></H2
|
|
><P
|
|
>The configuration module consists of the FcConfig datatype, libexpat and
|
|
FcConfigParse which walks over an XML tree and ammends a configuration with
|
|
data found within. From an external perspective, configuration of the
|
|
library consists of generating a valid XML tree and feeding that to
|
|
FcConfigParse. The only other mechanism provided to applications for
|
|
changing the running configuration is to add fonts and directories to the
|
|
list of application-provided font files.
|
|
</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>The intent is to make font configurations relatively static, and shared by
|
|
as many applications as possible. It is hoped that this will lead to more
|
|
stable font selection when passing names from one application to another.
|
|
XML was chosen as a configuration file format because it provides a format
|
|
which is easy for external agents to edit while retaining the correct
|
|
structure and syntax.
|
|
</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>Font configuration is separate from font matching; applications needing to
|
|
do their own matching can access the available fonts from the library and
|
|
perform private matching. The intent is to permit applications to pick and
|
|
choose appropriate functionality from the library instead of forcing them to
|
|
choose between this library and a private configuration mechanism. The hope
|
|
is that this will ensure that configuration of fonts for all applications
|
|
can be centralized in one place. Centralizing font configuration will
|
|
simplify and regularize font installation and customization.

|
well known properties with associated types. Fontconfig uses some of these
|
|
properties for font matching and font completion. Others are provided as a
|
|
convenience for the applications rendering mechanism.
