Hello good people, this is the patch I have promised before. :) It removes the aliasing/mapping for (URW)++ fonts, because these have become part of the upstream repository, and will be part of the next 'urw-base35-fonts' release. You can find the upstream repository for (URW)++ here: https://github.com/ArtifexSoftware/urw-base35-fonts/ It contains a fontconfig/ subfolder with the configuration. It contains files for each font family with aliasing/mapping for the latest versions of these fonts. Because (URW)++ is not using sane naming/versioning of the fonts, the fontconfig/ folder also contains the 'urw-fallback.conf' file, which will be useful for people using older versions of (URW)++ fonts. (More info it the file's header.) Also, you can see that the fontconfig files no longer use the priority/ordering number. After discussion with Akira, we agreed that it would be best for each distribution to set this value by themselves. I have added this note into fontconfig/README file in the upstream repository. (It also suggests to stick with value 30 if the package maintainer is not sure what value should be choosed.) Lastly, if there's any mistake in the fontconfig files, the upstream is accepting pull-requests on github. I think should be convenient for people, and should take some work of your shoulders as well. :) Best regards, Dee'Kej P.S.: I have (cross-)checked upstream fontconfig files and this patch, but any review of it is welcomed. ---------------------------------------- David Kaspar [Dee'Kej] (1): conf.d: Drop aliases for (URW)++ fonts conf.d/30-metric-aliases.conf | 183 +----------------------------------------- conf.d/30-urw-aliases.conf | 33 -------- 2 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 213 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 conf.d/30-urw-aliases.conf -- 2.9.5 _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list Fontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
