20-06-14:
* Upgrade to latest git version d4abd3
- SF issue #8 is fixed
- Menus are now not absurdly wide
* Build FontForge with Cairo support
- Glyph outlines in the editing window are now anti-aliased
- The glyph fill operation should be faster
- Fontconfig is not used any more, unless Cairo is disabled (-usecairo=no)
- Fonts can be placed in share/fonts or a folder called 'ui-fonts' in your
preferences folder and FontForge can use them to display the user interface
correctly. If you installed FontForge, this will be
%APPDATA%/FontForge/ui-fonts. This distribution comes pre-bundled with the
DejaVu fonts. Cantarell, Inconsolata and WenQuanYi has been dropped.
* Bundle the Python executable (python.exe as ffpython.exe)
- This gives users direct access to the Python distribution bundled with
FontForge, so they may install extra Python modules if they need to.
- Unfortunately the Python extension cannot be used with the native
(official) Python installation as that has been compiled with MSVC.
- There are limits to what can be installed. Simple extensions are fine.
Trying to install something like numpy will not work.
14-06-14:
