Summary: RFE: help write locale-specific tests
Product: fontconfig
Version: 2.6
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: library
AssignedTo: keithp at keithp.com
ReportedBy: nicolas.mailhot at laposte.net
CC: fedora-fonts-bugs-list at redhat.com
Due to Han unification there is often a need for font distributors to test if a
font name is requested in a chinese, japanese or korean context. However, there
are many chinese locales and writing an exact match is not possible.
The current pattern (used by Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, etc) in this case is
<test compare="contains" name="lang">
<string>zh</string>
</test>
but we do not really want to match every locale containing "ze". We want to
match every ze-foo locale, not jze-foo or foo-ze
Please add a documented fonts.conf pattern to fontconfig that allows
distributors to specify such an exact match.
