Guys, after spending an entire afternoon reading source for fontconfig and Xft and doing some experimenting it seems that I really need some help with understanding what seems to be an explicit design decision. The question is quite simple -- it seems that quite explicitly fontconfig doesn't let a client application request an exact set of properties for a font and how this font is supposed to be rendered. Basically, even though, I can do something like: $ xterm -fa 'mono:bgr' and even though at a pattern level ':bgr' gets recognized and passes upstream, when it comes to 'FcFontMatch' everything that has to do with the rendering gets stripped. So the question is -- why not let client tell the library *everything* why limit the choice to 'font-lookup' properties only ? Thanks in advance, Roman. _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list Fontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
