I think you forget that Fontconfig not only manages system fonts. And all font management applications or modules I know (except TeX stuff) for users fonts also use Fontconfig. > Font & glyph substitution is *very* important on FLOSS systems,> especially when you render documents composed on other platforms with> different fonts (that have different unicode coverages) In my opinion, font & glyph substitutions should not be done without clear statement from the user that he agrees on these substitutions. From my graphic designer point of view, a silent font substitution can be a disaster. And nevermind if it’s FLOSS or not. > Nevertheless if you insist on producing something that does not fit with> the rest of the system, I'd say look up gucharmap's code — it knows what> font each glyph is taken from, and once you have this info, refusing to> use a particular glyph is not too far away. Gucharmap, because it focuses on Unicode rather than fonts, might not be the best code to look at. -- Pierre Marchandhttp://www.oep-h.com _______________________________________________Fontconfig mailing listFontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
