Some notes:
- proftpd has been supporting PCRE2 since 1.3.8a.
- bluefish actually invokes PCRE via Glib, so since Glib was ported
from PCRE1 to PCRE2 bluefish has been using PCRE2 in fact.
- zsh and rasqal will support PCRE2 in the next release. For zsh pcre
is not used with book instruction anyway, and for rasqal the
maintainer suggests just relying on Glibc regex.h before the next
release.
- The other distros (Fedora for eg) are already disabling PCRE for
slang.
TTF-and-OTF-fonts - make CJK fonts a section2 so that it is
slightly bigger than the other items. Everything after it, either
re languages or specific fonts, is logically part of CJK fonts.
No change in indexing (i.e. CJK fonts itself is not indexed).
I reworked the paragraph about Unicode coverage, but left the
original in place while working on it, and then forgot to remove
it, causing an almost duplicate paragraph.
Explain that some recent fonts have TTF files with hinting, and
OTF files without. Expand the comment in TTF-and-OTF-fonts to
explain why OTF should be preferred, and link to previous page
for why hinting can be undesirable or unusable.
Rework second fc-match example:
'fcmatch -a TYPE | less' is useless: -a functions similarly to
fc-list, any following parameter is ignored. So the example listed
all installed font-style-weight combinations for all three TYPEs.
Replace by plain fc-match TYPE.
Remove TYPE specification from introductory paragraph, it is only
used for the replacement command here. Use the same markup for the
command and in the explanations, so that a capital TYPE in the
explanations is replaced by a smaller slanted TYPE.
The command after this shows a fuller variant with the type, lang
and weight being specified.
Typos, rewordings, put the conf file edits in <screen> blocks to
stand out, add details re GNOME Tweaks and Thunderbird.
I think I made a slight change to one of the wordings, but I now
forget which.
Outstanding item: 'fc-match -a Type | less' wording made me unsure
of exactly which variants of Sans Sasn-serif would be accepted.
Trying to test this (I have far too many fonts on current system)
appeared to act as if hte Type was being ignored. Need to think
about this.
We use <application> in the markup for all package names. Do that
consistently for rendered text on these pages, except when referring
to a version of a package.
