Fontconfig (or fontconfig) is a free software [6] program library designed to provide configuration, enumeration and substitution of fonts to other programs. Fontconfig was originally written and maintained by Keith Packard , and is currently maintained by Behdad Esfahbod .
Examples of systems that perform font substitution include fontconfig, Adobe Reader, Unidrv, Microsoft Word (since Word 2002), Libre Office and OpenOffice.org. [1] Not all systems that claim to offer font substitution are able to substitute for missing characters; some are only capable of substituting for missing fonts.
Modern X software typically relies on the newer Fontconfig system instead, but XLFDs are still supported in current X window implementations for compatibility with legacy software. XLFD is intended to support: unique, descriptive font names that support simple pattern matching; multiple font vendors, arbitrary character sets, and encodings
Qt has a bug where it fails to list CJK monospaced fonts because the underlying fontconfig defined "monospace" as "fixed-pitch" fonts. [5] With the exception of some Japanese monospace fonts like Source Han Code JP, where a 1.5× width is used as the ideograph width, [6] almost all CJK monospace fonts use 2× as the ideograph width. [3]

This is simply a wrapper around the FC_DPI system in fontconfig, but it suffices for scaling the text in Xft-based applications. The mechanism is also detected by desktop environments to set its own DPI, usually in conjunction with the EDID-based DisplayWidthMM family of Xlib functions.
