Subject: Inaccuracy in NEWS.28
Date: Tue, 01 Mar 2022 12:54:01 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87fso22ryu.fsf@yahoo.com> (raw)

NEWS.28 says:
Note that building with Cairo means using Pango instead of libXFT for
font support. Since Pango 1.44 has removed support for bitmapped
fonts, this may require you to adjust your font settings.
But we don't use Pango anywhere except to parse GTK input method
information and the output of the GTK font dialog.
Cairo text display is unrelated to Pango, and bitmapped fonts will work
there as long as they are supported by FreeType. Bitmapped fonts will
also continue to work with the X server-side font driver, which is
available in Cairo builds.
So would anyone mind me simply deleting that part of NEWS.28, since it
is plain out wrong?
