Regression - Application fonts ignored by Pango > 1.47 - Commit 95022977
Commit 95022977 seems to break rendering of fonts added by the application?
FcConfigAppFontAddFile/FcConfigAppFontAddDir no longer have any effect with current Pango versions.
The font viewer component of https://github.com/FontManager/font-manager is rendered completely useless by this change. While we could do our own rendering it doesn't make much sense to since Pango is already there and ensures that WYSIWYG as far previews go.
Can this please be reverted?
Another option would be to add API to allow applications to notify Pango that the configuration changed but this doesn't seem like a great option unless this really provides a huge improvement for most use cases.
Either way would work though.
