Hi,

>From a totally human and not technical POW, it would be great if use
of core fonts, especially *failing* use of core fonts, resulted in a
warning telling people to fontconfig-ify their apps.

I'd rather have users pester application authors/ISVs so they move to
the current millenium rather than having them hammer xorg and distro
lists to make core fonts work perfectly (which was never the case and
is unlikely to ever happen at this stage).

A lot of old *nix users have totally missed the fact fontconfig
happened, and need some education.

Regards,
