576 o Use new FreeType #include syntax
577 o use y_ppem field instead of 'height' in bitmap sizes rec -

580 o Don't construct program manuals unless docbook is available
584 o make distcheck work
588 o Switch to SGML manuals
589 o Add FC_DUAL width spacing value
590 o Add FcFini to close out fontconfig and release all memory
594 This is the third public release of fontconfig, a font configuration and
595 customization library. Fontconfig is designed to locate fonts within the
596 system and select them according to requirements specified by applications.
598 Fontconfig is not a rasterization library, nor does it impose a particular
599 rasterization library on the application. The X-specific library
600 'Xft' uses fontconfig along with freetype to specify and rasterize fonts.
