We used to have a shared-str pool. Removed to make thread-safety
work easier. My measurements show that the extra overhead is not
significant by any means.
These never worked as intended. The problem is, if Fontconfig tries to
read config files when these new types / constants are not registered,
it errs. As a result, no defined types / constants are usable from
config files. Which makes these really useless. Xft was the only user
of this API and even there it's not really used. Just kill it.
One inch closer to thread-safety since we can fix the object-type hash
table at compile time.
The type will be resolved at runtime...
For example, we can do this now without getting a warning:
<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>
<edit name="size" mode="assign">
<divide>
<name>size</name>
<name>pixelsizefixupfactor</name>
</divide>
</edit>
</match>
Previously the last edit was generating:
Fontconfig warning: "/home/behdad/.local/etc/fonts/conf.d/00-scale-bitmap-fonts.conf", line 29: saw unknown, expected number
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:

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.
When ./configure'd in a directory other than the srcdir, we need to look
in ${top_builddir)/src for the generated header fcstdint.h
