  67 Fc-cache sleeps before exiting to ensure filesystem timestamps are well

  69
  70 Added Punjai orthography.
  71
  72 The timestamp in fonts.conf is gone now.  Too many problems.
  73
  74 The default font path includes all of the X fonts; use selectfont/rejectfont
  75 to eliminate bitmaps, as shown in the sample local.conf file.
  76
  77 <include> configuration elements may now reference a directory.  Files
  78 in that directory matching [0-9]* are loaded in UTF-8 collating sequence order.
  79
  80 <selectfont> configuration added to control which fonts are used.
  81
  82 fontformat font pattern elements built from the FT_Get_X11_Font_Format
  83 function in newer versions of FreeType.

  86 files.

  88 Multi-lingual names (style, family, fullname) extracted and stored with
  89 parallel <foo>lang properties marking language.

  91 2.2.96
  92
  93 Fix FcConfigUpToDate to actually check all font directories and eliminate
  94 a typo which completely prevented it from working (Lubos Lunak
  95 <l.lunak@suse.cz>)
  96
  97 Remove comma at end of FcResult enum definition for picky compilers.
  98
  99 2.2.95
 100
 101 Add FcResultOutOfMemory so FcFontSetMatch can return accurate error.
 102
 103 Replace MIN/MAX/ABS macros which happened to be in old FreeType releases
 104 with FC_MIN/FC_MAX/FC_ABS macros owned by fontconfig.
 105
 106 2.2.94
 107
 108 The 2.2.93 release was prepared with a broken libtool which created
 109 the shared library without the '.so' in the file names.
 110
 111 2.2.93
 112
 113 This is the third prerelease of fontconfig 2.3.  Significant changes from
 114 2.2.92 are:
 115
 116  o      Use new FreeType #include syntax
 117  o      use y_ppem field instead of 'height' in bitmap sizes rec -
 118         FreeType changed the semantics.  Still uses height for
 119         older versions of FreeType
 120  o      Don't construct program manuals unless docbook is available
 121
 122 2.2.92
 123
 124  o      make distcheck work
 125
 126 2.2.91
 127
 128  o      Switch to SGML manuals
 129  o      Add FC_DUAL width spacing value
 130  o      Add FcFini to close out fontconfig and release all memory
 131
 132 2.2
 133
 134 This is the third public release of fontconfig, a font configuration and
 135 customization library.  Fontconfig is designed to locate fonts within the
 136 system and select them according to requirements specified by applications.
 137
 138 Fontconfig is not a rasterization library, nor does it impose a particular
 139 rasterization library on the application.  The X-specific library
 140 'Xft' uses fontconfig along with freetype to specify and rasterize fonts.
