# Wished features for 0.28

   * No code, still doesn't need review :D 

# Documentation

There is currently very little documentation. Poppler comes with multiple frontends (APIs). For the glib and Qt4 frontends there is some reference. 

**Qt4:**  <http://people.freedesktop.org/~aacid/docs/qt4/> 

**Qt5:**  <http://people.freedesktop.org/~aacid/docs/qt5/> 

**Glib:**  <http://people.freedesktop.org/~ajohnson/docs/poppler-glib/> 

**C++:** <https://oinksoft.com/doc/poppler/cpp/> (rebuilt nightly from git)

# Suggested Fontconfig font substitutions

Poppler is using fontconfig to do the font searching on the system for fonts that are not embedded into the pdf files. This is a list of recommended font substitutions that distributions/users should have in their fontconfig configuration 

    Font A -> Font B
    Symbol -> Standard Symbols L
    ZapfDingbats -> Dingbats
    
To do the substitution use

    <alias>
        <family>Font A</family>
        <accept><family>Font B</family></accept>
    </alias>
    
If that does not work for you use
    
    <match target="pattern">
     <test name="family">
      <string>Font A</string>
     </test>
     <edit name="family" mode="prepend" binding="same">
      <string>Font B</string>
     </edit>
    </match>
    
but what you should do is warn your distribution to improve their default fontconfig configuration

Both fonts come in the Free Type1 URW fonts package and is very probable distributions already ship it. 

This list probably should go somewhere into the tarball when it's more complete.
