Follow-up Comment #3, bug #53060 (project gnustep): Thank you for this background information. And yes, looking at your patch could save me some time, as this is about the approach I want to follow through. All that font stuff is always a bit harder than it should be and this is mostly true due the levels of abstractions we have there. You always need one indirection more :-(
As for the HAVE_FC check, I did introduce that when I first started to use fontconfig with GNUstep. I am pretty sure it was needed at that time. But later on when somebody (me?) added that coveredCharacterset method, FC functions did get used unconditionally. This means for a few years GSXft has only been usable with fontconfig and we now should make it a hard requirement. This should reduce the amount of different implementations we have. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?53060> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-gnustep mailing list Bug-gnustep@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnustep
