feh-3.13.tar.bz2 (signature)
- Switch default font from yudit to NotoSans Medium, and bundle its ttf
file with feh. NotoSans has much better Unicode support than yudit,
covering pretty much all of Latin, Cyrillic and Greek scripts. Note that
it does not support Chinese, Japanese and Korean scripts -- please use
the (not-yet-bundled) Noto CJK font family for those.
yudit.ttf remains
present to retain compatibility with users who have hardcoded it in
themes, shell aliases, and feh commands in general.
- Add new "make install" option:
install_fonts=0 (default 1) skips
installation of the bundled NotoSans-Medium.ttf and yudit.ttf files
to font_dir. This may be helpful for distributions who wish to introduce
a dependency on a system-wide NotoSans package instead. Note that this
will increase feh's dependency footprint by far more than the single ttf
file it uses, though. You should also make provisions to retain
yudit.ttf where feh expects it (see above).
- The
font_path used within "make" can now be overridden from the
commandline.
