I discovered recently that the Matplotlib project has put a bunch of repos on GitHub, one of which is this <https://github.com/matplotlib/fcpy>, their own Python binding for Fontconfig. Trouble is, they do it as an extension module written as C code. This creates a lot of extra work, and is usually a waste of time. In most cases (including Fontconfig), a binding can be created in pure Python that works just as well with significantly less code, in this case a few hundred lines less <https://github.com/ldo/python_fontconfig>. And I think I managed to squeeze in one or two extra functions that they didn’t. _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list [email protected] https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
