If I understand, all encodings are enabled by default, which forced you to hunt down the list of encodings to disable. With this patch, you can control the "default" encoding enablement. You can have all encodings disabled by default, allowing you to only specify the ones you know and care about. Have you tested permutations of enable/disable all-encodings and enable/disable iso8859-2 for example? This patch is modifying the public interface of the font-util package, so it will require a version bump and a release. The "Minimum version" in the patch comment need to reflect this new value (1.2) Any package using font-util and the new configure option will need to upgrade this statement: <BLOCKQUOTE> <PRE> m4_ifndef([XORG_FONT_MACROS_VERSION],   [m4_fatal([must install X.Org font-util 1.1 or later before running autoconf/autogen])]) XORG_FONT_MACROS_VERSION(1.1) </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> Coincidentally, another font-util patch requiring a version bump has been posted on the list. <A HREF="http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2010-October/013772.html">http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2010-October/013772.html</A> They should be part of the same version bump.
