OK. > AFAIK a patch to update fontconfig was submitted for the core-updates > branch already. There’s no such thing in ‘core-updates’. However, one could set a ‘fontconfig-update’ branch and update Fontconfig and possibly related libraries. We could merge it in ‘master’ more quickly than ‘core-updates’. > Frescobaldi needs poppler-qt4, a library that is built by poppler when > Qt4 is found at build time.

Yes, sounds good. > From 98b7a6b8b5ccbc2b4648838830612e148c96d995 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 > From: Ricardo Wurmus <[email protected]> > Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2015 23:22:29 +0200 > Subject: [PATCH 1/4] gnu: Add poppler-qt4. > > * gnu/packages/pdf.scm (poppler-qt4): New variable.

Would be nice to mention a couple of features, like: “Among other things, it can render scores next to the source, can capture input from MIDI or read MusicXML and ABC files, has a MIDI player for proof-listening, and includes a documentation browser.” OK with this change. Thanks! Ludo’.
