Bug#1003356: fontconfig-config: fonts-conf(5) man page: undocumented <alias binding="...">

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: fontconfig-config
Version: 2.13.1-4.2
Severity: minor

In the fonts-conf(5) man page:

   <ALIAS>
       Alias  elements  provide a shorthand notation for the set of
       common match operations needed to substitute one font family
       for  another.   They  contain a <family> element followed by
       optional <prefer>, <accept> and <default>  elements.   Fonts
       matching the <family> element are edited to prepend the list
       of <prefer>ed families before the matching <family>,  append
       the  <accept>able  families  after the matching <family> and
       append the <default> families to the end of the family list.

No mention of the binding attribute, while it is used in various
config files under the /etc/fonts/conf.avail directory.
