| Font configuration and customization library |
| Version 2.3.94 |

| |
| Check INSTALL for compilation and installation instructions. |
| Report bugs to https://bugs.freedesktop.org in the fontconfig module. |
| |
| 2.3.94 |
| |
| fc-cat can take directories as input and creates old-style fonts.cache |
| listings. |
| fc-cache takes -r --really-force which blows away all old caches and |
| regenerates. |
| Robustness fixes, integer overflow fixes (notably to cache handling |
| code), toast broken global cache files. |
| Change binary format to make it compatible with static langset |
| information (thanks to Takashi Iwai). |
| Open hashed caches before fonts.cache-2 (Takashi Iwai). |
| Fix FcFontSetMatch's algorithm, which used to unjustly kill fonts for |
| not declaring certain elements (Takashi Iwai). |
| Fix matching bug when multiple elements match; don't use |
| the sum of all scores, but the best score (James Su). |
| Make fc-lang more friendly to Windows systems. |
| Remove archaic chars from Georgian charset; add Euro character to |
| charsets for European languages. |
| Fix treatment of broken PCF fonts that don't declare family names. |
| Pass O_BINARY to open if appropriate (reported by Doodle). |
| Normalize font directories to the form in which they appear in |
| config files. |
| Add a record of the cached directory to the cache file. |
| Perf optimizations (Dirk Mueller; some reported by Michael Meeks.) |
| Don't loop infinitely on recursive symlinks. |
| Make 'make distcheck' work with automake 1.6.3. |
| Replace 'stamp' target with mkinstalldirs. |
| Don't stop scanning if a directory in fonts.conf doesn't exist, |
| because subsequent directories might exist. |
| Put directory names into global cache (reported by Ronny V. Vindenes). |
| Treat zh-hk fonts differently from zh-tw fonts. This patch may cause |
| fontconfig to treat A-X fonts differently from A-Y fonts; please mail |
| the fontconfig list if this causes any problems. |
| Fix for unaligned memory accesses (Andreas Schwab). |
| Fix treatment of cache directory as read from cache file; don't use |
| string equality to determine if we have the right file, use inode |
| equality. |
| Properly skip past dir caches that contain zero fonts, as occurs |
| in global caches (reported by Mike Fabian). |
| Print out full pathname in fc-match -v (reported by Frederic Crozat). |
| Fix bug where fc-match crashes when given __DUMMY__ property to |
| match on. |
| |
| 2.3.93 |
| |
| Create cache files in /var/cache/fontconfig with hashed filenames, if |
| possible, for added FHS compliance. |
| Make fc-cat read both per-directory and global cache files. |
| Add config file for Persian fonts from Sharif FarsiWeb, Inc. |
| Major performance improvements by Dirk Mueller, Stephen Kulow, and Michael Matz at SuSE: in particular, speed up FcFontSetMatch, and inline many functions. |
| Fix treatment of globs in config files, broken since 2.3.2 and discovered by Mathias Clasen. |
| Don't use freetype internal headers (patch by Matthias Clasen). |
| Further space improvements: create langsets statically, so that they can live in .rodata. |
| Properly align mmapped data structures to make e.g. ia64 happy. |
| Bug fixes. |
| |
| 2.3.92 |
| |
| Fix corrupted caches bugs from 2.3.91 (reported by Mike Fabian). |
| Store only basename in the cache, reconstitute on demand |
| (reported by James Cloos). |
| Change the rule for artificial emboldening in fonts.conf.in. This |
| enables the support for artificial emboldening included in cairo |
| (patch by Zhe Su). |
| Add FC_EMBEDDED_BITMAP object type to tell Xft/Cairo whether |
| to load embedded bitmaps or not (patch by Jinghua Luo). |
| Fix GCC4 warnings (some by Behdad Esfahbod). |
| Support localized font family and style names; this has been reported |
| to break old apps like xfd, but modern (gtk+/qt/mozilla) apps work |
| fine (patch by Zhe Su). |
| Prevent fc-list from escaping strings when printing them (reported by |
| Matthias Clasen). |
| Add valist sentinel markup for FcObjectSetBuild and |
| FcPatternBuild (patch by Marcus Meissner). |
| Add consts to variables so as to move arrays into .rodata (patch by |
| Ross Burton). |
| Modify config file to use Greek fonts before Asian fonts with |
| Greek glyphs. (patch by Simos Xenitellis). |
| Use libtool -no-undefined flag on all platforms (patch by Christian |
| Biesinger). |
| |
| 2.3.91 |
| |
| Use libxml2 if requested or if expat not available. (Mathias Hasselmann) |
| Fix multi-arch cache files: compute the position for the |
| block to be added using info from OrigFile, not NewFile. (plam) |
| Cast results of sizeof() to unsigned int to get rid of |
| warnings on x86_64 (reported by Matthias Clasen). |
| Use FcAtomic to rewrite cache files; don't unlink the fonts.cache-2 |
| file even if there's no data to write; just write an empty cache file. |
| (Reported by Lubos Lunak) |
| Allocate room for the subdirectory names in each directory cache. |
| (Reported by James Cloos) |
| |
| 2.3.90 |

| directly from cache files. (Patrick Lam) |
| |

| |
| Patch memory leaks in using iconv. (Reported by Chris Capoccia) |
| Patch memory leaks in fc-cache. (Reported by Chris Capoccia) |
| Fetch bitmap glyphs to get widths during font evaluation. (keithp) |
| Share strings through FcObjectStaticName (Ross Burton) |

| |
| Fix memory leak of patterns rejected by configuration (#2518) |
| |
| Create prototype /etc/fonts/conf.d directory and populate it with a few |
| sample files. These samples are unused as the file names don't start with |
| numbers. |

| |
| 2.2.97 |
| |
| Fc-cache sleeps before exiting to ensure filesystem timestamps are well |
| ordered. |
| |
| Added Punjai orthography. |
| |
| The timestamp in fonts.conf is gone now. Too many problems. |
| |
| The default font path includes all of the X fonts; use selectfont/rejectfont |
| to eliminate bitmaps, as shown in the sample local.conf file. |
| |
| <include> configuration elements may now reference a directory. Files |
| in that directory matching [0-9]* are loaded in UTF-8 collating sequence order. |
| |
| <selectfont> configuration added to control which fonts are used. |
| |
| fontformat font pattern elements built from the FT_Get_X11_Font_Format |
| function in newer versions of FreeType. |
| |
| 'capability' list constructed from gsub/gpos and silf values in TrueType |
| files. |
| |
| Multi-lingual names (style, family, fullname) extracted and stored with |
| parallel <foo>lang properties marking language. |
| |
| 2.2.96 |
| |
| Fix FcConfigUpToDate to actually check all font directories and eliminate |
| a typo which completely prevented it from working (Lubos Lunak |
| <l.lunak@suse.cz>) |
| |
| Remove comma at end of FcResult enum definition for picky compilers. |
| |
| 2.2.95 |
| |
| Add FcResultOutOfMemory so FcFontSetMatch can return accurate error. |
| |
| Replace MIN/MAX/ABS macros which happened to be in old FreeType releases |
| with FC_MIN/FC_MAX/FC_ABS macros owned by fontconfig. |
| |
| 2.2.94 |
| |
| The 2.2.93 release was prepared with a broken libtool which created |
| the shared library without the '.so' in the file names. |
| |
| 2.2.93 |
| |
| This is the third prerelease of fontconfig 2.3. Significant changes from |
| 2.2.92 are: |
| |
| o Use new FreeType #include syntax |
| o use y_ppem field instead of 'height' in bitmap sizes rec - |
| FreeType changed the semantics. Still uses height for |
| older versions of FreeType |
| o Don't construct program manuals unless docbook is available |
| |
| 2.2.92 |
| |
| o make distcheck work |
| |
| 2.2.91 |
| |
| o Switch to SGML manuals |
| o Add FC_DUAL width spacing value |
| o Add FcFini to close out fontconfig and release all memory |
| |
| 2.2 |
| |
| This is the third public release of fontconfig, a font configuration and |
| customization library. Fontconfig is designed to locate fonts within the |
| system and select them according to requirements specified by applications. |
| |
| Fontconfig is not a rasterization library, nor does it impose a particular |
| rasterization library on the application. The X-specific library |
| 'Xft' uses fontconfig along with freetype to specify and rasterize fonts. |
