Hi Since fontconfig is being considered for inclusion into the LSB , the LSB needs to standardize on the interfaces that need to be added. General practice to include libraries has been to drop interfaces that are either not very widely used or may be deprecated in future versions. Working towards the 2.4 release, are there going to be any ABI changes ? Could someone suggest which interfaces may be dropped (if at all) ? all help appreciated. thanks, -- Pradosh Adoni -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

We also need some kind of info on the existing interfaces. As per the documentation fontconfig is split into configuration and font matching modules.Does it make sense to include both the said modules as a standard ? Am I right in understanding that the configuration API is hidden from application developers.?, (in which case you wouldn''t need them to be standardised) Thanks in advance... -- pradosh P.S. pardon the ignorance. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
