Plugins don't even need to directly access any fontconfig stuff. They can use cFont::GetAvailableFontNames() to get all of the available font names, and create their own fonts with cFont::CreateFont().
yeah ok,
but this make it depend on >=vdr-1.5.3 imho,
should included code parts eg. (cFont::GetAvailableFontNames()) in plugins directly then not work on older vdr versions too ?
Anyway, my thoughts on it are, this font handling should be generally fixed/changed in plugins, not only in depend from vdr-1.5.3
Klaus, maybe you can backport this functions on vdr-1.4.* That makes it plugin devs more easily, they still for the vdr-1.5.x refuses itself ;)
