I'm packaging fontconfig 2.9.0 for debian today and found a couple of ancient patches in my local tree. The first patch, [PATCH 1/2] Use posix_fadvise to speed startup, should improve startup time for the first application using fontconfig by asking the kernel to queue reads of the entire font cache. The second patch, [PATCH 2/2] Use const more often, just sticks 'const' declarations in a few more places within the implementation. These have been rebased on top of 2.9.0. -keith _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list Fontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
