This is after the update of many packages. It should not look like this.

Title:
  update broke fonts in firefox

Status in “fontconfig” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have Ubuntu Studio 14.04. The updates window popped up and asked me
  to install updates. Which I did. This somehow broke my font
  configuration. So that I have blurry fonts in firefox. No other
  application is affected.

  I have modified nothing in /etc/fonts/conf.avail.

  If updates changes the contents of /etc/fonts/conf.d I do not see the
  purpose of having a conf.avail/conf.d - organization. The purpose must
  be to let users link or unlink files in conf.d to files in conf.avail.

  I don't expect updates to create links in /etc/fonts/conf.d that were
  previously created at installation time or upgrate time. So if I
  unlink something in /etc/fonts/conf.d I expect it to stay that way.

  Changes to the files themselves should go in /etc/fonts/conf.avail.

  Changes to which files are available by default in /etc/fonts/conf.d
  should be applied only when they are CHANGES. Not reinstall the
  default links with every update.
