[General Issues]
* Font caching Issues: Various font caching issues are fixed in Reader
8.1.2, including the issue of fonts that were configured using
fontconfig not being picked up by the Reader to render documents
(reported by Novell).
* Problem with Dual-screen setup (Xinerama mode).: Issue number 4
listed on the Known Issues page for Reader 8.1.1.
* Document ordering and fullscreen mode: Issue has been fixed in
Reader 8.1.2.
* Font KozGoProVI-Medium.otf is missing in Japanese Reader: This issue
is fixed in Reader 8.1.2.
[Printing Related Issues]
* Incorrect orientation: Issues with printing PDF files containing
portrait and landscape pages have been fixed in Reader
8.1.2. Choosing "Auto Rotate and Center" will now print the pages in
their inherent orientation.
* Red wash on printing with HP CLJ 2605: A workaround for this has
been added in the preferences
($HOME/.adobe/Acrobat/8.0/Preferences/reader_prefs), namely
"brokenCRDs". This value is set to "false" by default and can be
modified to "true" if one faces the red background issue.
* Scaling issues: Problems with -shrink/-expand options in the command
line (Issue #1 listed on the Known Issues page for Reader 8.1.1) as
well as with "Custom" printing in the dialog have been fixed in
Reader 8.1.2.
* Reader does not remember last chosen printer across sessions: Last
chosen printer is now remembered between different sessions of the
Reader in 8.1.2 release.
* Cannot pipe PDF as input to acroread: PDF contents can be read from
stdin when using the -toPostScript option.
* Hardcoding of printer command: Earlier the printer command was
hardcoded in the reader binary. This has been fixed in Reader 8.1.2
to pick up the command from the PATH environment variable.

GNOME 2.20 release notes can be found at
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.20/notes/en/ . Beyond that, this update
includes the new GIMP 2.4 (courtesy of ahze).
The GNOME 2.20 update also includes a huge change in the FreeBSD GNOME
hierarchy. We are now using the more standard DATADIR of ${PREFIX}/share
rather than ${PREFIX}/share/gnome. The result is that fewer patches and
hacks are needed to port GNOME components to FreeBSD. This will mean some
user changes may be required, so be sure to read /usr/ports/UPDATING for
more details.
This release and the things we accomplished in it would not have been
possible without mezz's crazy idea to collapse DATADIR, and his persistence
to make it happen successfully. Ahze and pav also deserve thanks for
their work on porting modules and testing the whole ball of wax on
pointyhat (respectively).
The FreeBSD GNOME team would also like to thank our various testers and
contributors:

QT_COMPONENTS can now be depended on at runtime or buildtime only by
specifiying them as <component>_build or <component>_run, respectively.
Specifying <component> without any suffix will depend on the component
at both build- and runtime just like before.
- Convert Qt core ports to use the new dependency switches.
- Add a patch to corelib to fix Qt4 on ARM, submitted by:

Changes include:
- Set WITH_GHOSTSCRIPT_GNU forcibly.
- Use PostScript virtual fonts to handle CJK CID/TT-CID emulated fonts.
CIDFnmap still works but when a font is both in Resource/Font or
Resource/CIDFont and in CIDFnmap, the former entry will be used.
For the actual font mapping, see files in Resource/CIDFont/*.
So, note that you need to remove (or rename) the virtual font if you use
CIDFnmap for the moment. This is still a transitional measure and
more consistent font management thoughout the ports collection should
be added later.
This is just an internal structural change; default font mapping has
not been changed.
- Add Chinese font support to print/gsfonts (but no dependency added).
qt33 to ($binary)-qt4 and adjust dependencies accordingly. This
avoids conflicts once X11BASE has been changed to /usr/local and
incidentally makes the naming scheme of the qt4 executables in ports
equal to that of the Fedora Core and Debian packages.
