[Fink-devel] About Fonts

[Alexander Strange]

We don't really have to worry about this until XFree86 4.3, but...

* XFree86 will be using the Fontconfig library. We should package our own version of this, patch it to recognize /sw/lib/X11/fonts, and tell XFree86 to build with it.
* We may want to make our freetype2 build with ftmac support (won't work on darwin) and hinting (if not already enabled), and have XFree86 use it too (This is also a good example of how variants would be useful).
* Our font package currently use 'ttfmkfontdir'. They should be switched over to using 'mkfontscale'.

"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? When why call him god?"

--Epicurus
