"fontversion" used to be modified to sort out fonts as a technique.
But that lost the original purpose to do the version control between
releases.
This change adds the dedicated property into the cache.
Fixes https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/fontconfig/-/issues/226
Adds FC_SYMBOL.
This affects fonts having a cmap with platform 3 encoding 0.
We now map their glyphs from the PUA area to the Latin1 area.
See thread "Webdings and other MS symbol fonts don't display"
on the mailing list.
Test before/after with:
$ pango-view --markup --text='<span fallback="false">×</span>' --font=Wingdings
This feature requires the FreeType 2.5.1 or later at the build time.
Besides <range> element allows <double> elements with this changes.
This may breaks the cache but not bumping in this change sets at this moment.
please be aware if you want to try it and run fc-cache before/after to
avoid the weird thing against it.
Add "namelang" object to obtain the localized name in the font regardless
of the lang object. it's applied to "familylang", "stylelang" and
"fullnamelang" alltogether. this would helps if one wants to enforce
selecting them in the specific language if any. the default value for
the namelang object is determined from current locale.
If the provided style value doesn't match any available font, fall back to
using the weight and slant values by ensuring that those are in the pattern.
Locale environment variables (LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, LANG) must contain language,
and may contain territory and encoding. Don't accidentally require territory
as that will cause fontconfig to fall back to 'en'.
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
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.
Replace all of the bank/id pairs with simple offsets, recode several
data structures to always use offsets inside the library to avoid
conditional paths. Exposed data structures use pointers to hold offsets,
setting the low bit to distinguish between offset and pointer.
Use offset-based data structures for lang charset encodings; eliminates
separate data structure format for that file.
Much testing will be needed; offsets are likely not detected everywhere in
the library yet.
