David Turner has modified FreeType to be able to render sub-pixel decimated
glyphs using different methods of filtering. Fontconfig needs new
configurables to support selecting these new filtering options. A patch
follows that would correspond to one available for Cairo in bug 10301.
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.
Limited FC_DEBUG documentation (just shows values and vague idea of what
they're related to). Also document \ escape syntax for font names, including
how family name and values have different escape requirements.
wherever the X fonts are located).
Document new <include>directory-name</include> semantics
add <include ignore_missing="yes">conf.d</include>
Add selectfont to ignore bitmap fonts, add comment for selectfont which
accepts bitmap fonts.
Allow <include> configuration elements to reference directories. Parse and
load all files of the form [0-9]* in sorted order.
Add detection of iconv
Document new selectfont elements
Switch to UTF-8 in comment
Add fullname, and family/style/fullname language entries
Respect selectfont/*/glob
Add support for selectfont
Add multi-lingual family/style/fullname support
Expose FcListPatternMatchAny (which selectfont/*/pattern uses)
Add new FcPatternRemove/FcPatternAppend. FcObjectStaticName stores computed
pattern element names which are required to be static.
