It is the foundation for a new font handling in X -applications (but can also be useful without X). - -Applications not using fontconfig are accessing their fonts through -the X server. Font packages for these applications are named xfonts-*. -You can also use TrueType fonts with these applications if you install -the x-ttcidfont-conf package, which connects the X server to defoma: -fonts included in ttf-* packages or added manually using dfontmgr can -then be used in these programs. -A few of these applications, using Xft1, can benefit of antialiasing -with vector fonts, but it is deprecated. - -The new font renderer in XFree86 is called freetype2, and applications -using it access fonts on the client side. Most of them (including all -GTK2/GNOME2 and KDE3 applications) do it using fontconfig, which -provides listing and matching facilities for all fonts installed on the -system. Any font installed in /usr/share/fonts or ~/.fonts will be -accessible to these applications. This is now also true for fonts added -using defoma. -These programs can all benefit from antialiasing, autohinting and -sub-pixel rendering. You can configure it through fontconfig, using -debconf (dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig), or by changing -links in /etc/fonts/conf.d by hand. - -Original text by: - -- Josselin Mouette <joss@debian.org> Wed, 8 Oct 2003 21:51:35 +0200 - -Changes for fontconfig 2.3 packages by: - -- Keith Packard <keithp@debian.org> Thu, 10 Mar 2005 13:29:11 -0800 |
