8Fc-cache sleeps before exiting to ensure filesystem timestamps are well
9ordered.

11Added Punjai orthography.
12
13The timestamp in fonts.conf is gone now. Too many problems.
14
15The default font path includes all of the X fonts; use selectfont/rejectfont
16to eliminate bitmaps, as shown in the sample local.conf file.
17
18<include> configuration elements may now reference a directory. Files
19in that directory matching [0-9]* are loaded in UTF-8 collating sequence order.
20
21<selectfont> configuration added to control which fonts are used.
22
23fontformat font pattern elements built from the FT_Get_X11_Font_Format
24function in newer versions of FreeType.
25
26'capability' list constructed from gsub/gpos and silf values in TrueType
27files.
28
29Multi-lingual names (style, family, fullname) extracted and stored with
30parallel <foo>lang properties marking language.

34Fix FcConfigUpToDate to actually check all font directories and eliminate
35a typo which completely prevented it from working (Lubos Lunak
36<l.lunak@suse.cz>)

43
44Replace MIN/MAX/ABS macros which happened to be in old FreeType releases
45with FC_MIN/FC_MAX/FC_ABS macros owned by fontconfig.

54This is the third prerelease of fontconfig 2.3. Significant changes from
552.2.92 are:
56
57 o Use new FreeType #include syntax
58 o use y_ppem field instead of 'height' in bitmap sizes rec -
59 FreeType changed the semantics. Still uses height for
60 older versions of FreeType
61 o Don't construct program manuals unless docbook is available

632.2.92
64
65 o make distcheck work
66
672.2.91
68
69 o Switch to SGML manuals
70 o Add FC_DUAL width spacing value
71 o Add FcFini to close out fontconfig and release all memory

76customization library. Fontconfig is designed to locate fonts within the
77system and select them according to requirements specified by applications.
78
79Fontconfig is not a rasterization library, nor does it impose a particular
80rasterization library on the application. The X-specific library
81'Xft' uses fontconfig along with freetype to specify and rasterize fonts.
