I was hoping to activate custom fonts without rooting, and hiding the unwanted "extra system fonts".

I activated fonts with USE_ALT_FONTS + fonts folder
I tried putting alternate.conf (unix type line-ends) with the following content.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
  <dir>/mnt/us/altfonts</dir>

<rejectfont>
	<pattern>
		<patelt name="family">
			<string>Song S</string>
		</patelt>
	</pattern>
	<pattern>
		<patelt name="family">
			<string>Song T</string>
		</patelt>             
	</pattern>
	<pattern>
		<patelt name="family">
			<string>MKai PRC</string>
		</patelt>
	</pattern>
	<pattern>                
		<patelt name="family">   
			<string>Futura</string>  
		</patelt>                  
	</pattern> 
</rejectfont>

</fontconfig>

but the unwanted fonts still show up, and also fonts in /altfonts are not read - so it seems alternate.conf is not read.

EDIT: PS: I've done the usual device restarts after each modification mentioned above

Tested with 5.3.4 and 5.3.5. As I don't have root access, I don't know if the XML error discovered by DuckieTigger is solved, but it seems not.
