nixpkgs/nixos/modules/config/fonts/fontconfig.nix

/*

NixOS support 2 fontconfig versions, "support" and "latest".

- "latest" refers to default fontconfig package (pkgs.fontconfig).
  configuration files are linked to /etc/fonts/VERSION/conf.d/
- "support" refers to supportPkg (pkgs."fontconfig_${supportVersion}").
  configuration files are linked to /etc/fonts/conf.d/

This module generates a package containing configuration files and link it in /etc/fonts.

Fontconfig reads files in folder name / file name order, so the number prepended to the configuration file name decide the order of parsing.
Low number means high priority.
