[Notion-general] Xft fonts in Notion

[Arnout E. <no...@bz...>]

Hello,

Thanks to many people involved, we now have a Notion branch with Xft
support.

If Xft support is detected at compile time, all font handling is done
through Xft, even for 'traditional' fonts: there should not need to be a
visible difference.

However, on some systems loading bitmap fonts through Xft is disabled.
Remove /etc/fonts/conf.d/70-no-bitmaps.conf to enable loading bitmap fonts
through fontconfig/Xft.

I'd like to invite all of you to test this branch and report any doubts you
may have about merging this patch into master. Get the code with:

$ git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/notion/notion notion
$ cd notion
$ git branch xft remotes/origin/xft


Kind regards,

Arnout
