fontconfig 2.4.1-2ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

fontconfig (2.4.1-2ubuntu1) feisty; urgency=low

  * Merge from debian unstable.

  Ubuntu changes kept from previous versions follow:
  * Correctly fix the (eg) firefox vs. (eg) evince font metrics
    problem:
    - New FC_ANY_METRICS property, boolean.
    - Change URW Nimbus and AMT font aliases in 30-{urw,amt}-aliases.conf
      into equivalent <match> directives so that we can add an additional
      test which disables them when the anymetrics property is true.
    (reported to Debian #299697.)
  * Add `MgOpen Moderna' as well as `MgOpen Modata' to the list of fonts
    for which we might fall back to sans-serif.
    (reported to Debian, bug number pending.)
  * Some hackery in the debconf config script which attempts to upgrade
    user preferences across the many changes which have occurred to the
    debconf questions.  In particular:
  * Do not attempt to divine enable_bitmaps option by reading
    the symlinks in /etc.  This leaves the only way to permanently change
    the behaviour being dpkg-reconfigure.  The divination code was wrong
    and was intended by Debian to preserve pre-debconf configuration.
    It would be nicer to preserve handmade updates to the /etc directory,
    so, also:
  * Always create /etc/fontconfig/conf.d/ symlink for enabling or
    disabling bitmap fonts.  This records the state from debconf
    unambiguously into the filesystem and will make it possible for future
    upgrades (from Edgy or later) to preserve handmade changes.
  * Add a (optional) include for "language-selector.conf" in fonts.conf
  * debian/patches/03_preferred_symbol_font.patch:
    - prefer "Standard Symbols L" as symbol font (Ubuntu: #37745)
  * Fix incorrect location of /usr/share/X11/fonts.
  * 52-languageselector.conf loads language-selector.conf.
