[Fontconfig] Re: fontconfig Digest, Vol 9, Issue 4

[Wu Cong]

Yeah~~
Waiting for firefly's patch join to fontconfig a long time.

I am a fontconfig user from China mainland. There are always some
defects with drawing Chinese chararacters in fontconfig official
release. We (most of linux users in Chinese enviroment, that is true!)
fix them by firefly's patch.

The problems his patch resolved are most popular problems in Chinese
enviroment. We thank fontconfig group and firefly indeed for your
perfect works!
