Hi! ---- Are there any objections against that I remove the following stuff from the Xorg default build: 1. xc/lib/font/Type1/ - this code handles Type1 and CID fonts. Unfortunately the code is permanently crashing with "Beziers this big not yet supported" and that's more than anyoing... and the code is no longer be maintained since a longer time... and even Xfree86 has turned-off that code since the xc/lib/font/Freetype/ code has Type1 font support and does the job much better than xc/lib/font/Type1/ Note: I am _not_ removing PS Type1 font support... Type1 fonts will still be supported after that change... don't worry... :) 2. Speedo font support. Xfree86 turned Speedo font support off, Sun turned it off and AFAIK there were no new fonts in that format since at least ten (!!) years. I propose to turn Speedo font support OFF and remove it from the default font path 3. FONTCACHE extension support AFAIK Xfree86 removed that from their default build If I don't hear any complaints within the next 48h I'll remove that stuff from the default build. ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) [email protected] \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 2426 901568 FAX +49 2426 901569 (;O/ \/ \O;)
