Assuming both fonts provide the same FontNames and you have some (not
purely subjective) grounds for considering your font superior, just
register it with defoma using a higher priority.
fontconfig.defoma will then make sure the symlinks in
/var/lib/defoma/fontconfig.d/ point to your version.<br>

(defoma has lots of faults, but it does handle font conflicts fairly well)<br>

glyphs of Indic languages, but the conjuncts are not defined properly,
hence ttf-freefonts is not suitable. ttf-indic-fonts has fonts designed
explicitly to work with Indic languages, however pango/other rendering
engines, use ttf-freefonts even when Indian locales are used. For
example for the bn_IN and bn_BD locales, people usually prefer the
Mukti or the Lohit Bengali font, but pango by default uses
Freesans/Freeserif. Similarly for hi_IN, people prefer the Gargi font,
but again FreeSans/Freeserif is used. I was wondering how to make sure
that for some locales, the fonts are chosen from ttf-indic-fonts,
without affecting the default fonts for the other locales. <br><br>Inside ttf-indic-fonts, I've set the proper defoma priorities to the fonts, so that the appropriate fonts are given priority.<br><br>Thanks<br clear="all">
