All non trivial users of FontConfig must use FcConfigGetSysRoot to
resolve file properties in patterns. In order to support sysroot the
filename in the file property must be relative to the sysroot, but the
value of the file property in a pattern is directly exposed, making it
impossible for FontConfig to resolve the filename itself transparently.
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
The SGML for these functions exists, and they are named as manpages,
but because they are not mentioned in fontconfig-devel.sgml, no
documentation is ever generated, and installation under --enable-docs
fails.
(The documentation I have written in fontconfig-devel.sgml is boilerplate
so I can get the manpages generated. It's probably wrong.)
It was added without proper measurement and a fuzzy possible
use-case (font servers) in mind, but reality check shows that
this significantly slows down caching. As such, deprecate it
and do NOT compute hash during caching.
Makes caching two to three times faster (ignoring the 2 second
delay in fc-cache).
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.
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.
Add detection of iconv
Document new selectfont elements
Switch to UTF-8 in comment
Add fullname, and family/style/fullname language entries
Respect selectfont/*/glob
Add support for selectfont
Add multi-lingual family/style/fullname support
Expose FcListPatternMatchAny (which selectfont/*/pattern uses)
Add new FcPatternRemove/FcPatternAppend. FcObjectStaticName stores computed
pattern element names which are required to be static.
