=================== BUG #4691: LATEST MODIFICATIONS ================== http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=4691&group_id=99
Changes by: Alban Browaeys <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: lun 11.08.2003 � 22:20 (GMT) ------------------ Additional Follow-up Comments ---------------------------- There should be support for xft2 since May when patches where submitted, I read your ML. As alexm from #gnustep irc channel told me about an xr support and as libart seems a better option i strongly feels nobody really care for xlib back , it s for newcomers isn t it ? By the way i tested on three boxes until now (all debian with 0.8.8 gnustep-back, the point is testing those debs ), and removing /etc/X11/XftConfig always end up with font_cacher building an empty cache. This bug is all about being closed, one way or another . If it s ok in gnustep release then i fix debian's against X 4.3pre, that is all about it. Hum , cannot let that go : (...) xft2 (...) as we already support these (...) was even before fontconfig was officially available. huhu X config , ahahah ... thanks. ps: if you have anything to ask about X config feel free to email me. =================== BUG #4691: FULL BUG SNAPSHOT =================== Soumis par: prahal Projet: GNUstep Signal� le: sam 09.08.2003 � 18:45 Category: Backend Severity: 5 - Major Bug Group: Bug Resolution: None Assigned to: FredKiefer Status: Declined Summary: with X 4.3 xlib backend is dead (except on bload distros)) Original Submission: this was at first a new : font_cacher , no error ... all my apps shows no fonts ! and all the color/etc answer not working ending in use backart. By luck i removed obsolete /etc/X11/XftConfig from one of my distro (even debian sometimes leaves dead files :( and font_cacher and font_disappeared , rebuild this file + font_caher , fonts back .... Could you either remove xlib backend or insert xft2 pathces . No X server will build, install this file anymore, and XFT1 is dead , god bless it . Some distributors (as debian) think xlib is ok and provide only this one ! I ask the debian maintenair to move to nfont+backart nfont is really good but without a compatibility or transitional period it s a real pain for maintenairs Alban Follow-up Comments ******************* ------------------------------------------------------- Date: lun 11.08.2003 � 22:20 By: prahal There should be support for xft2 since May when patches where submitted, I read your ML.

The suggested fix that GNUstep should be using xft2 patches is also rather obsolete as we already support these since backend release 0.8.6. As far as I remember this was even before fontconfig was officially available.
