Both pango and fontconfig support arbitrary locale tags. They just don't have any useful information for any but a select set of common ones. If anyone wants to see more added, they should first add it to glibc's locale database, then request addition to fontconfig and Pango, providing the needed data. (Pango in fact generates one of its tables out of fontconfig's data, the other one is mapping locale languages to OpenType LangSys tags). So, beating the wrong horse really. -- behdad http://behdad.org/ "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." -- Benjamin Franklin, 1759 _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list Fontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
