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.
It seems indices in _FcMatchers array are slightly mixed up, MATCH_DECORATIVE
should be 10, not 11.
And MATCH_RASTERIZER_INDEX should be 13, not 12, right?
Libtool-2.2 introduces new restrictions. So now it does not allow LT_*
variables as it includes marcros:
m4_pattern_forbid([^_?LT_[A-Z_]+$])
Rename the LT_ variables to LIBT_ to work around this restriction.
Building 2.5.91 on Solaris with the native make(1) yields

This is due to the following line (src/Makefile.am:143):
CLEANFILES := $(ALIAS_FILES)
Changing that to a standard assignment ("=") fixes the problem.
I believe the ":=" is a typo. ALIAS_FILES is just a statically assigned
variable; it's not like evaluating it more than once would be a problem.
If the /usr/bin/head program is missing or unusable, or if an unusable head
program is listed first in the PATH, fontconfig fails to build
using "sed -n 1p" instead of "head -1" would be a suitable workaround.
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.
David Turner has modified FreeType to be able to render sub-pixel decimated
glyphs using different methods of filtering. Fontconfig needs new
configurables to support selecting these new filtering options. A patch
follows that would correspond to one available for Cairo in bug 10301.
Bitmap-only TrueType fonts without a glyf table will not load a glyph when
FT_LOAD_NO_SCALE is set. Work around this by identifying TrueType fonts that have no
glyphs and select a single strike to measure the glyph map with.
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".
Fix a couple of longstanding problems with fontconfig on Windows that
manifest themselves especially in GIMP. The root cause to the problems is in
Microsoft's incredibly stupid stat() implementation. Basically, stat()
returns wrong timestamp fields for files on NTFS filesystems on machines
that use automatic DST switching.
See for instance http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154968 and
http://www.codeproject.com/datetime/dstbugs.asp
As fccache.c now looks at more fields in the stat struct I fill in them all.
I noticed that fstat() is used only on a fd just after opening it, so on
Win32 I just call my stat() replacement before opening instead...
Implementing a good replacement for fstat() would be harder because the code
in fccache.c wants to compare inode numbers. There are no (readily
accessible) inode numbers on Win32, so I fake it with the hash of the full
file name, in the case as it is on disk. And fstat() doesn't know the full
file name, so it would be rather hard to come up with a inode number to
identify the file.
The patch also adds similar handling for the cache directory as for the fonts
directory: If a cachedir element in fonts.conf contains the magic string
"WINDOWSTEMPDIR_FONTCONFIG_CACHE" it is replaced at runtime with a path under
the machine's (or user's) temp folder as returned by GetTempPath(). I don't
want to hardcode any pathnames in a fonts.conf intended to be distributed to
end-users, most of which who wouldn't know how to edit it anyway. And
requiring an installer to edit it gets complicated.
This reverts commit b607922909.

Xft still uses the macros that are in fcprivate.h. Document those macros and
include fcprivate.h in the published header files.
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).
fcprivate.h was supposed to extend the fontconfig API for the various
fontconfig utilities. Instead, just have those utilities use the internal
fcint.h header file (which they already do), removing fcprivate.h from the
installation and hence from the defacto public API.
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.
Glyph names (now used only for dingbats) were using many relocations,
causing startup latency plus per-process memory usage. Replace pointers with
table indices, shrinking table size and elimninating relocations.
The cache was inserted into the hash table before the timestamps in the
cache were verified; if that verification failed, an extra pointer to the
now freed cache would be left in the hash table. FcFini would fail an
assertion as a result.
If ~/.fonts.conf contains:
<edit mode="assign_replace" name="spacing">
<int>mono</int>
</edit>
fontconfig crashes:
mfabian@magellan:~$ fc-match sans
Fontconfig error: "~/.fonts.conf", line 46: "mono": not a valid
integer
セグメンテーション違反です (core dumped)
mfabian@magellan:~$
Of course the above is nonsense, “mono” is no valid integer indeed.
But I think nevertheless fontconfig should not crash in that case.
The problem was caused by partially truncated expression trees caused by
parse errors -- typechecking these walked the tree without verifying the
integrity of the structure. Of course, the whole tree will be discarded
shortly after being loaded as it contained an error.
Some mingw versions have broken X_OK checking; instead of trying to work
around this in a system-depedent manner, simply don't bother checking for
X_OK along with W_OK as such cases are expected to be mistakes, and not
sensible access control.
The old policy of eliding fullname entries which matched FC_FAMILY or
FC_FAMILY + FC_STYLE meant that applications could not know what the
font foundry set as the fullname of the font. Hiding information is not
helpful.
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.
In FcDirCacheUnlink(), the line
cache_hashed = FcStrPlus (cache_dir, cache_base);
allocates memory in cache_hashed that is never free()'d before the function
exits.
Reported by Ben Combee.
Recent versions of FreeType do not correctly deal with glyph name buffers
that are too small; work around this by declaring a buffer that can hold any
PS name (127 bytes).
I noticed that Qt always uses a different font than fc-match advertises.
Debugging the issue, I found that a call that looks pretty innocent is
changing all weak bindings to strong bindings and as such changes the
semantic of the match: FcPatternDuplicate.
