Revision as of 21:54, 12 November 2008
Possible areas for improvement in font handling:
- Modernize the font selection dialog (see http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2008-August/msg00142.html)
- Modernize the font tab in the appearance capplet
- Make font installation easy. Packages may not be the best approach to fonts (packaging means minimal legal audit of the font, addition of human-friendly description and necessary fontconfig rules, fc-cache automation, etc Doing it all elsewhere means creating another font-specific packaging format)
- If packages are the answer for now, at least make font installation automatic, see Features/AutomaticFontInstallation
- Implement side bearing deltas in cairo and pango (see http://osdir.com/ml/fonts.freetype.user/2007-03/msg00057.html)
- Support CFF fonts in OOo ooo43029
- Modernize the font selection in OOo ooo79878
- Fix the problems identified there
- restore some form of font preview when double-clicking on a font file in nautilus
