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.
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)

* src/fccfg.c: (FcConfigUptoDate):
However FcConfigUptoDate() doesn't seem to work. See the attached
patch. First there's an obvious misplaced parenthesis making it
return always false, and second, even this call fails to detect font
changes (e.g. adding a new font to
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype). The patch should fix that as
well. The problem seems to be triggered by my fonts.conf specifying
only /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts , and therefore config->configDirs
doesn't include subdirs, unlike config->fontDirs.

* fontconfig/fontconfig.h:
Remove comma at end of FcResult enum definition.
2004-05-29 Keith Packard <keithp@keithp.com>
* INSTALL:
Add steps to md5sum release
in particular this fixes a problem where no font matches can be found
by gtk2 apps. This should fix the problem where even the gtk-demo
program fails run.
Lots more documentation installed, fontconfig-config replaced
with pkgconfig file.

* Run fc-cache from source tree to try and resolve LFS install issues
* Fix fontconfig-user.html generation (was getting smashed)
* Debian build files are in CVS now
* Fixes to build on Windows
* Compute monospacing by looking at glyphs instead of trusting font

Fontconfig is a library for configuring and customizing font access.
Fontconfig can:
* 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.
Fontconfig does not:
* render the fonts themselves (this is left to FreeType or other
rendering mechanisms).
* depend on the X Window System in any fashion, so that printer only
applications do not have such dependencies.
