Summary: RFE: fontconfig-level locl patching
           Product: fontconfig
           Version: 2.6
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: library
        AssignedTo: keithp@keithp.com
        ReportedBy: nicolas.mailhot@laposte.net
                CC: fedora-fonts-bugs-list@redhat.com
Due to Han unification and other similar stuff parts of some fonts may not be
suitable for all locales.
This is handled by the locl flag in modern opentype fonts.
However there are still many non-opentype fonts in the wild, and it is not
possible to convert them all at once (when the license permits it).
There should be a way in fontconfig for font distributors to patch in via a
config file the locl characteristics of a font.
