Hi, About the broken font support, which was simply in the end fontconfig's configuration which kept some absolute path from the Linux where it was cross-compiled from, I think it is a pretty broken stuff. It was the reason of why italic/bold could not be simulated anymore in 2.8.6 for Windows. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=708110 That's still an ok bug because I think most fonts have bold/italic faces anyway. But after testing, I could confirm that the bug where "Sans" was using a Serif-ed font, which is already much more annoying, is also the same. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688593 And probably a few other bugs on fonts (reported already or not). Also we have a bunch of fixes in gimp-2-8 branch anyway, and it is soon 4 months since 2.8.6. Maybe it is a good time to make a minor release? I feel like there is no much reason to delay bugfix releases. Do we have an accurate policy on minor releases?
ASAP, when I find the time :) --Mitch _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address: gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list
