Title:
  Silently overwrites ~/.fonts.conf

Status in font-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  See description here:

  http://code.google.com/p/font-manager/issues/detail?id=38

  <<I expect font manager to NOT touch the .fonts.conf file if it
  already exists or at least put its content into the suggested .config
  /font-manager/local.conf file. If in doubt, it should prompt me for
  actions.

  <<Font manger instead silently overwrites the file without making any
  backup or the like. My local settings are thus lost now and I have to
  once again look into this to reproduce them.>>

  
  Font Manager overwrites ~/.fonts.conf, moves it to ~/.config/font-manager/local.conf, but then proceeds to overwrite *that* file as well. Any custom settings you have may be lost. Very dangerous. Version 0.5.7.
