* Deleting a glyph class within a kerning by classes object caused a crash
* Added some support for palm bitmap fonts
* Replace with reference only replaced the first instance.
* The Options dlg behaved oddly with respect to Apple & OpenType modes
* When given a glyph with conflicting hints for which the first contour
contained no hints, then in type2 output the glyph was drawn at a strange
offset from its correct position.
* When generating an opentype font from a script, and specifying flags,
the round coordinates flag was ignored
* When generating a font from a script using the default flag setting,
we would always generate afm/tfm/pfm files
* KANOU pointed out that the stroked font import glyph command only worked
if multilayer set.
* Added a preview bitmap to eps files.
* In a bitmap only font the font metrics menu items behaved in unexpected ways
(as if they referred to a postscript font rather than the bitmap fonts)
* Various fixes to make importing stroked eps files into stroked fonts work
better.
* KANOU requests a preference item to turn off use of freetype in font view.
* Fix more rounding errors in remove overlap.
* Fix some problems in the routine which finds roots of an arbetrary quartic.
* The remove bump option of simplify could screw up memory.
* Remove overlap got unhappy about control points which caused a very tiny
overlap between adjacent splines
* Redo from the fontview usually caused a crash.
* KANOU provides a MakeLine scripting command
* If TYPE3 (multilayer) was not enabled, there was a flow of control through
a function which did not return anything.
* Recovery files did not contain multilayer marks which lead to strange
behaviour and crashes
* Converting a font to multilayer caused a crash if there were outline glyph
windows open.
* Make the encoding for scripts be utf8 consistently
* Allow the scripting Export command to take a format spec
* Add support for reals to the scripting language
* NearlyHv{Cps,Lines} scripting commands erroneously complained about
too many args
* ff had a bug when outputting otf contextual ligatures
* Fix various crashes and infinite loops involved in parsing bad font files.
* ff had problems with user defined encodings.
* Made ff work if the psuedo-type "real" was defined to be a double.
* the string += concattonation operator in scripting screwed up memory
* Problems with -c <arg> syntax
* The font type detector could fail to notice an svg file as such
if it began with a byte order character.
* Ord didn't do proper type checking on its second argument
* Fix manuals in section 3 so they get built and installed.
* Rework GSUB/GPOS script parsing to avoid crashing when presented
with broken fonts.
* Add a few more example configuration files to /etc/fonts/conf.d
from the debian packaging.
Put kochi-ttf back for now. Although this could be obsoleted by
Sazanami font, some other packages explicitly / implicitly depend
on kochi-ttf yet.
And, the license problem was gone long ago. No reason to hurry
now.
Fix memory leak of patterns rejected by configuration (#2518)
Create prototype $PREFIX/etc/fontconfig/conf.d directory and populate
it with a few sample files. These samples are unused as the file
names don't start with numbers.
Update documentation.
Changes:
* Render implementation fixes
* Updated x86emu and resynced with upstream at Scitech
* Updated SiS driver
* Updated Nvidia driver (opensource version)
* Render acceleration for ATI's R100 and R200-series cards
* Substantial speedups in the software implementation of the render
extensions when compiled with gcc 3.4 on the i386 architecture.
* Infrastructure for rotation support in drivers
* New Trapezoid specification for the Render extension
o Respecify Render to include only 'normal' traps
o Allow backward compatibility but internally covert to new format
* Software mouse cursor is now based on the Damage extension
* A new keyboard driver is enabled by default. The old driver is
disabled unless explicitly compiled in by defining the macro
|USE_DEPRECATED_KEYBOARD_DRIVER|.
* All extensions (except Xserver-specific extensions "DMX" and
"XpExtension")can now be enabled/disabled from the configuration
file and from the command line.
* Mac OS X updates:
o Support dynamic screen configuration changes in rootless mode
o Added option to always use Mac command key equivalents
o Interpret scroll wheel mouse events correctly when shift is
held down
o Added trivial Xinput support
o Fixed launch of X clients from Finder with a space in their path
o Fixed some GLX rendering problems on Mac OS X 10.2 and earlier
* Updated xterm version
Fontconfig 2.2.99 contains a few minor bug fixes plus the addition of
polite type warnings for the config file. This latter change could use a
bit of exposure to existing config files to see if it whines about
legitimate configurations.
* Use freetype's FT_Outline_Get_Bitmap to make freetype rasterize from our internal data structures. Use freetype by default for the fontview and metricsview (except in some cases).
* The bitmap dlg didn't work for multilayered fonts when told to use freetype to rasterize.
* If we had a contour nested inside another, and did an Overlap Exclude with the nested contour selected, then that contour was not excluded.
* The []Correct Direction check box when importing PostScript, didn't do anything. (or rather it did, but got overrulled later)
* In bitmap only fonts, bitmaps created without moving the width line would get lost.
* Added a scripting command "SelectByColor"
* Don't apply transformations to glyphs which aren't worth outputting
* Moving control points with the get point info command had problems in quadratic splines.
* When adding type42 support I broke multiple master support.
* Werner provided a patch to add a trailing newline to my type1 fonts.
* Support for PaintType==2 and stroked fonts.
* Various problems with the clustering command
* Oops, somehow a patch reverted and things didn't work on systems without iconv
* worked on a couple of other configuration problems for the mac
* Some people install libraries without headers. Be prepared.
* Uniscribe (MS unicode text layout routines) may ignore either the GPOS or the GSUB table depending on the script, and may even refuse to use the font at all if it doesn't have the right stuff in GPOS/GSUB. A Hebrew font must have both a GPOS and a GSUB. If it doesn't the font is not used. A latin font need not have either, but if it doesn't have GSUB then GPOS won't be used.
* CapsLock now makes the arrow keys scroll in the outline view
* We lost count of hints when generating type2 fonts in glyphs with references
to something containing hints which did not overlap. If we were unlucky,
<new-cnt+7>/8 was different than <real-cnt+7>/8 and we ended up with garbage
in the charstring.
* Add a TeX table to contain TeX metrics.
* TFM output was wrong. the TFtoPL doc says "reencoding with original encoding
could create a glyph table one too small resulting in writing/reading garbage
and an eventual crash.
* KANOU fixed a couple of problems in reading glyph names from bdf fonts.
* KANOU needed to disambiguate between "Point" a unit of measurement and
"Point" a geometric object.
python*-pth packages into meta-packages which will install the non-pth
packages. Bump PKGREVISIONs on the non-pth versions to propagate the
thread change, but leave the *-pth versions untouched to not affect
existing installations.
Sync all PYTHON_VERSIONS_AFFECTED lines in package Makefiles.

changes:
2.2.97
Fc-cache sleeps before exiting to ensure filesystem timestamps are well
ordered.
Added Punjai orthography.
The timestamp in fonts.conf is gone now. Too many problems.
The default font path includes all of the X fonts; use selectfont/rejectfont
to eliminate bitmaps, as shown in the sample local.conf file.
<include> configuration elements may now reference a directory. Files
in that directory matching [0-9]* are loaded in UTF-8 collating sequence order.
<selectfont> configuration added to control which fonts are used.
fontformat font pattern elements built from the FT_Get_X11_Font_Format
function in newer versions of FreeType.
'capability' list constructed from gsub/gpos and silf values in TrueType
files.
Multi-lingual names (style, family, fullname) extracted and stored with
parallel <foo>lang properties marking language.
2.2.98
Share object name strings (Michael Meeks)
Eliminate a couple of codepoints from Russian orthography (John Thacker)
Add synthetic emboldening configuration changes (Jakub Pavelek)
Change FcFontSetSort to ignore language after fonts with the requested
languages have been found. (Owen Taylor)
Add some RedHat font configuration changes (Owen Tayler).
Add full Unicode case folding support to case-ignoring string functions
(Keith Packard)
Remove Han characters from Korean orthography (Tor Andersson)
* Ah, windows pfm files expect the metrics to be output in win latin encoding
order, not in the encoding defined by the pfb file. (Actually there are other
posibilities for encoding, but as none is documented, I must ignore them).
* ReplaceWithReference broke at some point
* Add an argument-pair to the ReplaceWithReference() scripting command to allow
the user to specify the amount of error that will be accepted.
* When generating a Type1 font, if a glyph had a single reference to a glyph not
in adobe encoding, and that glyph itself had a single reference (in adobe enc)
and some splines, then ff would make a reference to the ref in adobe enc and
ignore the splines.
* Upgrade to Adobe-Japan1-6
* Various fixes to svg output
* Ghost hints could get outside a glyphs bounding box in a type2 font.
* The generated truetype unique id string had an off by one error in the month
* Add support for dashed lines in multilayered mode
* In Full Page Glyph printing, the glyph was offset slightly from where it
should have been.
* Pasting a reference into a multi-layered font produced a very odd layer
* ff didn't update the metrics view if the user pasted the selection with the
middle mouse button.
* if a character were not in the current encoding then ff would not display it
in the metrics view (even if it were in the font)
* Make the behavior of control points at the ends of open paths more reasonable
* The Point->Curve command did not adust control points correctly
* The View->Display Substitutions had numerous problems
* Fix several problems from unicode unification of accents. Many characters
which are said to be based on cedilla actually use a comma, other characters
said to be carons also use comma. Make the n-with-apostrophe character be
treated as an accented letter.
* Werner points out that straight lines should generally not be simplified (as
they will no longer be straight afterwards). Add this knowledge to the
simplify command.
they do not get generated as side effect of the installation of other
packages and break PLISTs. With help from salo to get it right, thanks.
Bump PKGREVISION.
EC PostScript Type1 fonts with TFMs for TeX
These are PostScript Type1 renderings and TFMs of the EC variant of
the standard TeX CMR font family. These fonts include characters with
European accents.
GNU LilyPond depends on this.
