" If OpenOffice guys are not involved in FontConfig development - well, this explains that OO doesn't have FontConfig support at this moment. IMO, they should ctach up ASAP, and add FC support into OO. | | Bye, Stefan aka mETz -- Vadim Plessky SVG Icons * BlueSphere Icons 0.3.0 released http://svgicons.sourceforge.net My KDE page http://kde2.newmail.ru (English) KDE mini-Themes http://kde2.newmail.ru/themes/ --Boundary-00=_v4v+92E4YhOZRSX Content-Type: message/rfc822; name="keith-fc2-announce" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="keith-fc2-announce" From fonts-admin@XFree86.Org Mon Sep 2 22:45:35 2002 Return-Path: Delivered-To: lucy-ples@mtu-net.ru X-Recipient: lucy-ples@mtu-net.ru Received: from Hueymiccailhuitl.mtu.ru (titlaltotonametli.mtu.ru [195.34.32.121]) by ns.mtu.ru (Postfix) with ESMTP id 27E831CFCC2 for ; Mon, 2 Sep 2002 22:45:35 +0400 (MSD) (envelope-from fonts-admin@XFree86.Org) Received: from public.xfree86.org (xf86.isc.org [204.152.184.37]) by Hueymiccailhuitl.mtu.ru (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2B23C1C1902 for ; Mon, 2 Sep 2002 22:45:34 +0400 (MSD) (envelope-from fonts-admin@XFree86.Org) Received: from public.XFree86.org (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by public.xfree86.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0D7AF276B1; Mon, 2 Sep 2002 14:45:04 -0400 (EDT) Received: from localhost ([63.227.221.253]) by public.xfree86.org (8.11.6/8.11.6) with ESMTP id g82IS9w90887 for ; Mon, 2 Sep 2002 11:28:10 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from keithp@keithp.com) Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1] helo=keithp.com) by localhost with esmtp (Exim 3.35 #1 (Debian)) id 17lvvi-0004pX-00; Mon, 02 Sep 2002 11:28:06 -0700 X-Mailer: exmh version 2.3.1 11/28/2001 with nmh-1.0.4+dev To: fonts@xfree86.org Cc: Keith Packard From: Keith Packard Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Message-Id: Subject: [Fonts]Fontconfig release - fcpackage version 2.0 Sender: fonts-admin@XFree86.Org Errors-To: fonts-admin@XFree86.Org X-BeenThere: fonts@XFree86.Org X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.9 Precedence: bulk Reply-To: fonts@XFree86.Org List-Help: List-Post: List-Subscribe: , List-Id: XFree86 Font List List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Date: Mon, 02 Sep 2002 11:28:06 -0700 Status: RO X-Status: F X-KMail-EncryptionState: N X-KMail-SignatureState: N With sufficient prodding, I've finally managed to build a release version of the various fontconfig related libraries. Please find them at the fontconfig web site: http://fontconfig.org (that's the same as http://nexp.cs.pdx.edu/fontconfig if your DNS can't find fontconfig.org yet). Because it includes version 2.0 of Xft, and because Fontconfig replaces functionality found in version 1 of Xft, I've labeled the package as version 2.0. It contains: Fontconfig 1.0.1 Xft 2.0 Xft1 1.1 Xrender 1.1 (supports Render protocol 0.5) Thanks go to all of those involved in this release, in particular: + Julisuz Chroboczek and Raph Levien for the original vision of client-side fonts. + Lars Knoll and Brad Hughes for early integration of Xft into the Qt toolkit. + Chris Blizzard and Brian Stell for help getting fontconfig ready to support Mozilla, and Chris for his work porting Mozilla to Xft2 and fontconfig. + Owen Taylor for help integrating fontconfig, Xft2 and Pango, and for help testing the release candidates. + David Dawes and the XFree86 project for the window system. + Dirk Hohndel for initial prodding on anti-aliased text. + David Turner and the FreeType project for a free font engine. + SuSE, Compaq and HP for supporting my work on this library.
