what, you think configuring your font system with underdocumented XML and
configuring your keyboard and screen with underdocumented HAL fdi XML
isn't clear and easy? What are you on?

(Sanity, I suspect. I'm still not sure exactly what the hell an .fdi is
for, whether it documents what your hardware is *capable* of, or how it's
*configured*, or as seems likely both in an ugly mess... and I'm not even
sure how to figure it out. There's no useful docs in the HAL source tree
nor the fontconfig one and this stuff isn't in man pages. *sigh*)
