[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: fontconfig-2.11.1-1

[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: fontconfig-2.11.1-1

[Yaakov (Cygwin/X)]

The following packages have been updated for the Cygwin distribution:

*** fontconfig-2.11.1-1
*** libfontconfig1-2.11.1-1
*** libfontconfig-devel-2.11.1-1

Fontconfig is a library designed to provide system-wide font 
configuration, customization and application access.

This is an update to the latest upstream release.  The Windows font 
directory has been removed from the default fonts path due to issues 
caused by stale caches; a separate package to add it to the path, as 
well as keep the cache current automatically, should be available soon.

You also removed /usr/share/ghostscript/fonts, 
/usr/share/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype, 
/usr/share/texmf-dist/fonts/truetype, and 
/usr/share/texmf-dist/fonts/type1.  Was that intentional?

Yes, because it seems that they would also have this issue because 
nothing in the providing packages updates the cache.  (cygport only 
generates fontconfig postinstall scripts for /usr/share/fonts.)

I don't know about the ghostscript fonts, but cygport does generate the 
appropriate fc-cache commands in the postinstall scripts for the 
texlive-collection-* packages that install fonts.  This is done in 
__prep_texlive() in src_postinst.cygpart.
