VDR developer version 1.5.4 is now available at
ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.5.4.tar.bz2
A 'diff' against the previous developer version is available at
ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.5.3-1.5.4.diff
WARNING: ========
This is a *developer* version. Even though *I* use it in my productive environment, I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled conditions and for testing and debugging.
The changes since version 1.5.3:
- Increased APIVERSION (forgot to do that in 1.5.2 and 1.5.3). - Fixed a crash in i18n character set conversion (thanks to Alexander Riedel, Jose Alberto Reguero and Christian Wieninger for patches that cured part of the problem). - Adjusted the 'skincurses' plugin to UTF-8 handling. - Using nl_langinfo(CODESET) to determine the local codeset to use (thanks to Thomas Günther). The codeset names in 'libsi/si.c' have been changed to the canonical spelling with '-' (thanks to Ludwig Nussel for pointing this out). - Modified handling invalid characters in VFAT mode. - Replaced strn0cpy() with Utf8Strn0Cpy() where necessary. - Now using 'fontconfig' to determine which fonts to use (thanks to Anssi Hannula for code and hints on how to do this). - If no fonts are installed, VDR now uses a dummy font that doesn't actually draw any text, and logs an error message. - The new function cFont::CreateFont() can be used by plugins to create and use fonts of their own, independent of VDR's standard fonts. - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Changed the parameter "OSD font" to "Default font" in "Setup/OSD" (suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed handling detached processes in SystemExec() (thanks to Udo Richter). - The info.vdr file now also stores the name of the channel, and the new function cRecordingInfo::ChannelName() returns this information if available (based on a patch from Alexander Hans). - The new function cOsd::SetOsdPosition() can be used to dynamically change the position and size of the OSD (based on a request from Christoph Haubrich). Plugins that implement skins should no longer use Setup.OSDWidth etc. directly, but should rather use cOsd::OsdWidth() etc. instead. Currently a change to the OSD position will only apply to newly opened OSDs.
Have fun!

- Now using 'fontconfig' to determine which fonts to use (thanks to Anssi Hannula for code and hints on how to do this).
char *s = (char *)FcNameUnparse(fontset->fonts[i]);if (s) {// Strip i18n stuff:char *p = strchr(s, ',');if (p)*p = 0;
Dropping everything after ',' seems correct, but AFAICS it should be processed separately for the family name and style.
Currently, AFAICS, DejaVu Sans,DejaVu Sans Condensed:style=Condensed Oblique,Oblique becomes DejaVu Sans while I think it should become DejaVu Sans:style=Condensed Oblique
Otherwise seems fine to me :)
The fontconfig subdir is missing from both vdr-1.5.4.tar.bz2 and the 1.5.3->1.5.4 diff.

Looks like I don't have any font here that has a comma in its name, so I hope I got this right.
Can you please verify the attached patch?

I don't really use VDR 1.5 yet, but I tried to run the attached test program. However, it segfaults in *p = 0. I also tested the previous implementation quoted above, and it segfaults similarly.

you try to write into a constant string.
This would work:
char *s; s=strdup("DejaVu Sans,DejaVu Sans Condensed:style=Condensed Oblique,Oblique");

Right.
It works correctly.
