While building ImageMagick ImageMagick-6.2.9, I found out the the
currently distributed
cygwin fontconfig version to be too old (version 2.2 or so). and two
years of developed have resulted in a (as of now) fontconfig-2.4.1.
I found that this also builds well in the cygwin developement
environment and seems to be aware of installing the
usr/bin/cygfontconfig-1.dll files as well (As long as x-windows is not
running).
New version of fontconfig as found at: http://fontconfig.org/release/
New version of ImageMagick found at:
ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/
I don't know how to find out who is in charge of the fontcont, but it
should be updated for everyone. I don't beleive I found ImageMagick
in cygwin's respository, but is was a
straight process to build.
This is really an X issue and should be discussed on the X list. I've
reset the Reply-To, etc. to that list. Please follow-up there as you
see fit. Also, right now, there is no X maintainer so if you're looking
for updates, you'll need to find a volunteer or create the update yourself.
If you do the latter, perhaps you would consider becoming the maintainer? :-)
