This update updates Glib20 to 2.36 and Gtk+ 3.8 * The gio-fam-backend port that used gamin for the GFileMonitor API is gone. It is replaced by a GIO kqueue implementation developed as part of a NetBSD GSoC 2011 project by Dimitry Matveev. * Fix a bug in the glib20 Makefile so it includes -lintl in the glib-2.0 pkgconfig file [1]. This broke static linking and newer binutils. * Add introspection USE_GNOME component which sets GI_SCANNER_DISABLE_CACHE to prevent creation of / root/.cache dir. Defaults to build & run depend, but :build and :run switches available. * New x11-toolkits/pangox-compat port and companion USE_GNOME component for pangox support which was removed from the pango port. Add it to ports still using pangox API. Exp-run by: bapt@ PR: ports/178958 [1] Submitted by: emaste@ [1]

Fontconfig does the following:
|
|
|
|
* discover new fonts when installed automatically, removing a common source
|
|
of configuration problems.
|
|
* perform font name substitution, so that appropriate alternative fonts can
|
|
be selected if fonts are missing.
|
|
* identify the set of fonts required to completely cover a set of languages.
|
|
* have GUI configuration tools built as it uses an XML-based configuration
|
|
file (though with autodiscovery, we believe this need is minimized).
|
|
* efficiently and quickly find the fonts you need among the set of fonts
|
|
you have installed, even if you have installed thousands of fonts, while
|
|
minimzing memory usage.
|
|
* be used in concert with the X Render Extension and FreeType to implement
|
|
high quality, anti-aliased and subpixel rendered text on a display.
