1 | Fontconfig | |
2 | Font configuration and customization library | |
3 | Version 2.3.94 | |
4 | 2006-02-24 | |
5 | ||
6 | Check INSTALL for compilation and installation instructions. | |
7 | Report bugs to https://bugs.freedesktop.org in the fontconfig module. | |
8 | ||
9 | 2.3.94 | |
10 | ||
11 | fc-cat can take directories as input and creates old-style fonts.cache | |
12 | listings. | |
13 | fc-cache takes -r --really-force which blows away all old caches and | |
14 | regenerates. | |
15 | Robustness fixes, integer overflow fixes (notably to cache handling | |
16 | code), toast broken global cache files. | |
17 | Change binary format to make it compatible with static langset | |
18 | information (thanks to Takashi Iwai). | |
19 | Open hashed caches before fonts.cache-2 (Takashi Iwai). | |
20 | Fix FcFontSetMatch's algorithm, which used to unjustly kill fonts for | |
21 | not declaring certain elements (Takashi Iwai). | |
22 | Fix matching bug when multiple elements match; don't use | |
23 | the sum of all scores, but the best score (James Su). | |
24 | Make fc-lang more friendly to Windows systems. | |
25 | Remove archaic chars from Georgian charset; add Euro character to | |
26 | charsets for European languages. | |
27 | Fix treatment of broken PCF fonts that don't declare family names. | |
28 | Pass O_BINARY to open if appropriate (reported by Doodle). | |
29 | Normalize font directories to the form in which they appear in | |
30 | config files. | |
31 | Add a record of the cached directory to the cache file. | |
32 | Perf optimizations (Dirk Mueller; some reported by Michael Meeks.) | |
33 | Don't loop infinitely on recursive symlinks. | |
34 | Make 'make distcheck' work with automake 1.6.3. | |
35 | Replace 'stamp' target with mkinstalldirs. | |
36 | Don't stop scanning if a directory in fonts.conf doesn't exist, | |
37 | because subsequent directories might exist. | |
38 | Put directory names into global cache (reported by Ronny V. Vindenes). | |
39 | Treat zh-hk fonts differently from zh-tw fonts. This patch may cause | |
40 | fontconfig to treat A-X fonts differently from A-Y fonts; please mail | |
41 | the fontconfig list if this causes any problems. | |
42 | Fix for unaligned memory accesses (Andreas Schwab). | |
43 | Fix treatment of cache directory as read from cache file; don't use | |
44 | string equality to determine if we have the right file, use inode | |
45 | equality. | |
46 | Properly skip past dir caches that contain zero fonts, as occurs | |
47 | in global caches (reported by Mike Fabian). | |
48 | Print out full pathname in fc-match -v (reported by Frederic Crozat). | |
49 | Fix bug where fc-match crashes when given __DUMMY__ property to | |
50 | match on. | |
51 | ||
52 | 2.3.93 | |
53 | ||
54 | Create cache files in /var/cache/fontconfig with hashed filenames, if | |
55 | possible, for added FHS compliance. | |
56 | Make fc-cat read both per-directory and global cache files. | |
57 | Add config file for Persian fonts from Sharif FarsiWeb, Inc. | |
58 | Major performance improvements by Dirk Mueller, Stephen Kulow, and Michael Matz at SuSE: in particular, speed up FcFontSetMatch, and inline many functions. | |
59 | Fix treatment of globs in config files, broken since 2.3.2 and discovered by Mathias Clasen. | |
60 | Don't use freetype internal headers (patch by Matthias Clasen). | |
61 | Further space improvements: create langsets statically, so that they can live in .rodata. | |
62 | Properly align mmapped data structures to make e.g. ia64 happy. | |
63 | Bug fixes. | |
64 | ||
65 | 2.3.92 | |
66 | ||
67 | Fix corrupted caches bugs from 2.3.91 (reported by Mike Fabian). | |
68 | Store only basename in the cache, reconstitute on demand | |
69 | (reported by James Cloos). | |
70 | Change the rule for artificial emboldening in fonts.conf.in. This | |
71 | enables the support for artificial emboldening included in cairo | |
72 | (patch by Zhe Su). | |
73 | Add FC_EMBEDDED_BITMAP object type to tell Xft/Cairo whether | |
74 | to load embedded bitmaps or not (patch by Jinghua Luo). | |
75 | Fix GCC4 warnings (some by Behdad Esfahbod). | |
76 | Support localized font family and style names; this has been reported | |
77 | to break old apps like xfd, but modern (gtk+/qt/mozilla) apps work | |
78 | fine (patch by Zhe Su). | |
79 | Prevent fc-list from escaping strings when printing them (reported by | |
80 | Matthias Clasen). | |
81 | Add valist sentinel markup for FcObjectSetBuild and | |
82 | FcPatternBuild (patch by Marcus Meissner). | |
83 | Add consts to variables so as to move arrays into .rodata (patch by | |
84 | Ross Burton). | |
85 | Modify config file to use Greek fonts before Asian fonts with | |
86 | Greek glyphs. (patch by Simos Xenitellis). | |
87 | Use libtool -no-undefined flag on all platforms (patch by Christian | |
88 | Biesinger). | |
89 | ||
90 | 2.3.91 | |
91 | ||
92 | Use libxml2 if requested or if expat not available. (Mathias Hasselmann) | |
93 | Fix multi-arch cache files: compute the position for the | |
94 | block to be added using info from OrigFile, not NewFile. (plam) | |
95 | Cast results of sizeof() to unsigned int to get rid of | |
96 | warnings on x86_64 (reported by Matthias Clasen). | |
97 | Use FcAtomic to rewrite cache files; don't unlink the fonts.cache-2 | |
98 | file even if there's no data to write; just write an empty cache file. | |
99 | (Reported by Lubos Lunak) | |
100 | Allocate room for the subdirectory names in each directory cache. | |
101 | (Reported by James Cloos) | |
102 | ||
103 | 2.3.90 | |
104 | ||
105 | Development release of mmap patch: load pattern information | |
106 | directly from cache files. (Patrick Lam) | |
107 | ||
108 | 2.3.2 | |

127 | ||
128 | Create prototype /etc/fonts/conf.d directory and populate it with a few | |
129 | sample files. These samples are unused as the file names don't start with | |
130 | numbers. | |
131 | ||

152 | Add synthetic emboldening configuration changes (Jakub Pavelek) | |
153 | ||
154 | Change FcFontSetSort to ignore language after fonts with the requested | |
155 | languages have been found. (Owen Taylor) | |
156 | ||
157 | Add some RedHat font configuration changes (Owen Tayler). | |

162 | Remove Han characters from Korean orthography (Tor Andersson) | |
163 | ||
164 | 2.2.97 | |
165 | ||
166 | Fc-cache sleeps before exiting to ensure filesystem timestamps are well | |
167 | ordered. | |
168 | ||
169 | Added Punjai orthography. | |
170 | ||
171 | The timestamp in fonts.conf is gone now. Too many problems. | |
172 | ||
173 | The default font path includes all of the X fonts; use selectfont/rejectfont | |
174 | to eliminate bitmaps, as shown in the sample local.conf file. | |
175 | ||
176 | <include> configuration elements may now reference a directory. Files | |
177 | in that directory matching [0-9]* are loaded in UTF-8 collating sequence order. | |
178 | ||
179 | <selectfont> configuration added to control which fonts are used. | |
180 | ||
181 | fontformat font pattern elements built from the FT_Get_X11_Font_Format | |
182 | function in newer versions of FreeType. | |
183 | ||
184 | 'capability' list constructed from gsub/gpos and silf values in TrueType | |
185 | files. | |
186 | ||
187 | Multi-lingual names (style, family, fullname) extracted and stored with | |
188 | parallel <foo>lang properties marking language. | |
189 | ||
190 | 2.2.96 | |
191 | ||
192 | Fix FcConfigUpToDate to actually check all font directories and eliminate | |
193 | a typo which completely prevented it from working (Lubos Lunak | |
194 | <l.lunak@suse.cz>) | |
195 | ||
196 | Remove comma at end of FcResult enum definition for picky compilers. | |
197 | ||
198 | 2.2.95 | |
199 | ||
200 | Add FcResultOutOfMemory so FcFontSetMatch can return accurate error. | |
201 | ||
202 | Replace MIN/MAX/ABS macros which happened to be in old FreeType releases | |
203 | with FC_MIN/FC_MAX/FC_ABS macros owned by fontconfig. | |
204 | ||
205 | 2.2.94 | |
206 | ||
207 | The 2.2.93 release was prepared with a broken libtool which created | |
208 | the shared library without the '.so' in the file names. | |
209 | ||
210 | 2.2.93 | |
211 | ||
212 | This is the third prerelease of fontconfig 2.3. Significant changes from | |
213 | 2.2.92 are: | |
214 | ||
215 | o Use new FreeType #include syntax | |
216 | o use y_ppem field instead of 'height' in bitmap sizes rec - | |
217 | FreeType changed the semantics. Still uses height for | |
218 | older versions of FreeType | |
219 | o Don't construct program manuals unless docbook is available | |
220 | ||
221 | 2.2.92 | |
222 | ||
223 | o make distcheck work | |
224 | ||
225 | 2.2.91 | |
226 | ||
227 | o Switch to SGML manuals | |
228 | o Add FC_DUAL width spacing value | |
229 | o Add FcFini to close out fontconfig and release all memory | |
230 | ||
231 | 2.2 | |
232 | ||
233 | This is the third public release of fontconfig, a font configuration and | |
234 | customization library. Fontconfig is designed to locate fonts within the | |
235 | system and select them according to requirements specified by applications. | |
236 | ||
237 | Fontconfig is not a rasterization library, nor does it impose a particular | |
238 | rasterization library on the application. The X-specific library | |
239 | 'Xft' uses fontconfig along with freetype to specify and rasterize fonts. | |
