===> Important Fontconfig configuration change <===

The way fontconfig is configured has been changed.
Configuration is done via /etc/fonts/conf.avail and conf.d.
Read /etc/fonts/conf.avail/README for more information.

Configuration via /etc/fonts/local.conf is still possible,
but is no longer recommended for options available in conf.avail.

Removing outdated configuration files... done.

updating font cache... done.

The README file used to be in /etc/fonts/conf.avail/.
The current location is /etc/fonts/conf.d/README; the post_upgrade message should be updated to reflect the change.
