   2         Font configuration and customization library
   3                       Version 2.2.97
   4                         2004-12-04
   5
   6 2.2.97
   7
   8 Fc-cache sleeps before exiting to ensure filesystem timestamps are well
   9 ordered.
  10
  11 Added Punjai orthography.
  12
  13 The timestamp in fonts.conf is gone now.  Too many problems.
  14
  15 The default font path includes all of the X fonts; use selectfont/rejectfont
  16 to eliminate bitmaps, as shown in the sample local.conf file.
  17
  18 <include> configuration elements may now reference a directory.  Files
  19 in 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
  23 fontformat font pattern elements built from the FT_Get_X11_Font_Format
  24 function in newer versions of FreeType.
  25
  26 'capability' list constructed from gsub/gpos and silf values in TrueType
  27 files.
  28
  29 Multi-lingual names (style, family, fullname) extracted and stored with
  30 parallel <foo>lang properties marking language.
  31
  32 2.2.96
  33
  34 Fix FcConfigUpToDate to actually check all font directories and eliminate
  35 a typo which completely prevented it from working (Lubos Lunak
  36 <l.lunak@suse.cz>)
  37
  38 Remove comma at end of FcResult enum definition for picky compilers.
  39
  40 2.2.95
  41
  42 Add FcResultOutOfMemory so FcFontSetMatch can return accurate error.
  43
  44 Replace MIN/MAX/ABS macros which happened to be in old FreeType releases
  45 with FC_MIN/FC_MAX/FC_ABS macros owned by fontconfig.
  46
  47 2.2.94
  48
  49 The 2.2.93 release was prepared with a broken libtool which created
  50 the shared library without the '.so' in the file names.
  51
  52 2.2.93
  53
  54 This is the third prerelease of fontconfig 2.3.  Significant changes from
  55 2.2.92 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
  62
  63 2.2.92
  64
  65  o      make distcheck work
  66
  67 2.2.91
  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
  72
  73 2.2
  74
  75 This is the third public release of fontconfig, a font configuration and
  76 customization library.  Fontconfig is designed to locate fonts within the
  77 system and select them according to requirements specified by applications.
  78
  79 Fontconfig is not a rasterization library, nor does it impose a particular
  80 rasterization library on the application.  The X-specific library
  81 'Xft' uses fontconfig along with freetype to specify and rasterize fonts.
