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.
