Bug Description
I saw lots of errors during application startups:
```
Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/
..
Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/
..
Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/
..
```
So I went Googling and found this forum from 2015: https:/
Which links to this page: http://
Which is now at: https:/
It proposes a fix. Of course you *may* apply it.
But I went looking further, if I could report this to the original fontconfig source.
And there I found for fontconfig 2.4.92 (6 November 2007): https:/
"Split 40-generic.conf into 40-nonlatin.conf and 45-latin.conf"
== What to do: ==
So maybe just remove 40-generic.conf from the package, and keep using 40-nonlatin.conf and 45-latin.conf
Just saying, but there's two more errors that I'm seeing. Maybe they have a similar simple solution.
```
Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/
Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/
