File a bug?!?!? behdad yes, I brought it up on fontconfig's mailing list in 2006, mpsuzuki posted a patch, but it has never been committed. http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/fontconfig/2006-August/002364.html also, it seemed there were some intrinsic difficulties for fontconfig to handle multi-strike sfnt ttf.

Can I just dream bitmap fonts will go away ? Otherwise, it would be awesome if one of the 2-3 ways to create Opentype bitmap fonts actually worked - I had tried SFNT TTF/OTF, neither of them works with the current fontconfig (cache file could not be generated).

The only concern is the support to GTK1 applications which reply on the legacy X font settings. Well GTK1 passed in WE_DON'T_CARE land a long time ago. It never even supported UTF-8 in a satisfactory way, IIRC -- Nicolas Mailhot signature.asc Description: Ceci est une partie de message numériquement signée ___ Fedora-fonts-list mailing list Fedora-fonts-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-fonts-list
