This is a Linux/i386 binary port of the Fontconfig library and utilities.
|
|
|
|
In the words of its author, Keith Packard:
|
|
|
|
Fontconfig can:
|
|
* discover new fonts when installed automatically, removing a common
|
|
source of configuration problems.
|
|
* perform font name substitution, so that appropriate alternative
|
|
fonts can be selected if fonts are missing.
|
|
* identify the set of fonts required to completely cover a set of
|
|
languages.
|
|
* have GUI configuration tools built as it uses an XML-based
|
|
configuration file (though with autodiscovery, we believe this need
|
|
is minimized).
|
|
* efficiently and quickly find the fonts you need among the set of
|
|
fonts you have installed, even if you have installed thousands of
|
|
fonts, while minimzing memory usage.
|
|
* be used in concert with the X Render Extension and FreeType to
|
|
implement high quality, anti-aliased and subpixel rendered text on a
|
|
display.
