Pass down CC_FOR_BUILD when doing cross-compilation.
A script for how to do the original fc-arch dance in a cross-compile
safe way was sent to the authors as well as a question why this was
done. No reply received so far.
Bump revision. Note that you might want to clean /var/cache/fontconfig
after installing this.
Supported-by: Google SoC 2007.
* Add support for Adobe's feature file syntax.
* Add a popup menu to the lookups pane of font info.
* Change the name of File->Merge Kern Info to File->Merge Feature Info
* Remove the code to produce the old, broken, 'size' feature.
* An earlier patch, designed to make the tabset work in the charview even if the user changed the name, didn't work.
* Bug in the selection iterator.
* Accept contour += (1,2) rather than forcing people to say contour += fontforge.point(1,2)
* Crash when mistyping a glyph name in Glyph Info possub panes. Probably in the equivalent lookup dlgs too.
* If a glyph contained two copies of another glyph, and one of those copies was off by enough that ff didn't recognize it, the depending on how the contours were ordered, ff might fail to recognize the first glyph too, even though it did match.
* Add iterators to contours and layers. Python users seem to expect them even when they aren't documented to exist.
* layer += contour didn't work in python. I was examining a bit through the wrong data type.
* Provide a mechanism for copying lookup information from one glyph to another. (Edit->Copy Lookup Data)
* Loading kerning info from a mac 'FOND' resource was broken by the lookup change.
* Python scripting command font.createChar didn't. Partial patch from Max Rabkin.
* Adding a kerning pair from the metrics view would often add two or three pairs with the same character combination and different values.
* Another remove overlap bug. Introduced recently.
* Reinstate Apply Substitutions scripting command.
* Add some dutch styles.
* Make yet another attempt to correct for rounding errors when loading a postscript font.
* Add a way to get a font's filename to python.
* Werner points out that in scripting I use "break" in an example. It isn't documented to work and I don't implement it but I do show it. Oops. Ok, make it work.
* Display substitutions was broken.
* When generating default names for subtables, it is confusing to name them the same as the lookup.
* Change to using USC4 from UCS2 internally.
* Provide default names for lookups once the user sets the feature.
* Disambiguate some strings for the polish translation
* Revert glyph should not work for old sfd files.

Bump version number. (No changes, but source tarball will
use recent util macros.)
Should fix PR 36052.
Remove the ansi-1251 encoding, it's called microsoft-cp1251.
Simplify some encodings to avoid stating the obvious.
Limit UNDEFINE line to en encoding's declared SIZE (bug 1248).
This is not needed with libfontenc (used by the X server and mkfontscale),
which will ignore out-of-range entries, but apparently caused ttmkfdir to
crash. Thanks to Donnie Berkholtz.
The web site has no change log so I don't have a list of changes but the
development seems to have moved and the version we had was getting pretty
old. Some packages (e.g.Lilypond) won't even attempt to build under the
old version.

no need to set USE_X11BASE here now.

Fixes PR 35265, although I did not use the patch provided therein.

Do not clean cache files for different architectures

"fixed" PCF font.
Patches remove the reference to bdftruncate (never used) and mkfontscale
(bitmap fonts only). Perl is not needed any longer as site effect and
should have never been checked for in first place.
This are the standard X11 cursors. Package is modified not to use
mkfontscale as it doesn't deal with scalable fonts. configure.ac
patch is included for easier upstream merging.
The mkcfm tool creates summaries of font metric files in CID font
directories. Those summaries speed up the CID rasterizer as it
doesn't have to read the usually large font metric files on access
to compute them.
The bdftopcf tool converts X fonts from Bitmap Distribution Format
to Portable Compiled Format.
Fonts in the Portable Compiled Format can be read by any architecture,
although the file is structured to allow one particular
architecture to read them directly without reformatting. This
allows fast reading on the appropriate machine, but the files
are still portable (but read more slowly) on other machines.
The package provides the X.org font encoding files, such as
adobe-dingbats.enc.gz, ibm-cp866.enc, jisx0212.1990-0.enc.gz,
and others. This is from the modular X.org project.

* Fix a type error on control file.
* Change to The Artistic License.
* Remove the prefix Eun- from the font names.
* Update Bandal.ttf and Bangwool.ttf.
* Fix width of some chars on EunBandal.ttf.
This fixes the build on a couple of systems (m68k and mipsel), and
re-implements a function that was broken by the cache file rework that
is needed for lilypond.
as tight as possible. Files we don't handle shouldn't be skipped.
- fonts.alias is not created automatically, so don't remove it.
- create fonts.encoding with mkfontdir using -e X11_ENCODINGSDIR.
On platforms not following the X11R6 loayout this might need to
be overriden.
- Fix type1inst calls.
- Modify packages which installed fonts.alias before to actually
include it in the PLIST and bump the revisions accordingly.
- Modify xorg-fonts* packages to use FONTS_DIRS.* to build indices
at run time.

* Update my opentype scripts list (in particular include music).
* Due to a typo, ff thought pretty much everything outside unicode BMP was in
the hebrew script.
* Add a new command to the point menu which allows you to specify a spline and
one coordinate (either X or Y) on that spline. FF will calculate the other
coordinate and add a point there.

part of a set of anchor classes. FF crashed.

Fontconfig version 2.4 is API and ABI compatible with the 2.3
release, although some significant internal restructuring has
occurred.
Major changes from the 2.3 series:
* Shared mmap'ed cache files. All font cache files are mapped
read-only and shared across multiple processes. Startup
performance and memory footprint of the library have, as a
result, been significantly improved.
* Configuration split into multiple files. While 2.3 provided
the ability to incorporate additional configuration files from
a directory, it didn't use them extensively. The new configuration
structure places most of the configuration into separate files
and provides conventions for naming them that are designed to
permit user and distribution customization of the library
without needing to edit the master config file.
* Eliminate internal symbols from shared library symbol table.
The shared library now exports precisely the list of symbols
present in the public header files. Use of private symbols,
always unsupported, will now result in failure to link and run.
Thanks to all who have made this release possible, especially
Patrick Lam who built the shared cache file code and performed most
of the maintenance over the last year.
