Happy Thanksgiving to everyone celebrating, and happy Thursday to everyone
else. I've been looking at this new fontconfig (and have run into some of the
terrible looking pages I remembered from previous attempts to upgrade). The
solution is certainly *not* to disable bitmap fonts. I need those in my
terminal emulator, and have never seen a vector font that looks correct. What
I've done this time is make the defaults for fontconfig sane and user
configurable, and then converted the two bitmap fonts that are causing the
problems to OTB format and changing the family name from "name" to "name (OTB)"
which prevents them from being picked up by default.
Hope this looks better! Cheers! :-)
a/file-5.46-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
a/mkinitrd-1.4.11-x86_64-52.txz: Rebuilt.
geninitrd: since we're sourcing /etc/default/geninitrd, we might as well test
the AUTO_REMOVE_ORPHANED_INITRDS variable directly instead of grepping for it
in the defaults file. Thanks to Mechanikx.
a/pkgtools-15.1-noarch-18.txz: Rebuilt.
make-kernel-backup: account for "file" changing 80386 to i386.

x/font-adobe-100dpi-1.0.4-noarch-2.txz: Rebuilt.
Install these fonts as OTB rather than PCF.
x/font-adobe-75dpi-1.0.4-noarch-2.txz: Rebuilt.
Install these fonts as OTB rather than PCF.
x/fontconfig-2.15.0-x86_64-3.txz: Rebuilt.
Let's not link any hinting, subpixel, or lcdfilter conf files by default.
That way the user can choose what to link (if anything) without future
fontconfig updates stomping on those choices.

Slackware 14.0 x86_64 stable is released!
We're perfectionists here at Slackware, so this release has been a long
time a-brewing. But we think you'll agree that it was worth the wait.
Slackware 14.0 combines modern components, ease of use, and flexible
configuration... our "KISS" philosophy demands it.
The ISOs are off to be replicated, a 6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a
dual-sided
32-bit/64-bit x86/x86_64 DVD. Please consider supporting the Slackware
project by picking up a copy from store.slackware.com. We're taking
pre-orders now, and offer a discount if you sign up for a subscription.
Thanks to everyone who helped make this happen. The Slackware team, the
upstream developers, and (of course) the awesome Slackware user
community.
Have fun! :-)
