Hello,

We seem to have clashing /etc/fonts/conf.d/45-latin.conf vs
/etc/fonts/conf.d/60-latin.conf.

These a) use different methods of aliasing fonts to their default families and
b) have different choices for the default fonts. Currently 60-latin.conf is the
one always taking effect.

In addition, 60-latin.conf is now overriding 50-user.conf and 51-local.conf,
thus preventing user customisation of their aliased fonts from working. e.g., I
have a ~/.fonts.conf that sets my own preferred font for the monospace family.
This is no longer working on karmic

One of these latin.confs should be removed and the remaining one kept at
45-latin.conf

Thanks for considering,

Martin
