Hi, We hit a locale sensitivity issue of font family name matching in Qt. We use fontconfig like this: * For system fonts, we query the list of fonts with FcFontList() and store the first family name of each result in a list, these family names are always locale aware because the results returned by FcFontList() are always locale aware. * For application fonts, we construct a FTFace from the data and use FcFreeTypeQueryFace to get a FcPattern from it, then get the first family name in the pattern returned, store it in a list. However, the family names returned in this pattern are *NOT* locale aware. The problem of above methods is the family names from the application font list cannot be used to query a font in the first family name list. For instance, if I have the font "SimSun.ttc", my locale is zh_CN.UTF-8, then the first list will have "åä" while the application font list will have "SimSun". Possible solutions will be make the family names in the pattern returned by FcFreeTypeQueryFace locale aware, or at least let us to get id of family name in locale aware manner, currently all the locale related functions in fontconfig are private, thus we cannot reproduce the entire locale matching process without duplicate fontconfig code in Qt. Any suggestions? - Jiang _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list Fontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
