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.

Upstream's version as each commit to the port's Makefile set it, or as this site first saw it in the system's packages; the tree's own revisions are not versions here.

Install

Binary package:

pkg install fontconfig

From the ports tree:

cd /usr/ports/x11-fonts/fontconfig/ && make install clean

To depend on this port in another port's Makefile:

RUN_DEPENDS=	fontconfig>0:x11-fonts/fontconfig
LIB_DEPENDS=	libfontconfig.so:x11-fonts/fontconfig

Packages

The version each package repository carries. “-” means the repository builds no package of it, “n/a” that there is no such repository.
