Description Graham Perrin 2021-09-26 12:11:05 UTC 
Comparable to bug 367650 for kfontview … or, is this a duplicate?

<https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/79999/#post-533304> noted that Font Management uses: 

~/.fonts/

Subsequent discussion in IRC drew attention to: 

<https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html#variables>

<https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/fontconfig/-/commit/8c255fb185d5651b57380b0a9443001e8051b29d#baa0db2f57cfa5d87d2cde0c3f53e02db4e19d46_28_29> describes future removal.
