Hinting will be done before Embolden in freetype2,
but in such case, Embolden will get wrong result
on some glyph contours after applying hinting.
Actually, hinting should be done after embolden, but we can't
fix it in current freetype2. So as a workaround, just turn off
hinting if we want to do embolden.
Autohinting for Indic fonts has been disabled since freetype could not handle
it properly. But since freetype-2.3.5, the hinting problems for indic fonts
have been fixed. Thus this is a request to enable the autohinting in
fontconfig again for all the indic fonts.
I propose to replace the default Baekmuk Korean fonts with Un fonts.
Some people don't agree but most Korean people prefer Un fonts to Baekmuk
ones. Un fonts just look better, at least in the most common Linux desktops
(antialiased, GNOME or KDE, high resolution).
Most of the remaining elements in fonts.conf have been moved to separate
files. The numbering scheme for conf.d files has been documented in the
README and the files have been renumbered. Config files have been
validated against the DTD and a few minor errors fixed.
The Delicious family includes one named Delicious Heavy, a bold variant
which is unfortunately marked as having normal weight. Because the family
name is 'Delicious', fontconfig accidentally selects this font instead of
the normal weight variant. The fix here rewrites the scanned data by running
the scanned pattern through a new substitution sequence tagged with
<match target=scan>; a sample for the Delicious family is included to
demonstrate how it works (and fix Delicious at the same time).
Also added was a new match predicate -- the 'decorative' predicate which is
automatically detected in fonts by searching style names for key decorative
phrases like SmallCaps, Shadow, Embosed and Antiqua. Suggestions for
additional decorative key words are welcome. This should have little effect
on font matching except when two fonts share the same characteristics except
for this value.
Sub-pixel configuration examples must smash subpixel value as Xft always
sets it from X.
Change sub-pixel rendering debconf descriptions from Enable/Disable to
Always/Never.
Add debian package construction stuff.
Update to newer versions of these tools
Get library manuals to build again (we love automake).
Update debian build system to switch maintainers and deal with 2.3
functionality
configuration files. Deprecate use of local.conf for local
customizations in favor of this directory based scheme which is more
easily integrated into installation systems.
