Greetings everyone. I’m currently running openSuse with KDE 4.10.3 on my laptop, and I am very rigorous about typography (an I am great lover of good monospaced fonts), I just found on the net a great monospaced font named ‘Aurulent Sans Mono’ created by Stephen G. Hartke which is free in the sense of freedom, and I downloaded and installed it, but it lacks of slashed zero or doted zero which for me is crucial since a pass lot of time writing and reading code (I am currently attending a 2nd year in CS in Portugal), so I created one and released the modifications and they can be found here https://bitbucket.org/eatg75/fonts/. I went and configured /etc/fonts/local.conf (because I want root to use the same configuration), but for some reason I cannot understand fontconfig is replacing the font I wanted wich is ‘Aurulent Sans Mono SZ’ with some other variable with font.
Can someone help me find out the error?
Below there is my configuration file.
