I understand that, but it creates big problems for portable software. In fact, it seems serious portable software should invent its own font abstraction layer, instead of using fontconfig&freetype. It would be nice if that were not the case. Also, the fontconfig slowness actually does cause problems on Linux too. libass is slow at using external fonts embedded in subs (which happen frequently with the kind of files libass is meant to work with), and I bet there are other use-cases where this can become a problem, such as webfonts.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
