x11-fonts/fontconfig 2.17.1_1,1 MidnightBSD

XML-based font configuration API for X Windows

System: MidnightBSD
Repository: mports
Maintainer: [email protected]
License: mit
Categories: x11-fonts

Description

Fontconfig does the following:

\* 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.

In the other systems

The newest version among them is 2.18.3, as upstream numbers it.
