I think most applications should use FcFontSetList instead so that they receive the set of fonts necessary to render arbitrary characters, instead of a single font with limited Unicode coverage. I know that Pango and Mozilla both use the listing function exclusively; I'm not sure how to improve the performance of this function though. -keith -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
