Add URW fonts as aliases for +all of the PostScript fonts. (reported by Miguel Rodriguez). Fix a +number of Coverity defects (Frederic Crozat). Speed up FcFontSort +(fix suggested by Kenichi Handa). Fix error with charsets. Survive +missing docbook2pdf. Compile on HP-UX, AIX, SGI and Windows (Cygwin, +MinGW). Fix intel compiler warnings. Fix multiarch support (don't +destroy multiarch files!) Require pkg-config. (Thanks Behdad; better +solution wanted for libxml2 detection!) Fix typos in orth files and +add orth for Lingala (reported by Denis Jacquerye). Remove debian/ +directory. Add a configuration file that disables hinting for the +Lohit Gujarati font (since the hinting distorts some glyphs quite +badly). Sort directory entries while scanning them from disk; +prevents Heisenbugs due to file ordering in a directory (due to Egmont +Koblinger). Fix Wine's problem with finding fonts. (Reported by +Bernhard Rosenkraenzer.) Fix the issues with GNU libiconv vs. libc +iconv (which especially appear on Solarii); patch by Behdad Esfahbod, +approach suggested by Tim Mooney. + +2.3.94 + +fc-cat can take directories as input and creates old-style fonts.cache +listings. +fc-cache takes -r --really-force which blows away all old caches and +regenerates. +Robustness fixes, integer overflow fixes (notably to cache handling +code), toast broken global cache files. +Change binary format to make it compatible with static langset +information (thanks to Takashi Iwai). +Open hashed caches before fonts.cache-2 (Takashi Iwai). +Fix FcFontSetMatch's algorithm, which used to unjustly kill fonts for +not declaring certain elements (Takashi Iwai). +Fix matching bug when multiple elements match; don't use +the sum of all scores, but the best score (James Su). +Make fc-lang more friendly to Windows systems. +Remove archaic chars from Georgian charset; add Euro character to +charsets for European languages. +Fix treatment of broken PCF fonts that don't declare family names. +Pass O_BINARY to open if appropriate (reported by Doodle). +Normalize font directories to the form in which they appear in +config files. +Add a record of the cached directory to the cache file. +Perf optimizations (Dirk Mueller; some reported by Michael Meeks.) +Don't loop infinitely on recursive symlinks. +Make 'make distcheck' work with automake 1.6.3. +Replace 'stamp' target with mkinstalldirs. +Don't stop scanning if a directory in fonts.conf doesn't exist, +because subsequent directories might exist. +Put directory names into global cache (reported by Ronny V. Vindenes). +Treat zh-hk fonts differently from zh-tw fonts. This patch may cause +fontconfig to treat A-X fonts differently from A-Y fonts; please mail +the fontconfig list if this causes any problems. +Fix for unaligned memory accesses (Andreas Schwab). +Fix treatment of cache directory as read from cache file; don't use +string equality to determine if we have the right file, use inode +equality. +Properly skip past dir caches that contain zero fonts, as occurs +in global caches (reported by Mike Fabian). +Print out full pathname in fc-match -v (reported by Frederic Crozat). +Fix bug where fc-match crashes when given __DUMMY__ property to +match on. + +2.3.93 + +Create cache files in /var/cache/fontconfig with hashed filenames, if +possible, for added FHS compliance. +Make fc-cat read both per-directory and global cache files. +Add config file for Persian fonts from Sharif FarsiWeb, Inc. +Major performance improvements by Dirk Mueller, Stephen Kulow, and Michael Matz at SuSE: in particular, speed up FcFontSetMatch, and inline many functions. +Fix treatment of globs in config files, broken since 2.3.2 and discovered by Mathias Clasen. +Don't use freetype internal headers (patch by Matthias Clasen). +Further space improvements: create langsets statically, so that they can live in .rodata. +Properly align mmapped data structures to make e.g. ia64 happy. +Bug fixes. + +2.3.92 + +Fix corrupted caches bugs from 2.3.91 (reported by Mike Fabian). +Store only basename in the cache, reconstitute on demand +(reported by James Cloos). +Change the rule for artificial emboldening in fonts.conf.in. This +enables the support for artificial emboldening included in cairo +(patch by Zhe Su). +Add FC_EMBEDDED_BITMAP object type to tell Xft/Cairo whether +to load embedded bitmaps or not (patch by Jinghua Luo). +Fix GCC4 warnings (some by Behdad Esfahbod). +Support localized font family and style names; this has been reported +to break old apps like xfd, but modern (gtk+/qt/mozilla) apps work +fine (patch by Zhe Su). +Prevent fc-list from escaping strings when printing them (reported by +Matthias Clasen). +Add valist sentinel markup for FcObjectSetBuild and +FcPatternBuild (patch by Marcus Meissner). +Add consts to variables so as to move arrays into .rodata (patch by +Ross Burton). +Modify config file to use Greek fonts before Asian fonts with +Greek glyphs. (patch by Simos Xenitellis). +Use libtool -no-undefined flag on all platforms (patch by Christian +Biesinger). + +2.3.91 + +Use libxml2 if requested or if expat not available. (Mathias Hasselmann) +Fix multi-arch cache files: compute the position for the +block to be added using info from OrigFile, not NewFile. (plam) +Cast results of sizeof() to unsigned int to get rid of +warnings on x86_64 (reported by Matthias Clasen). +Use FcAtomic to rewrite cache files; don't unlink the fonts.cache-2 +file even if there's no data to write; just write an empty cache file. +(Reported by Lubos Lunak) +Allocate room for the subdirectory names in each directory cache. +(Reported by James Cloos) + +2.3.90 + +Development release of mmap patch: load pattern information +directly from cache files. (Patrick Lam) + +2.3.2 + +Patch memory leaks in using iconv. (Reported by Chris Capoccia) +Patch memory leaks in fc-cache. (Reported by Chris Capoccia) +Fetch bitmap glyphs to get widths during font evaluation. (keithp) +Share strings through FcObjectStaticName (Ross Burton) +Windows build updates (Tor Lillqvist) + +2.3.1 + +Be more careful about broken GSUB/GPOS tables (Manish Singh) +Include debian packaging stuff in CVS (Josselin Mouette) +Add more conf.d examples (Keith Packard) +Make manuals build again (Keith Packard) +Johap -> Johab (Funda Wang) + +2.3.0 + +Fix memory leak of patterns rejected by configuration (#2518) + +Create prototype /etc/fonts/conf.d directory and populate it with a few +sample files. These samples are unused as the file names don't start with +numbers. + +Update documentation. + +2.2.99 + +Verify cache for FC_FILE and FC_FAMILY in every entry (#2219) + +Update blanks list from recent Unicode docs (#86) + +Various small build fixes (#280, #2278, + +Documentation fixes (#2085, #2284, #2285) + +Add polite typechecking to config file loader (#229) 2.2.98
