hi I noticed that the fc-cache utility does not support SFNT ttf(or otf) format well. It will output a fonts.cache-1 file with wrong font information. The specific sfnt font I tested is WenQuanYi's bitmap CJK font, which is generated with fontforge, and can be download here http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wqy/wqy-bitmapfont-ttf-0.7.0-4.tar.gz?download If I create fonts.cache-1 manually with hand-written font information, "fc-cache -f" will overwrite it with erroneous info. I found a couple of Sfnt calls from fcfreetype.c unit, seems it is designed to support this format. I am wondering if anyone can give me some insight on what might cause the failure of recognition of wenquanyi's font. meanwhile, in fc-cache.c, I don't know if it possible to add a skipping flag under "-f" option, for example, if fc-cache finds a file named fonts.cache-forceskip under the current directory, it will skip this font folder under any condition. I think this might be helpful if font developers want to put some specific settings and don't want system to overwrite. thanks Qianqian _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list Fontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
