~/.fonts.conf does not work?

I'm running current so the fontconfig is 2.6.0. I have this section in ~/.fonts.conf:

Code:

        <alias>

                <family>grissiom</family>

                <prefer><family>Liberation Mono</family></prefer>

                <default><family>WenQuanYi Zen Hei Mono</family></default>

        </alias>

but fc-match tell me:

Code:

% fc-match "grissiom"

simsun.ttc: "SimSun" "Regular"

Simsun is an other font I have installed. Why it doesn't show "Liberation Mono" or "WenQuanYi Zen Hei Mono"?

Your rule might have been overridden by one that Fontconfig loaded earlier.

Try putting the rule in a file starts with a lower number. Say, /etc/fonts/conf.d/35-grissiom.conf.

Thanks! I will consider your advise. But I just want a user-wide configuration not a system-wide configuration. And don't need root privilege. How could I achieve that?

You can rename /etc/fonts/conf.d/*-user.conf to something that starts with a lower number. Say, /etc/fonts/conf.d/35-user.conf. Then Fontconfig will give a higher priority to your .fonts.conf file.
