Firefly patchset is mainly used to make CJK truetype fonts looks prettier. Various enhancements like bold, italic, readability, embedded bitmap font... do help CJK X desktop environment a lot. Of course, there's no perfect solution, thus there're reasons why this patchset does not go into freetype.org nor gtk.org mainstream. The patchset is developed on linux over one year and is widely used among linux users by patching manually. Hamigua <hamigua at cuc.cn> did a great job by fitting those patches into freebsd ports framework. The result is providing a WITH_CJK knob which affects freetype2, fontconfig, libXft, pango. Patch submitted in this PR will _NOT_ change original behaviors of these ports, but instead it provides chance for FreeBSD CJK users to improve usability of their desktops painlessly. Speaking as FreeBSD ports committer, I'm volunteered to keep in touch with Hamigua <hamigua at cuc.cn>, so that this great feature will not be unmaintained and eventually forsaken. Welcome for comments. Fix: fetch http://people.freebsd.org/~clive/dist/firefly_cjkpatch.diff.gz gunzip firefly_cjkpatch.diff.gz cd /usr/ports patch -p0 < firefly_cjkpatch.diff echo "WITH_CJK=yes" >> /etc/make.conf portupgrade -f freetype2 fontconfig libXft pango
Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-ports-bugs->gnome Over to maintainers.
State Changed From-To: open->suspended Pango is about to be updated to 1.6.x following the release of 5.3. After that, this patchset will most likely have to be modified. Once that is done, it can be committed. I would also like to know what plans, if any, exist for pushing these patches upstream? It would seem like the freetype, fontconfig, and pango people would be interested in making CJK fonts as nice as possible.

Sure, I'm aware of this, and I will keep eyes on it ;) > I would also like to know what plans, if any, exist for pushing these patches > upstream?

Kicking these patchsets into mainstreams of freetype, fontconfig, pango, and those not mentioned here like openoffice, mozilla, is underway. There're patches accepted, and patches rejected. Once acceptable solutions are found, they will be integrated gradually. The key point is, patches must make both non-CJK and CJK people happy. Dirty hacks due to incomplete API or simply lack of completeness in the patches, are reasons why they're still maintained elsewhere. Ports is a great vehicle to deliver current works and attract more developers, as long as the patchset is well maintained, which I promised to do.
