It contains two essential modules, the configuration module which builds an internal configuration from XML files and the matching module which accepts font patterns and returns the nearest matching font. License: Freely Distributable Changes: Shared mmap'ed cache files. All font cache files are mapped read-only and shared across multiple processes. The startup performance and memory footprint of the library have, as a result, been significantly improved. Configuration is split into multiple files.

The new configuration structure places most of the configuration into separate files.
