Perhaps we could have ttf-freefont (and all tff-* packages for that matter) provide one conf.avail file each (for ttf-freefont, it would be pretty similar to 69-unifont.conf), but I don't like the idea of splitting conf.avail files further as Fedora does (one for sans, serif, and mono): users should want to use fonts consistently, not pick one sans and a completely different serif...
Comments?
Looking at the spec file, i dont think Fedora modifies the conf files provided by fontconfig:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/fontconfig.git/tree/
filelist of the fedora 17 version:
http://pkgs.org/fedora-17/fedora-updates-i386/fontconfig-2.8.0-8.fc17.i686.rpm.html
which includes both 40-nonlatin.conf and 69-unifont.conf
I haven't added one to ttf-linux-libertine because all I could find the Fedora ones achieve are silly things like using it as substitute for Times New Roman - all we can possibly do here is give the users simple template files they can link to from conf.d if they want to enable the font as their default mono/sans/serif.
