Matthias, These are very good news and looking at the kind of tests that you are asking for, I'm willing to check this out.
Right now my machine is a Fedora Core 4 system with all the official updates installed. Is it possible for you to set up an RPM package somewhere for this new version of fontconfig to be installed on a FC4 system? or this is for rawhide only? What version of GTK+ would be required? If you can't do that, is it possible to compile fontconfig from source overwriting the existing installation? Due to bandwidth limits I can't afford updating to rawhide every day. Thanx for your hard work, -William El vie, 23-09-2005 a las 09:38 -0400, Matthias Clasen escribió: > On Fri, 2005-09-23 at 16:28 +0300, Kalle Vahlman wrote: > > I definitely consider myself fearless, and have no second thoughts on > > scrapping my system (which is mostly self-built anyway), but I'm not > > exactly sure what I'll be looking for? > > > > Just memory leaks? > > > > Do I need to have extensive configuration for fontconfig in order to > > conjure misbehaviour?
