Summary: Make fc-query warn about non-WWS compliant fonts Product: fontconfig Version: 2.6 Platform: Other OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: medium Component: library AssignedTo: freedesktop@behdad.org ReportedBy: nicolas.mailhot@laposte.net QAContact: keithp@keithp.com CC: fedora-fonts-bugs-list@redhat.com
(it would be nice if there was a fc-query component in fontconfig BTW)
Since MS' WWS naming model makes stuff simpler for application authors, and will be required in new window code, it would be mighty nice if fc-query warned in its general report if a font file didn't respect this model.
Respecting the WWS model is declaring fields 21 and 22 or 16 in 17 in ways that respect WWS (only weight, width and slant in sytles)
This way we can point FLOSS authors to fc-query as linting tools and promote font naming our apps can handle easily
