The changes to FcFontSort in CVS HEAD are great. I think that''s exactly what I need to solve my problems and others''. Any other various issues I think are beyond the scope of what fontconfig can be responsible for, and are the responsibility of the applications, documents, user configuration, or possibly pango. (E.g., in an English Unicode locale, view a UTF-8 document that isn''t labeled for language but is mostly Japanese. Should the Latin characters be rendered with the Japanese font used for everything else, or with the preferred English-supporting font? Similarly problems of preferring a Japanese vs. Chinese font for Han characters in an unspecified document when in a non-CJK locale are up to individual users.) What''s left for a 2.3.0 "stable release" anyway? I know RH and possibly other distributions like to avoid shipping development snapshots, so a release would be nice. As an aside, the links to the fontconfig User Documentation on the wiki should point to http://freedesktop.org/fontconfig/fontconfig-user.html not http://fontconfig.org/fontconfig/fontconfig-user.html and mutatis mutandis for the Developer Documentation.
