   6 2.2.98
   7
   8 Share object name strings (Michael Meeks)
   9
  10 Eliminate a couple of codepoints from Russian orthography (John Thacker)
  11
  12 Add synthetic emboldening configuration changes (Jakub Pavelek)
  13
  14 Change FcFontSetSort to ignore language after fonts with the requested
  15 languages have been found. (Owen Taylor)
  16
  17 Add some RedHat font configuration changes (Owen Tayler).
  18
  19 Add full Unicode case folding support to case-ignoring string functions

  21
  22 Remove Han characters from Korean orthography (Tor Andersson)
  23
  24 2.2.97
  25
  26 Fc-cache sleeps before exiting to ensure filesystem timestamps are well
  27 ordered.
  28
  29 Added Punjai orthography.
  30
  31 The timestamp in fonts.conf is gone now.  Too many problems.
  32
  33 The default font path includes all of the X fonts; use selectfont/rejectfont
  34 to eliminate bitmaps, as shown in the sample local.conf file.
  35
  36 <include> configuration elements may now reference a directory.  Files
  37 in that directory matching [0-9]* are loaded in UTF-8 collating sequence order.
  38
  39 <selectfont> configuration added to control which fonts are used.
  40
  41 fontformat font pattern elements built from the FT_Get_X11_Font_Format
  42 function in newer versions of FreeType.
  43
  44 'capability' list constructed from gsub/gpos and silf values in TrueType
  45 files.
  46
  47 Multi-lingual names (style, family, fullname) extracted and stored with
  48 parallel <foo>lang properties marking language.
  49
  50 2.2.96
  51
  52 Fix FcConfigUpToDate to actually check all font directories and eliminate
  53 a typo which completely prevented it from working (Lubos Lunak
  54 <l.lunak@suse.cz>)
  55
  56 Remove comma at end of FcResult enum definition for picky compilers.
  57
  58 2.2.95
  59
  60 Add FcResultOutOfMemory so FcFontSetMatch can return accurate error.
  61
  62 Replace MIN/MAX/ABS macros which happened to be in old FreeType releases
  63 with FC_MIN/FC_MAX/FC_ABS macros owned by fontconfig.
  64
  65 2.2.94
  66
  67 The 2.2.93 release was prepared with a broken libtool which created
  68 the shared library without the '.so' in the file names.
  69
  70 2.2.93
  71
  72 This is the third prerelease of fontconfig 2.3.  Significant changes from
  73 2.2.92 are:
  74
  75  o      Use new FreeType #include syntax
  76  o      use y_ppem field instead of 'height' in bitmap sizes rec -
  77         FreeType changed the semantics.  Still uses height for
  78         older versions of FreeType
  79  o      Don't construct program manuals unless docbook is available
  80
  81 2.2.92
  82
  83  o      make distcheck work
  84
  85 2.2.91
  86
  87  o      Switch to SGML manuals
  88  o      Add FC_DUAL width spacing value
  89  o      Add FcFini to close out fontconfig and release all memory
  90
  91 2.2
  92
  93 This is the third public release of fontconfig, a font configuration and
  94 customization library.  Fontconfig is designed to locate fonts within the
  95 system and select them according to requirements specified by applications.
  96
  97 Fontconfig is not a rasterization library, nor does it impose a particular
  98 rasterization library on the application.  The X-specific library
  99 'Xft' uses fontconfig along with freetype to specify and rasterize fonts.
