.fonts.conf font order, substitution, fallback setup in Karmic

[Zorael]

Has anyone managed to get their .fonts.conf configuration working properly Karmic? It seems X isn't interpreting the file in the same way as before.

See an example at the bottom of the original post at http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3099856. Normal options like embeddedbitmap and various hinting settings still work, but (edited) the font order thing seems to only work if you supply *one* font, as opposed to having a huge list.

FWIW, I recommend those font replacements.
