On bsd my configuration file is only in /usr/local/etc/fonts/fonts.conf and not /etc/fonts/fonts.conf

I have to add a symbolic link for it to work

i have the same issue on freebsd and the symlink worked. would still be nice to have in the lib as is

Duplicate of #61? Easy to patch downstream e.g., https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/commit/a2394dacc23a

i would try making a patch but i dont know how to use freebsd's prefixes

Where do the font files themselves reside? If they are under /usr/local/share/fonts/, then they should be found even without finding/reading fontconfig configuration file(s) after #71, no?

cosmic-text still uses 0.16 series which lacks #71.

wouldnt it still make sense to patch in a the normal way to find the fonts.conf file for other os's?
