Hi Akira, How is the result parameter of FcFontSetSort or FcFontSort supposed to be used? And what's the rationale behind a18ca17b [1] anyway? In which you have: + /* There are some implementation that relying on the result of + * "result" to check if the return value of FcFontSetSort + * is valid or not. + * So we should initialize it to the conservative way since + * this function doesn't return NULL anymore. + */ + if (result) + *result = FcResultNoMatch; So result is initialized to be FcResultNoMatch in the beginning, but it's never set to FcResultMatch later! The only reference to result is in the FcCompare() call below that, but that wouldn't change the value to FcResultMatch in any case. As a result we are stucked with FcResultNoMatch. In Qt, we do use that result to tell if the return value of FcFontSort is valid or not. Using fontconfig 2.9.0 (with this commit) makes Qt having no font fallback list at all: http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qtbase/blobs/master/src/platformsupport/fontdatabases/fontconfig/qfontconfigdatabase.cpp#line644 - Jiang [1] http://cgit.freedesktop.org/fontconfig/commit/?id=a18ca17b6211f62fbd1d893811b94b8c83db4cc0 _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list Fontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
