| 135 New font handling mechanism with font backend method | |
| 136 ---------------------------------------------------- | |
| 137 | |
| 138 This branch now contains new codes for handling fonts by multiple font | |
| 139 backends. The old font handling codes still exist completely parallel | |
| 140 to the new codes, and the new codes are used only when you configure | |
| 141 Emacs with the argument "--enable-font-backend" and run Emacs with the | |
| 142 same argument. | |
| 143 | |
| 144 The configure script, if invoked with "--enable-font-backend", checks | |
| 145 existing of libraries freetype and fontconfig. If they are both | |
| 146 available, macro "USE_FONT_BACKEND" is defined in src/config.h. | |
| 147 In that case, the exiting of Xft library is checked too. | |
| 148 | |
| 149 The new files are: | |
| 150 font.c -- main font handling code. | |
| 151 xfont.c -- font-driver on X for X core fonts. | |
| 152 ftfont.c -- generic font-driver for FreeType fonts. | |
| 153 xftfont.c -- font-driver on X using Xft for FreeType fonts. | |
| 154 ftxfont.c -- font-driver on X not using Xft for FreeType fonts. | |
| 155 | |
| 156 So we already have codes for X. For the other systems (win32 and mac), | |
| 157 it seems that we need these files: | |
| 158 bdffont.c -- generic font-driver for BDF fonts. | |
| 159 w32font.c -- font driver on win32 using Windows native fonts. | |
| 160 w32bdffont.c -- font-driver on win32 using BDF fonts. | |
| 161 atmfont.c -- font-driver on mac using ATM fonts. | |
| 162 | |
| 163 It may be interesting if Emacs supports frame buffer directly and have | |
| 164 these font driver. | |
| 165 ftfbfont.c -- font-driver on FB for FreeType fonts. | |
| 166 bdffbfont.c -- font-driver on FB for BDF fonts. | |
| 167 | |
| 168 Several other files have "#ifdef USE_FONT_BACKEND ... #endif" at the | |
| 169 place where changed for this new font codes. |
