configure replaces a NONE prefix with the default prefix too late.
So we move fonts.conf creation to Makefile, such that prefix is correctly
expanded. Ugly, but works.
Previously an index j was added to element score to prefer matches earlier
in the value list to the later ones. This index started from 0, meaning
that the score zero could be generated for the first element. By starting
j from one, scores for when the element exists in both pattern and font
can never be zero. The score zero is reserved for when the element is
NOT available in both font and pattern. We will use this property later.
This shouldn't change matching much. The only difference I can think of
is that if a font family exists both as a bitmap font and a scalable
version, and when requesting it at the size of the bitmap version,
previously the font returned was nondeterministic. Now the scalable
version will always be preferred.
Previously the matcher multiplied comparison results by 100 and added
index value to it. With long lists of families (lots of aliases),
reaching 100 is not that hard. That could result in a non-match early
in the list to be preferred over a match late in the list. Changing
the multiplier from 100 to 1000 should fix that.
To keep things relatively in order, the lang multiplier is changed
from 1000 to 10000.
Previously fc-match "xxx,nazli" matched Nazli, but "xxx, nazli" didn't.
This was because of a bug in FcCompareFamily's short-circuit check
that forgot to ignore spaces.
I can't understand why the special case is needed. Indeed, removing it
does not make any difference in the "fc-match --verbose" output, and
that's the only time fc-match uses FcPatternPrint.
Two changes:
- after mkdir(), we immediately chmod(), such that we are not affected
by stupid umask's.
- if a directory we want to use is not writable but exists, we try a
chmod on it. This is to recover from stupid umask's having affected
us with older versions.
The current behaviour of FcSortWalk() is to create a new FcCharSet on
each iteration that is the union of the previous iteration with the next
FcCharSet in the font set. This causes the existing FcCharSet to be
reproduced in its entirety and then allocates fresh leaves for the new
FcCharSet. In essence the number of allocations is quadratic wrt the
number of fonts required.
By introducing a new method for merging a new FcCharSet with an existing
one we can change the behaviour to be effectively linear with the number
of fonts - allocating no more leaves than necessary to cover all the
fonts in the set.
For example, profiling 'gedit UTF-8-demo.txt'
Allocator nAllocs nBytes
Before:
FcCharSetFindLeafCreate 62886 2012352
FcCharSetPutLeaf 9361 11441108
After:
FcCharSetFindLeafCreate 1940 62080
FcCharSetPutLeaf 281 190336
The savings are even more significant for applications like firefox-3.0b5
which need to switch between large number of fonts.
Before:
FcCharSetFindLeafCreate 4461192 142758144
FcCharSetPutLeaf 1124536 451574172
After:
FcCharSetFindLeafCreate 80359 2571488
FcCharSetPutLeaf 18940 9720522
Out of interest, the next most frequent allocations are
FcPatternObjectAddWithBinding 526029 10520580
tt_face_load_eblc 42103 2529892
Note that this also fixes a bug with FcFontList() where previously
it was NOT checking whether the config is up-to-date. May want to
keep the old behavior and document that ScanInterval is essentially
unused internally (FcFontSetList uses it, but we can remove that
too).
Added -h instead of -?. And upon -h and --help, write usave to stdout
instead of stdin, and return 0 instead of 1.
-? still works like before as that's what getopt returns upon unknown
arguments.
