hi,
After updating fontconfig, apps which use fontconfig are going to
crash:(, then I found FcPatternGetString(pattern, FC_FILE,... only
returns basename instread of full path name sometimes that make cairo
return NULL font face then app crashes. Then follow to fontconfig,
I think problem is here.
void
FcPatternDestroy (FcPattern *p)
{
int i;
if (FcPatternFindFullFname (p))
FcPatternAddFullFname (p, 0);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
why every call to FcPatternDestroy want to reset font full name, maybe
this object is still hold by others. Removing these two lines,
everything works fine now.:D
