Hello, I'd like to ask if there are any plans to do the mmap() thing in fontconfig in the foreseeable future. I just posted a patch[*] to xdg@ mailing list solving the XIM problem in a similar way, so I thought I'd check the status. I first thought I could do the same with fontconfig, but I don't know fontconfig internals, and it seems to me this would be more difficult than XIM :( , so I'm unsure if I could get bored enough to handle this.
