What does the script do?

Ensures that $HOME/.config/fontconfig/conf.d/ path exists, then writes a file called $HOME/.config/fontconfig/conf.d/calibri.conf with following content:

<fontconfig>
  <match target="font">
    <test compare="contains" name="family">
      <string>Calibri</string>
    </test>
    <edit mode="assign" name="embeddedbitmap">
      <bool>false</bool>
    </edit>
  </match>
</fontconfig>

You will need to restart after making this change. More info can be found in man fonts-conf in Ubuntu and its derivatives.
