0001 KDE4.4
0002 ======
0003 1. Create a dbus daemon for handling font installtion, and have the kcm and ioslave
0004    use this.
0005 2. Use policykit to control installation of system-wide fonts.
0006 3. Merged progress, skip, cancel, and error dialogs used when installing, etc., into
0007    1 dialog.
0008 4. Simplify layout.
0009 5. Remove simple mode - always use font management mode.
0010 6. When multiple fonts are selected, use a list style preview of all selected fonts.
0011 7. Because of the above, remove the in-line previews from the font list.
0012 
0013 KDE4.3
0014 ======
0015 1. Dont cache previews to disk.
0016 
0017 KDE4.2
0018 ======
0019 1. Added zoom controls to font preview.
0020 2. Made viewer application a KUniqueApplication
0021 
0022 KDE3.5 -> KDE4.0
0023 ================
0024  1. Enabling/disabling of fonts.
0025  2. Creation of "Font Groups"
0026  3. Fonts are now grouped via family name, i.e. shown as:
0027        + Courier [4]
0028        - Times [2]
0029            Regular
0030            Italic
0031     ...where the number in brackets indicates the number of styles. Clicking
0032     on the expand icon (+) will then show the list of styles.
0033  4. Add ability in font view part to show unicode tables.
0034  5. Remove all references to Speedo fonts - haven't been supported since
0035     KDE3.3!
0036  6. Only one view - list view. However, each item now has a small preview.
0037  7. Xft is now required.
0038  8. Remove Fontmap creation.
0039  9. Creation of fonts.dir & fonts.scale will be done via mkfontscale and
0040     mkfontdir.
0041 10. Legacy X is only configured for a folder if it already contains a fonts.dir
0042     file.
0043 11. Font installtion is *much* faster - as config files are now updated after
0044     all fonts are installed, as opposed to every 50 fonts.
0045 12. Folders are no longer added to X's config files - because of 10 above.
0046     The only system config file that will be altered is either
0047     /etc/fonts/local.conf or /etc/fonts/conf.d/00kde.conf (dependant upon
0048     your fontconfig version)
0049 13. When installing font files, install into a sub folder named after the 1st
0050     character. e.g.
0051          wibble.ttf ->   ~/.fonts/w/wibble.ttf
0052 14. Better unique names when creating font packages.
0053 15. Use zip and not tar.gz for font packages.
0054 16. Allow import of fonts/package.
0055 17. Allow fonts/package to be installed via konqueror service menu.
0056 18. Better TTC handling.
0057 19. When installing to fonts:/, as non-root, automatically install to fonts:/Personal.
0058     To install to fonts:/System need to explicity copy to fonts:/System.
0059 20. Hide kfontview from KMenu - its only required by kcm, and when cliking on a font.
0060 21. Renamed kcmfontinst to just fontinst.
0061 22. When printing, use external kfontprint app - that way newly installed fonts can
0062     also be printed.
0063 23. When run as non-root, the kcontrol module will have a combo box allowing the user
0064     to select Personal or System fonts.
0065 24. Better bitmap font previews - list of sizes obtained via fontconfig.
0066 25. Regular fonts listed as fonts:/<family>, Regular - e.g. fonts:/Times, Regular
0067 26. Use a kio_font_helper app when accesing fonts:/System - much faster, as kdesu is
0068     not required to be called for each action.
0069 27. Add a "Find Duplicates" tool, that looks for multiple installtions of the same font.
0070     i.e. different locations, or the same location but different filename case
0071     (e.g. times.ttf / times.TTF)
0072 
0073 KDE3.4 -> KDE3.5
0074 ================
0075 1. When copying a file out of fonts sub-system, copy as filename, or <fontname>.fonts.tar.gz
0076    in the case of multiple font files mapped to the same font name.
0077 
0078     e.g. Times New Roman -> times.ttf
0079          Helvetica, Bold Oblique-> Hevetica, Bold Oblique.fonts.tar.gz
0080                   Which contains:
0081                            75dpi_helvBO10.pcf.gz
0082                            75dpi_helvBO12.pcf.gz
0083                            100dpi_helvBO10.pcf.gz
0084                            100dpi_helvBO12.pcf.gz
0085                            ...etc
0086 
0087 2. New mimetype: fonts/package - to cater for the above.
0088 3. Add settings to enable/disable configuring fonts for legacy X, and Ghostscript
0089    (X defaults to true, and Ghostscript defaults to false)
0090 4. Show mime-type in detailed view.
0091 5. Simple font sample printing - but only of installed fonts!
0092 6. Add toggle button to control display of bitmap fonts.
0093 
0094 KDE3.3 -> KDE3.4
0095 ================
0096 1. Font listing comes from fontconfig. This means that fonts will be grouped, i.e.
0097    previously each size of a bitmap font was shown seperately, now only 1 font
0098    will be displayed which represents all sizes.
0099 2. Only fonts, and not folders (except System and Personal), are now shown.
0100 3. Creation of afms from pfa/pfb and a pfm file.
0101 4. Previews are drawn via Xft - previously FreeType was called directly.
0102 5. New font preview look.
0103 6. No longer dependant upon file extension.
0104 7. Check for FPE of "fontconfig" -> if set, then no need to configure X core fonts.
0105 
0106 KDE3.2 -> KDE3.3
0107 ================
0108 1.  List fonts as "Full Name" -> i.e. "Times New Roman".
0109 2.  Preview of bitmap fonts.
0110 3.  No fontname-title in thumbnails - as fonts:/ lists the fontnames!
0111 4.  When copying to fonts:/ (as non-root) only ask for destination if more than 5 seconds
0112     since previously asked.
0113 5.  Add a konqueror service menu "Install"
0114 6.  Use FreeType2 for reading Type1 - instead of parsing the pfa/pfb header.
0115 7.  FamilyName is now the fonts *real* family name - no adding of style information.
0116 8.  Add extra style information (which was previously added to FamilyName) into the XLFD.
0117 9.  Consider regular weight to be medium (same as mkfontscale).
0118 10. Default to width=normal, weight=medium if not set.
0119 11. Allow change of preview string.
0120 12. Allow zooming in/out of preview.
0121 13. Waterfall font preview.
0122 14. Use font preview part in the KControl module - less code duplication.
0123 15. Include simple fontviwer app - basically just an application wrapper for the viewpart.
0124 
0125 KDE3.1 -> KDE3.2
0126 ================
0127 1.  Re-designed (yet again...) to be a kio slave. As a user, starting fonts:/ will display
0128 
0129         Personal   Lists contents of $HOME/.fonts and $KDEHOME/share/fonts (where previous installer installed to)
0130                    Fonts are installed to $HOME/.fonts
0131 
0132         System     Lists contents of /usr/local/share/fonts, /usr/share/fonts, and /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts
0133                    Fonts are installed to /usr/local/share/fonts (as per FHS)
0134 
0135     To install fonts system wide, just drop onto "System" and root's password will be asked
0136     for.
0137 
0138     As root, fonts:/ will show the same as fonts:/System (but without the System part...)
0139 
0140 2.  New kcontrol module that uses fonts:/
0141 3.  Removed:
0142         AFM creation  -- only really required (TTF wise) for SO <6.0
0143         StarOffice configuration (S0 6.0 / OO.o is *much* better anyway)
0144 4.  X font server (xfs) - if used - is refreshed by sending a SIGUSR1 instead of
0145     relying on a /etc/init.d/xfs script. This is much more portable.
0146 5.  Simple FontView part for konqueror - this is basically a big re-sizable preview of the font.
0147 6.  Speed up creation of fonts.dir and fonts.scale - by reading in any existing files, and using the
0148     entries from these instead of loading and testing the font (if listed).
0149 7.  Better font preview and thumbnails.
0150 8.  Only add a dir to fontpath if fonts.dir has greater than 0 entries!
0151 9.  Use /etc/fonts/local.conf as root fontconfig file.
0152 10. Only add dirs to fontconfig if *not* a sub-dir of an existing dir.
0153 11. Ensure that top-level fonts dir is always in fontpath.
0154 12. A Fontmap file is created in each sub dir, which is then combined into 1 top level Fontmap file.
0155     ~/.fonts/Fontmap for normal users, and /etc/fonts/Fontmap for root. 
0156 13. Modify <ghostscript dir><sub-dir>/Fontmap to contain:
0157        (/etc/fonts/Fontmap) .runlibfile
0158     ...as this is the system-wide Fontmap file created. As for the per-user, one, hmmm...
0159 14. When a folder is configured, ensure fonts.dir/fonts.scale/Fontmap/.fonts-config-timestamp (SuSE
0160     specific) all have the same timestamp (if they exist). Helps to discover if a folder has been
0161     modified - in which case it needs to be reconfigured (and should happen automatically).
0162 15. Add support for TrueType Collections (.ttc), and OpenType (.otf) fonts. Currently TTC's are only
0163     configured for X - need to also configure GS to see other faces.
0164 16. CID fonts are *not* handled - therefore don't list the X11 CID directory, and don't let users
0165     try to create this.
0166 17. Don't list "encodings" in fonts:/System - and don't allow users to create this.
0167 18. Use XFree86's libfontenc (if found) to read font-encodings.
0168 19. Handle 1bpp glyphs in thumbnail code.
0169 20. Ensure X fontpaths *never* end in "/" - i.e. when write XF86Config, xfs/config,
0170     or fontpaths remove any trailing "/"
0171 21. When adding/removing an unscaled dir from X font path, ensure ":unscaled" is
0172     part of the path!
0173 22. Call fc-cache on top-level dir, not on each dir.
0174 23. Use "~" in Xft config and user X config files -> e.g. /home/user/.fonts -> ~/.fonts
0175 24. Remove top-level dir spec from top-level fontmap, e.g.
0176 
0177     TimesNewRomanPSMT (/home/user/.fonts/wibble/times.ttf);
0178 
0179     ...becomes...
0180 
0181     TimesNewRomanPSMT (wibble/times.ttf);
0182 
0183 25. Add meta-data for AFM files to KFile plugin.
0184 
0185 0.11-> KDE3.1
0186 =============
0187 1.  Re-design of UI - removed "Install From" view.
0188 2.  Created a KIO/thumbnail font preview class.
0189 3.  Fonts are installed/uninstalled on "Apply".
0190 4.  Settings are saved on "Apply".
0191 5.  Settings tab simplified - some uneccesary settings removed.
0192 6.  Removal of Anti-Alias tab - relevant settings moved to kcmfonts.
0193 7.  Add kfile-plugin to display Meta data for fonts.
0194 8.  Remove settings wizard.
0195 9.  Drop use of internal version numbering - not tagging CVS anyway, so whats the point?
0196 10. DCOP interface.
0197 11. Remember size of main window when run via kcmshell.
0198 
0199 0.10->0.11 (KDE3.0)
0200 ===================
0201 1.  Port to KDE3/Qt3.
0202 2.  Add support for CUPS's Fontmap.
0203 3.  Create backups of system files.
0204 4.  When install symbol encoding fonts, set encoding to "glyphs-fontspecific" in XftConfig.
0205 5.  When install monospaced fonts, set spacing to mono in XftConfig.
0206 6.  When first run (as root) - checks XFree86 config file to see if a font server is being used, if 
0207     so then fs/config is used as the config file, and "/etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs restart" is selected as
0208     as the X refresh command.
0209 7.  Only install fonts that are useable.
0210 8.  Add checkbox to enable overwriting of existing AFMs.
0211 9.  Remember open directories in advanced mode.
0212 10. Add support for .Z compressed Bitmap fonts.
0213 11. Read Type1 encodings from .afm files if listed as "array" in pfa/pfb.
0214 
0215 0.10b11->0.10
0216 =============
0217 1. Version added to KDE CVS.
0218 2. Modified some keyboard shortcuts to remove conflicts.
0219 3. Disable "Touch" and "Delete" folder if top-level X fonts dir is selected.
0220 
0221 0.10b10->0.10b11 (Test version...)
0222 ================
0223 1. Removed "root"/"Modify" and "Help" buttons - this gives more space to font lists, plus when using "root"/"Modify" root's
0224    config files are not being saved.
0225 2. "IsFixedPitch" flag in AFMs produced incorrectly - was outputing "false" for monospaced fonts!
0226 3. Added rounding to AFM metric scaling.
0227 4. When creating AFMs, check that each characters' BBox is within the main BBox - this is a quick fix for wingdings.afm,
0228    which seems to be giving incorrect results.
0229 5. StarOffice 6 / OpenOffice only need AFM files for Type1 fonts - plus no config files need to be altered. Therefore, added the ability to
0230    select which font types AFMs should be created for.
0231 6. Output *all* characters from a font into the AFM file.
0232 7. Fixed a bug with Full/Family name in Speedo fonts.
0233 8. For TrueType, Type1, and Speedo fonts - family name is obtained by using the fonts' FullName, remove FamilyName (read from file), remove
0234    any weight, width, or italic designation, and re-add FamilyName. (This is because some fonts are named 
0235    <family><weight><italic><something else>, and <something else> was previously being lost).
0236 9. When adding encodings to lists, check that they aren't alredy inserted.
0237 
0238 0.10b9->0.10b10 (Test version...)
0239 ===============
0240 1. Fixed a problem with non-enabled install button in basic mode - again, thanks to Hardy Griech for spotting this.
0241 
0242 0.10b8->0.10b9 (Test version...)
0243 ==============
0244  
0245 *** NOTE
0246 *** Please remove any Kfontinst generated StarOffice psstd.fonts and Ghostscript Fontmap output before using this version
0247 
0248 1. StarOffice psstd.fonts generated output is no longer marked line-by line, instead it is marked as a section, e.g.
0249 
0250    # kfontinst <user, if not root> /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType
0251    <fonts...>
0252    # kfontinst <user, if not root> /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType
0253 
0254    ...Likewise for Ghostscript's Fontmap
0255 
0256 2. Limited generated StarOffice psstd.fonts lines to 126 characters, and lines longher than this will not be output. It appears
0257    as if this is the max line len StarOffice will accept - thanks to Hardy Griech for discovering this.
0258 3. Fixed a bug where a static pointer was not reset to NULL when module was unloaded.
0259 4. When chekcing ps-fonts, I was looking for the string "%!PS-Adbobe", however the hershey fonts just has "%!FontType" - therefore
0260    I've change the code to just look for "%!"
0261 5. For pcf fonts, look for FAMILY as well as FAMILY_NAME
0262 6. Construct name from xlfd for bitmap fonts where can't get seperate components
0263 
0264 0.10b7->0.10b8 (Test version...)
0265 ==============
0266 
0267 *** NOTE
0268 *** Please remove any Kfontinst generated Ghostscript and/or StarOffice output before using this version
0269 
0270 1. Forgot to extract foundry from bitmap fonts - however, changed bitmap Xlfd creation, see below.
0271 2. Extract Xlfd from Bitmap fonts directly - not all fonts have each seperate component available. Thanks to Claudio Bandaloukas
0272    for helping me discover the various bugs with Bitmap output.
0273 3. When displaying bitmap details, if individual entries (family, point size, etc) can't be read, then the
0274    Xlfd will be displayed.
0275 4. Ghostscript & StarOffice include guards changed from "kfontinst" to "kfi"  -- this will *require" removing of any previous output!
0276 5. Shortened generated TrueType foundry fields - to help with StarOffice
0277 
0278 0.10b6->0.10b7 (Test version...)
0279 ==============
0280 1. Fixed a bug with string-to-width conversion for Type1 and bitmap fonts
0281 2. Fixed some compile bugs if no Xft.h found
0282 3. Remove any fonts.alias when deleting a dir
0283 4. When try to open Type1 or Speedo fonts, check magic numbers - for Speedo check char[0]=='D' or 'd', char[1]==num, char[2]=='.', and char[3]==num
0284 
0285 0.10b5->0.10b6 (Test version...)
0286 ==============
0287 1. Fonts with "Normal" weight now installed as "Medium"
0288 2. Added support for "Oblique" in xlfd
0289 3. Check is performed to see if destination is writeable before enabling "Install" button, likewise for the "Remove" button.
0290 
0291 0.10b4->0.10b5 (Test version...)
0292 ==============
0293 1. Forgot to reset the made-changes state of XftConfig when saved!
0294 2. Add a validator to math & edit line-edits to disallow usage of double-quotes & tabs
0295 3. Select correct default entries for field-name combos when adding an XftRule.
0296 4. Removed check for number of items in match list, as these are not always required (such as for the sub-pixel hinting
0297    rule.)
0298 5. When setting rgba - use symbolic name - previously always setting to 0!
0299 6. Modified help a little
0300 7. Reduced Advanced mode list-view treeStepSize to 10 pixels (from default of 20), this makes it easier for browsing
0301    /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/etc...
0302 8. Fixed bug where could not remove Xft exclude range!
0303 9. Fixed a bug where uninstalled items could cause duplicates in "Install from" list.
0304 10. Renamed the "Configure System" button to "Apply" - this should make the neccessity of the option more obvious.
0305 11. Fixed display of uninstall folder.
0306 12. Added "include" and "includeif" directives from XftConfig to editor.
0307 
0308 0.10b3->0.10b4 (Test version...)
0309 ==============
0310 
0311 *** NOTE
0312 *** Please delete your existing ~/.kde/share/config/kfontinstrc -or- ~/.kde2/share/config/kfontinstrc file
0313 *** before using this version
0314 
0315 1. Added support for X font server config files.
0316 2. Show "unscaled" directories in italic.
0317 3. Abilty to set directories as scaled/unscaled.
0318 4. Modified GUI slightly so that it works beter with Liquid style.
0319 5. Added chack to make sure XftConfig file exists before trying to parse.
0320 6. Advanced editing of XftConfig.
0321 7. Added help on XftConfig - from Danny Tholen (obiwan@mailmij.org) 
0322 8. Removed some memory leaks
0323 10. Default folders changed for non-root users. KFontinst will now (upon initial start-up) select the following:
0324 
0325      X fonts dir:    $KDEHOME/share/fonts
0326      XConfig file:   $KDEHOME/share/fonts/fontpaths
0327      XftConfig file: $HOME/.xftconfig
0328      Fontmap file:   $KDEHOME/share/fonts/Fontmap
0329 
0330    ...This should make it possible for users to install fonts without being root. However, problems may arrise when
0331    configuring StarOffice - as this requires some other files to be modified, which won't be possible if SO has been installed
0332    by root.
0333 
0334    ...Also to accomplish this, some changes are needed to 'startkde' - see file README.startkde
0335 
0336 11. Because of the above, when started as non-root, KFontinst will create Type1 and TrueType sub-folders in
0337     $KDEHOME/share/fonts - if they do not already exist.
0338 12. Moved XftConfig stuff from a sub-page of settings tab into its own tab.
0339 13. Added question dialog if module is unloaded before system has been configured.
0340 14. Added ability to "touch" a X font folder - marking it as being modified, so that a re-configure of the that folder
0341     can be done in order to create AFMs, modify encoding, etc.
0342 
0343 0.10b2->0.10b3 (Test version...)
0344 ==============
0345 1. When locating Ghostscript's Fontmap file, sub-directories (up to a level of 4) are searched - this allows
0346    for the possiblity of users using a different version of Ghostscript.
0347 2. Create a fonts.scale as well as fonts.dir - just incase another program runs mkfontdir.
0348 3. Fixed an error when creating AFMs for some symbol-encoded fonts.
0349 4. Re-worded SettingsWizard "Folders/Files" tab.
0350 5. Added a checkbox to Ghostscript configuration.
0351 6. Added support for XftConfig.
0352 7. Added/fixed support of Type1 fonts with no FullName or FamilyName fields - such as the hershey fonts.
0353 8. Fixed some bugs when configuring with --enable-final.
0354 9. Basic html help added.
0355 
0356 0.10b1->0.10b2 (Test version...)
0357 ==============
0358 1. Minor compile error (struct declared as private, but used elsewhere!)
0359 
0360 0.9.2->0.10b1 (Test version...)
0361 =============
0362 1. Almost a complete re-write,
0363 2. Handles Speedo, and Bitmap fonts
0364 3. fonts.dir & encodings.dir are now created internally - no need for ttmkfdir
0365 4. Re-design of GUI.
0366 5. Advanced mode where X11 folder structure is displayed and all font types may be installed - and a Basic
0367    mode where the X11 folder structure is hidden, and only TrueType and Type1 fonts may be installed.
0368 6. Settings wizard.
0369 7. Application is now a kcontrol module.
0370 8. Complete X11 fonts directory structure is now managed - no need for seperate 'Managed' directory.
0371 9. X11.PS is no longer created, instead the StarOffice printer file (*.PS) is now modified.
0372 10. Ported to FreeType2.
0373 11. Support more encodings - encodings combos now list standard encodings as well as those read from
0374     .enc(.gz) files.
0375 12. Internal AMF creator for Type1 and TrueType fonts - ttf2pt1 and pf2afm.ps are no longer used/supplied.
0376 13. Removed the 'Process AFMs' & 'Delete AFMs' options - all AFMs are created be KFontinst, therefore they
0377     should be OK for StarOffice and AbiWord.
0378 14. If a writable XF86Config file is found - then complete folders may be installed, and folders in the X11
0379     directory may be uninstalled or disabled (i.e. the folder is not deleted, but it's entry is removed from
0380     the XF86Config file).
0381 15. No longer supply .enc files with KFontinst - they should be provided by the distro.
0382 
0383 0.9.1->0.9.2
0384 ============
0385 1. Removed a bug where the "Configure System" menu entry was always disabled!
0386 2. Spelling error in Settings dialog.
0387 3. t1lib has problems with some of the fonts supplied with Adobe acrobat - therefore, if t1lib fails to load the
0388    font, then KFontinst itself will try to read the header information (although no preview will be available,
0389    everything else should still work).
0390 4. Fixed multiple installing of programs in other/ directory. For instance KFontinst's version of ttmkfdir
0391    was being installed into $(PREFIX) (usually /usr/bin) as well as $(KDE_DATADIR)/kfontinst - this was incorrect
0392    as KFontinst will only use the version in $(KDE_DATADIR)/kfontinst, and it was possible that a previous version
0393    of ttmkfdir (such as that supplied with XFree86) would have been overwritten.
0394 5. Fixed bug where the user was allowed to select (and subsequently install) fonts which could not be loaded correctly.
0395 6. Added the ability to enter a custom preview string.
0396 
0397 0.9->0.9.1
0398 ==========
0399 1. Fixed a few compile errors.
0400 2. Fix to html formatting error.
0401 3. Fixed a ./configure error if t1lib was not found (the string NO was being used as the
0402    librarary name, instead of an empty string!)
0403 4. Modified the reading of Type1 header information.
0404 
0405 0.8.3->0.9
0406 ==========
0407 1. Converted to KDE2.
0408 2. Rearranged this file!
0409 3. Removed command line interface - KDE2's command line stuff is way different!
0410 4. Re-created dialogs with Qt designer.
0411 5. Removed ProgressDialog, and replaced with a progress bar on a new statusbar.
0412 6. Modified configure script to check for FreeType & t1lib.
0413 7. If an encoding (not unicode) is selected, then the .enc file is copied to the X11 fonts directory.
0414 8. As with the .enc files, the StarOffice .xpp files are also copied, and no longer just sym linked.
0415 9. Removed enabling/disabing of Configure System button.
0416 10. Fontmap.X11 is no longer created, instead the real Fontmap file itself is modified.
0417 
0418 0.8.2->0.8.3
0419 ============
0420 1. Modified 'kfontinst.kdelnk' so that kdesu is now used - so that a user will automatically be prompted
0421    for the root password.
0422 2. Modified dialogs to use the KDE caption ("Font Installer") instead of the app name ("kfontinst")
0423 3. Corrected size of Configure dialog.
0424 4. Fixed a minor bug where if all fonts were uninstalled, the 'Configure System' button was disabled - therefore not
0425    allowing you to activate the changes!
0426 5. Added a command line interface. (type 'kfontinst --help' for details)
0427 6. Added option to automatically fix TTF postscript names upon install.
0428 
0429 0.8.1->0.8.2
0430 ============
0431 1. Fixed a bug which always had SO configuration disabled!
0432 2. Fixed a bug when selecting Unicode encoding.
0433 3. Changed "Fonts/Uninstalled" menu entry to "Fonts/Disk"
0434 4. Added keyboard short-cuts to dialogs
0435 
0436 0.8->0.8.1
0437 ==========
0438 1. Fixed a bug where X configuration would fail if no TT fonts present.
0439 2. If no fonts are installed, then the system configuration button/menu-entry is now disabled.
0440 3. Changed menu structure to add 'Fonts' menu.
0441 
0442 0.7.4->0.8
0443 ==========
0444 1. Changed location of StarOffice stuf from <dir on settings dialog>/xp3 to just
0445    <dir on settings dialog> -- As StarOffice 5.2 has 'xp3' within a 'share' sub-dir.
0446 2. Changed structure of config file to be more modular.
0447 3. Modified internal code structure to allow easier additon of extra apps to be configured. (NOTE: If any
0448    apps need to be configured, then I'll also [later on] modify the Settings & Configure dialogs to
0449    accomodate these.)
0450 4. Because of 3, added a 'StarOffice' check to the settings dialog. If this is not seleted, then no check
0451    is performed to make sure the SO dir is OK - and the option to config SO is diabled on the config dialog.
0452 5. Added check when installing font to make sure that it's not already installed.
0453 
0454 0.7.3->0.7.4
0455 ============
0456 1. Changed location of Fontmap.X11 -- from <directory on settings dialog>/lib/Fontmap.X11 to
0457    <directory on settings dialog>/Fontmap.X11. As it seems some ghostscript installations don't
0458    have the 'lib' sub directory.
0459 2. Improved the documentation a little - added a FAQ section
0460 
0461 0.7.2->0.7.3
0462 ============
0463 1. Very minor bug fix.
0464 
0465 0.7.1->0.7.2
0466 ============
0467 1. Added more detailed error messages when system configuration fails.
0468 
0469 0.7->0.7.1
0470 ==========
0471 1. Removed lots of debug info from ttf2pt1, and afm.pl -- this should drastically speed up afm creation.
0472 2. Modified ttf2pt1 to accept a parameter to just create .afm files
0473 3. Added option to modify a .afm file when installing.
0474 4. Added "Unicode" to list of encodings that can be used.
0475 5. Removed kfontinst-cp1252.enc, kfontinst-cp1252.xpp -- these were hacks anyway, and seing as Qt2 is going to 
0476    support cp1252 by a hard-coded codec, there's no real point...
0477 6. Rearranged the Configure System dialog - so that Force AFM regeneration is grouped next to the Generate AFMs option.
0478 7. Encoding files now stored in <KDEDIR>/share/apps/kfontinst/Encodings
0479 
0480 0.6.1->0.7
0481 ==========
0482 1. Modified ttmkfdir & ttf2pt1 to allow usage of X11 style font re-encoding files.
0483 2. Because .enc files are now used by kfontinst, removed the possibility of using gzipped encodings.
0484 3. Added the ability to delete an installed font's .afm file.
0485 4. Fixed a bug in the TtfPsNameFixer class - this would cause ttf2pt1 to creash when accessing a modified font!
0486 5. Font encodings are now stored in <KDEDir>/share/x11encodings
0487 6. Removed the reencode shell script, as the encodng is all done by ttmkfdir.
0488 7. Removed xfinst shell script - handled internally.
0489 8. Supplied a kfontinst-cp1252 encoding - with the ugly single-quotes normaly found in .ttf files remapped to
0490    the nice looking ones.
0491 9. Added functionality, when configuring StarOffice, to select an appropriate xprinter.prolog for the selected
0492    encoding (if one exists)...
0493 
0494 0.6->0.6.1
0495 ==========
0496 1. Fixed a display bug in the 'Un/Exclude from StarOffice" options.
0497 
0498 0.5->0.6
0499 ========
0500 1. Added the ability to 'fix' the postscript names in a ttf file.
0501 2. Fixed some missing changes to help files.
0502 
0503 0.4->0.5
0504 ========
0505 1. Discovered a patch that modifies StarOffice's xprinter.prolog so that font's don't need to be modified
0506    to use the microsoft cp1252 enocding scheme. (Previosuly the PS output from StarOffice would not print
0507    OK with ghostscript - when using extra characters - unless the .ttf file was modified.)
0508 2. Because of 1, removed the abilty to modify a TrueType font's internal charactermap - this was a hack anyway.
0509 3. xfinst now uses mkfontdir to create encodings.dir - instead of kfontinst's install procedure copying a standard
0510    one in (this didn't actually work...)
0511 4. As kfontinst no longer reads the .enc files themselves, added the ability to use .enc.gz files as well
0512    when selecting an encoding for X. 
0513 5. Re-wrote xfinst & reencode to be plain 'sh' scripts, as opposed to 'tcsh' scripts. 
0514 
0515 0.3->0.4
0516 ========
0517 1. All X fonts will now be placed with in a directory - "Managed" - this makes things easier for
0518    AbiWord, and maybe others.
0519 2. encodings.dir & Encodings/ will now be placed within this new "Managed" dir.
0520 3. Only 1 StarOffice .PS file will be created - X11.PS
0521 4. Only 1 Fontmap will be created - Fontmap.X11 - and this will be placed within
0522    <Ghostscript>/lib
0523 5. Because of 4, an option has been added to the Settings dialog to specify the location of
0524    Ghostscript.
0525 6. Because of 1, removed the font option from the Configure dialog.
0526 7. Fixed an error with getting PS name from TT font - PS names are not allowed to have spaces, but in
0527    fences.ttf it does. FontEngine.cpp will now check for, and fix, this - using the same 'algorithm' as that
0528    of ttf2pt1 (which means the names will tie up with those in the .afm files).
0529 8. Added some improvements to control of dialogs.
0530 
0531 0.2.1->0.3
0532 ==========
0533 1. Reverted back to naming .afm files <fontname>.afm - and renaming any conflicting fonts.
0534 2. Speeded up copying of files - by copying preview bitmap as opposed to regenerating it!
0535 3. Removed need for FontMetrics directory - .afm files now placed within TrueType or Type1 dir,
0536    and sym links are produced for StarOffice.
0537 
0538    1. & 3. should now make things easier for AbiWord.
0539 
0540 4. Fixed output of Fontmap so that "URW Gothic" will be aliased as "UrwGothic-Roman" (etc.) as
0541    this is what Qt will output.
0542 5. Added more processing of .afm files - this makes them OK for AbiWord.
0543 
0544 0.2->0.2.1
0545 ==========
0546 1. Modified start-up progress dailog, and added progress dialogs to main window when scanning
0547    fonts. These will only appear if numTTfonts>X || numT1fonts>Y
0548 
0549 0.1->0.2
0550 ========
0551 1. Combined views of installed TrueType and Type1 fonts into 1 list.
0552 2. When uninstalling a font, can now move the font to another directory - or delete.
0553 3. Used t1lib so that Type1 fonts can also be previewed.
0554 4. Changed Fontmap creator to dynamically allocate memory for each font-category.
0555 5. .afm files are now named as <fontname>.<fontextension>.afm - this removes the need
0556    for renaming the .afm file if there exists Type1 and TrueType fonts with the same
0557    fontname.
0558 6. Removed the re-scanning of the install directories whenever a font is added.
0559 7. Added support for extra Type1 font weights.
0560 8. Added a start-up screen to inform the user that the installed/disk fonts are being scanned.
0561 9. When exiting, confirmation is now only asked if the system has been changed and not
0562    reconfigured.
