Fontconfig ships with eight command line utilities to manage and query fonts and the font configuration of the system: fc-list: Lists all fonts fontconfig knows about or all fonts matching a pattern. fc-match: Matches font-pattern (empty pattern by default) using the normal fontconfig matching rules to find the most appropriate font available.
Xft, the X FreeType interface library, is a free computer program library written by Keith Packard. [3] [4] It uses the MIT/X license that The Open Group applied after the post X11R6.4 license restoration.
Mingw-w64 is a free and open-source suite of development tools that generate Portable Executable (PE) binaries for Microsoft Windows.It was forked in 2005–2010 from MinGW (Minimalist GNU for Windows).
Binary compatibility is a major benefit when developing computer programs that are to be run on multiple OSes. Several Unix-based OSes, such as FreeBSD or NetBSD, offer binary compatibility with more popular OSes, such as Linux-derived ones, since most binary executables are not commonly distributed for such OSes.
Examples of systems that perform font substitution include fontconfig, Adobe Reader, Unidrv, Microsoft Word (since Word 2002), Libre Office and OpenOffice.org. [1] Not all systems that claim to offer font substitution are able to substitute for missing characters; some are only capable of substituting for missing fonts.
Universal binaries are larger than single-platform binaries, because multiple copies of the compiled code must be stored. However, because some non-executable resources are shared by the two architectures, the size of the resulting universal binary can be, and usually is, smaller than the combined sizes of two individual binaries.
FreeType is a software development library used to render text onto bitmaps, and which provides support for other font-related operations.The FreeType font rasterization engine is free and open-source software with the source code dual-licensed under a BSD-like license and the GPL.
In Windows 1.x, 2.x and 3.x, all Windows applications shared the same address space as well as the same memory. A DLL was only loaded once into this address space; from then on, all programs using the library accessed it. The library's data was shared across all the programs.
