           Summary: Support for fontconfig embeddedbitmap option
           Product: cairo
           Version: 1.0.2
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: ft font backend
        AssignedTo: otaylor at redhat.com
        ReportedBy: tmayberr at redhat.com
         QAContact: cairo-bugs at cairographics.org


A small patch was submitted to the cairo list back in September
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/cairo/2005-September/005404.html
that enabled cairo to support the fontconfig FC_EMBEDDED_BITMAP option. The
patch allows gtk/gnome applications to always display the fonts with the
embedded bitmaps if it is specified in the fontconfig configuration file.

This patch effects a few bugs in the Red Hat bugzilla(164374,167383) and I was
wondering if there was any plan to incorporate this patch(or something like it)
into cairo as it isn't a Red Hat specific bug and is functionality that may be
desirable for other linux distributions.
