In my view, this is partly the fault of Cairo, since in Cairo it's not really Win32 font -- it's more like WinNT font because it lacks support for Win9x.
Also, IIRC, David Turner submitted a patch over a year ago that allowed Cairo to build FreeType with or without fontconfig. If this patch was applied, I believe the problem would be resolved. In any case, FreeType doesn't need fontconfig for anything at all, so it would be prudent to allow building Cairo without fontconfig. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wed, 07 May 2008 14:27:04 -0700 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [cairo] [poppler] Printing with poppler on Windows > > On Wed, 7 May 2008 11:24:20 +0200 (CEST), Peter Åstrand wrote: >> Cairo seems to have built in support for using the Win32 font system >> instead of Freetype, but unfortunately this path is not possible with >> Poppler, as it requires Freetype. > > Cairo does have support for the win32 font system, yes.
