#2134: Fontconfig-2.4.1 ----------------------------------------+----------------------------------- Reporter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Owner: [email protected] Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 6.2 Component: BOOK | Version: SVN Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | ----------------------------------------+----------------------------------- Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
One way we can get the major improvement I'm interested in (/etc/fonts rework) is to backport those fixes to 2.3.2. For instance, the Xft section says to install DejaVu fonts then hack up fonts.conf so that it knows about this font. Well, knowledge of this font comes by default in fontconfig-2.4.x. There are many other fixes in there, too. The fonts.conf in 2.3.2 is way suboptimal. As Alexander has pointed out, Keith Packard also maintains the Debian package for fontconfig, and they don't use anything like the shipped fonts.conf. At the very least, we could take the Debian patch for 2.3.2 and apply that. I haven't looked at it closely, but I'm sure it would be an improvement over what's in there by default. -- Ticket URL: <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/ticket/2134> BLFS Trac <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs> Beyond Linux From Scratch -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
