Yeah, you can build FontConfig over Windows. See if that works out for
you. Otherwise, I had used FreeType directly from within Cairo some
time back. (As I had to use cairo on an embedded file system, which
won't run FontConfig in any case). I might be able to give some hints
related to that. Let me know.<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi all,
Would it be possible to separate the existing FreeType/Fontconfig
dependencies into two distinct dependencies, with the goal of being
able to use FreeType with Cairo, but not requiring Fontconfig?
I'm trying to help a coworker get Cairo built on Windows, and have
run into this issue. For our own usage, we definitely need FT, and
thus have turned on CAIRO_HAS_FT_FONT. Unfortunately, this also
triggers a requirement of Fontconfig, for which we haven't figured
out how to build it on Windows (If it even can be....)
From some previous posts, it seems I'm not the only one that might be
happy to see this:

In the meantime, can anyone provide any insight as to how to best
proceed?
- Try to get Fontconfig built on Windows? (If possible?)
- Hack apart every version of Cairo we download, to strip the
Fontconfig stuff out?
- Other?
Many thanks for any info, suggestions, etc!
Ian
