Anyone who uses fontconfig on Win32 has any comments on this? I'm not even familiar with Win32 so much. so I have no idea if we have any concerns once this change is applied. any kinda +1/-1 as a comment would be appreciated. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: <bugzilla-daemon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, Nov 17, 2013 at 6:42 PM Subject: [Fontconfig-bugs] [Bug 71691] New: Defaulting <cachedir> to LOCAL_APPDATA_FONTCONFIG_CACHE for Win32 build To: fontconfig-bugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Priority medium Bug ID 71691 Assignee fontconfig-bugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Summary Defaulting <cachedir> to LOCAL_APPDATA_FONTCONFIG_CACHE for Win32 build QA Contact freedesktop@xxxxxxxxxx Severity minor Classification Unclassified OS Windows (All) Reporter jehan@xxxxxxxxxxxx Hardware All Status NEW Version unspecified Component conf Product fontconfig Created attachment 89343 [details] Defaulting to LOCAL_APPDATA_FONTCONFIG_CACHE Hi, I'm a GIMP dev. We had some user telling us that the default value for fontconfig cache may not be the most appropriate on Windows (cf. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=703331). Well I'm not expert on Windows, so I can't say if LOCAL_APPDATA_FONTCONFIG_CACHE is the best fit (but saving in the non-roaming data repository sounds acceptable). On the other hand, saving in the %TEMP% directory though may indeed not be the best idea, if the TEMP directory concept is anything like on UNIX (where you should not expect the TEMP directories to have the same contents at your next reboot. It may, but on many installation, temp dirs are emptied). And apparently, according to our user, it is indeed often emptied on Windows too. So since you already have the implementation for LOCAL_APPDATA_FONTCONFIG_CACHE, I'm proposing to simply use it as the default for Windows. Patch attached. ________________________________ You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Fontconfig-bugs mailing list Fontconfig-bugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig-bugs -- Akira TAGOH _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list Fontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
