The UUID files would be placed in each font directory to provide the
unique cache name, independent of path, for that directory. The UUID
files are undesireable for a couple of reasons:
1) They must be placed in the font directories to be useful. This
requires modifying the font directories themselves, introducing
potential visible timestamp changes when running multiple
applications, and makes the cache processing inconsistent between
applications with permission to write to the font directories and
applications without such permission.
2) The UUID contents were generated randomly, which makes the font
cache not reproducible across multiple runs.
One proposed fix for 2) is to make the UUID dependent on the font
directory path, but once we do that, we can simply use the font
directory path itself as the key as the original MD5-based font cache
naming mechanism did.
The goal of the UUID file mechanism was to fix startup time of
flatpaks; as the font path names inside the flatpak did not match the
font path names in the base system, the font cache would need to be
reconstructed the first time the flatpak was launched.
The new mechanism for doing this is to allow each '<dir>' element in
the configuration include a 'map' attribute. When looking for a cache
file for a particular directory, if the directory name starts with the
contents of the <dir> element, that portion of the name will be
replaced with the value of the 'map' attribute.
Outside of the flatpak, nothing need change -- fontconfig will build
cache files using real directory names.
Inside the flatpak, the custom fonts.conf file will now include
mappings such as this:
<dir map="/usr/share/fonts">/run/host/fonts</dir>
When scanning the directory /run/host/fonts/ttf, fontconfig will
use the name /usr/share/fonts/ttf as the source for building the cache
file name.
The existing FC_FILE replacement code used for the UUID-based
implementation continues to correctly adapt font path names seen by
applications.
v2:
Leave FcDirCacheCreateUUID stub around to avoid removing
public API function.
Document 'map' attribute of <dir> element in
fontconfig-user.sgml

Because FcDirCacheDeleteUUID does not reset the modification time on
the directory, and because FcDirCacheRead unconditionally creates the
UUID file each time it is run, any empty directory in the cache will
get its timestamp changed each time the cache for that directory is
read.
Instead, just leave the UUID file around as it is harmless.
The alternative would be to only create the UUID file after the cache
has been created and the directory has been discovered to be
non-empty, but that would delay the creation of the UUID file.

Like FcFreeTypeQuery(), but adds patterns for all fonts found, including named
instances of variable fonts. If id is -1, then all collection faces are queried.
Returns number of fonts added.
This merges the same face loop that was in fc-query. and fcdir.c.
Needs documentation update.
On Windows, opened or locked files cannot be removed.
Since fontconfig locked an old cache file while updating the file,
fontconfig failed to replace the file with updated file on Windows.
This patch makes fontconfig does not lock the old cache file
while updating it on Windows.
Take a look at the nano second in the mtime to figure out
if the cache needs to be updated if available.
and do the mutex lock between scanning and writing a cache
to avoid the conflict.
Also we don't need to scan directories again after writing
caches. so getting rid of the related code as well.

Prior to the change of 32ac7c75e8
FcConfigAppFontAddFile() always returned FcTrue no matter what
fonts was added. after that, it always returned FcFalse because
adding a font doesn't add any subdirs with FcFileScanConfig().
so changing that to simply ignore it.
Also fixing it to return FcFalse if non-fonts was added, i.e.
FcFreeTypeQuery() fails.

Windows does not update mtime of directory on FAT filesystem when
file is added to it or removed from it. Fontconfig uses mtime of
directory to check cache file aging and hence fails to detect
newly added or recently removed files.
This changeset detects FAT filesystem (currently implemented for
Linux) and adds generating checksum of directory entries instead
of using mtime which guarantees proper cache rebuild.
For non-FAT filesystems this patch adds single syscall per directory
which is negligeable overhead.
This fixes bug https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25535

Do not remove blacklisted fonts during cache generation. We already
apply the blacklist when reading the caches. The idea always has been
that the config should not affect caches built, although that design
was tarnished with the introduction of target="scan" configurations.
Before a NULL config was passed down adn essentially FcFileScan was
equivalent to FcFreeTypeQuery. Now fc-scan tool correctly applies
the configuration to the scanned patterns.
Instead of relying on mtime ordering between a directory and its associated
cache file, write the directory mtime into the cache file itself. This makes
cache file checks more reliable across file systems.
This change is made in a way that old programs can use new cache files, but
new programs will need new cache files.
Missing NULL font check before attempting to edit scanned pattern.
Also, <match target="scan"> rules are now checked to ensure all
edited variables are in the predefined set; otherwise, the resulting
cache files will not be stable.
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
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.
Instead of making filename canonicalization occur in multiple places, it
occurs only in FcStrAddFilename now, as all filenames pass through that
function at one point.
Instead of passing directory information around in separate variables,
collect it all in an FcCache structure. Numerous internal and tool
interfaces changed as a result of this.
Charsets are now pre-frozen before being serialized. This causes them to
share across multiple fonts in the same cache.
Validate cache contents and skip broken caches, looking down cache path for
valid ones.
Every time a directory is scanned, it will be written to a cache file if
possible, so fc-cache doesn't need to re-write the cache file. This makes
detecting when the cache was generated a bit tricky, so we guess that if the
cache wasn't valid before running and is valid afterwards, the cache file
was written.
Also, allow empty charsets to be serialized with null leaves/numbers.
Eliminate a leak in FcEdit by switching to FcObject sooner.
Call FcFini from fc-match to make valgrind happy.
