Based on idea from Raimund Steger.
For example, one can do something like this:
<match target="font">
<test name="scalable" compare="eq">
<bool>false</bool>
</test>
<edit name="pixelsizefixupfactor" mode="assign">
<divide>
<name target="pattern">pixelsize</name>
<name target="font" >pixelsize</name>
</divide>
</edit>
<edit name="matrix" mode="assign">
<times>
<name>matrix</name>
<matrix>
<name>pixelsizefixupfactor</name> <double>0</double>
<double>0</double> <name>pixelsizefixupfactor</name>
</matrix>
</times>
</edit>
</match>
Part of work to make bitmap font scaling possible. See thread
discussion:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/fontconfig/2012-December/004498.html
Previously a <matrix> element could only accept four <double> literals.
It now accepts full expressions, which can in turn poke into the
pattern, do math, etc.
Allows reading configuration files, fonts and cache files from
the directories where the XDG Base Directory Specification defines.
the old directories are still in the configuration files for
the backward compatibility.
Add a new attribute `ignore-blanks' to <test>.
When this is set to "true", any blanks in the string will be ignored
on comparison. This takes effects for compare="eq" or "not_eq" only.
Also changed the behavior of the comparison on <alias> too.
The syntax to add any characters to the charset table looks like:
<match target="scan">
<test name="family">
<string>Buggy Sans</string>
</test>
<edit name="charset" mode="assign">
<plus>
<name>charset</name>
<charset>
<int>0x3220</int> <!-- PARENTHESIZED IDEOGRAPH ONE -->
</charset>
</plus>
</edit>
</match>
To remove any characters from the charset table:
<match target="scan">
<test name="family">
<string>Buggy Sans</string>
</test>
<edit name="charset" mode="assign">
<minus>
<name>charset</name>
<charset>
<int>0x06CC</int> <!-- ARABIC LETTER FARSI YEH -->
<int>0x06D2</int> <!-- ARABIC LETTER YEH BARREE -->
<int>0x06D3</int> <!-- ARABIC LETTER YEH BARREE WITH HAMZA ABOVE -->
</charset>
</minus>
</edit>
</match>
You could also use the range element for convenience:
...
<charset>
<int>0x06CC</int> <!-- ARABIC LETTER FARSI YEH -->
<range>
<int>0x06D2</int> <!-- ARABIC LETTER YEH BARREE -->
<int>0x06D3</int> <!-- ARABIC LETTER YEH BARREE WITH HAMZA ABOVE -->
</range>
</charset>
...
At OLPC, we came across a bug where the Browse activity (based on xulrunner)
took 100% CPU after an upgrade/. It turns out the Mozilla uses
FcConfigUptoDate() to check if new fonts have been added to the system, and
this function was always returning FcFalse since we have the mtimes of some
font directories set in the future. The attached patch makes
FcConfigUptoDate() print a warning and return FcTrue if mtime of directories
are in the future.
Since fontconfig didn't have special handling for paths in static Windows
libraries, I've created a patch which should fix this.
Basically it does this:
fccfg.c:
If fontconfig_path was uninitialised it tries to get the directory the exe is
in and uses a fonts/ dir inside that.
fcxml.c:
In case the fonts.conf lists a <dir>CUSTOMFONTDIR</dir>, it searches for a
fonts/ directory where the exe is located.
For Version 2.5.0, (same for previous version 2.4.2), in source file fccfg.c,
on line 700,
Original:
ret = FcStrCmpIgnoreCase (left.u.s, right.u.s) == 0;
Should change to:
ret = FcStrStrIgnoreCase (left.u.s, right.u.s) == 0;
I think this is just a mistake when copy-n-paste similar codes in the same
function. Apparently, return for "Not_contain" should be just the inverse of
"Contain", not the same as "Equal".
These two names are typos of the correct names. Instead of simply changing
them, the correct thing to do is leave them in the library, add the correct
functions and mark them as deprecated so any source packages will be updated.
This requires bumping the minor version of the library (for adding APIs)
instead of bumping the major version of the library (for removing APIs).
With the cache restructuring of 2.4.0, the ability to add
application-specific font files and directories was accidentally lost.
Reimplement this using by sharing the logic used to load configured font
directories.
Using a simple shell script that processes the public headers, two header
files are constructed that map public symbols to hidden internal aliases
avoiding the assocated PLT entry for referring to a public symbol.
A few mistakes in the FcPrivate/FcPublic annotations were also discovered
through this process
Eliminate need to reference cache object once per cached font, instead
just count the number of fonts used from the cache and bump the reference
count once by that amount. I think this makes this refernece technique
efficient enough for use.
