+    extension was added to Xsun starting from the Solaris 10 8/07
+    release, but it is not activated by default. To activate it, you
+    must issue (as root) the following command:

+    and then restart the X server.

+    There is a problem with the fontconfig library shipped with
+    Solaris 10 8/07 causing a seg-fault when it is used by Qt4.
+    Until this is fixed, a workaround is replacing the shared library
+    /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1 with a copy from a previous release or
+    installing a new version of fontconfig from http://www.sunfreeware.com/
+
+    On Solaris, the default fontconfig configuration gives preference
+    to bitmap fonts at (not so small) sizes. As bitmapped fonts are not
+    antialiased, you may prefer changing this configuration. This may be
+    done by adding the following stanza
+
+          <match target="pattern">
+              <edit name="prefer_bitmap">
+                  <bool>false</bool>
+              </edit>
+          </match>
+
+    to either ~/.fonts.conf (for a per-user change) or /etc/fonts/local.conf
+    (for a global system change). The stanza should be added between the
+    <fontconfig> and </fontconfig> tags. If neither ~/.fonts.conf nor
+    /etc/fonts/local.conf exist, you can create them with the following
+    content:
+
+      <?xml version="1.0"?>
+      <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
+      <fontconfig>
+          <match target="pattern">
+              <edit name="prefer_bitmap">
+                  <bool>false</bool>
+              </edit>
+          </match>
+      </fontconfig>
