# gdtools 0.5.0

## New features

- New font management API: `font_set()`, `font_set_liberation()`, and 
`font_set_auto()` provide a unified way to configure font aliases, register 
fonts with 'systemfonts', and generate 'htmlDependency' objects in a single step. 
Helper functions `font_google()` and `font_liberation()` declare individual font sources.

## changes

- `register_liberationsans()`, `register_liberationserif()` and
`register_liberationmono()` gain a `name` parameter to register
Liberation fonts under a custom family name (e.g. `"sans"`, `"serif"`,
`"mono"`). Default values are unchanged.
- remove unused `str_extents()`.
- remove C++ exported interface as no package uses `LinkingTo: gdtools` anymore.

## issues

- fix face mapping in `strings_sizes()`: italic text was incorrectly
measured as bold-italic (face 4 instead of face 3).
- `strings_sizes()` now re-uses Cairo text measurement instead of
`systemfonts::string_metrics_dev()`. Callers no longer need a ragg
device open for accurate metrics. The measurements are accurate for
devices that use Cairo or 'systemfonts' (ragg, svglite, ggiraph,
`cairo_pdf()`, ...).

# gdtools 0.4.4

- add tools to use fonts 'Liberation Serif' and 'Liberation Mono'.
- deprecate `set_dummy_conf()` that should be removed from the package in a later version.
- remove `raster_*` functions not used anymore

# gdtools 0.4.2

- Windows: use cairo from Rtools if available on recent R versions

# gdtools 0.4.1

- specify systemfonts version shoud be 1.1.0 (#71)

# gdtools 0.4.0

## Changes

- Move 'gfonts' and 'curl' in 'Suggests' dependencies so that it can
be used with 'webR'.

# gdtools 0.3.6

## Changes

- update 'Google Fonts' font database

# gdtools 0.3.5

## Issues

- fix -Wformat-security issue under r-devel

## New features

- `install_gfont_script()` can now directly generate a script
file ready to be executed to install a 'Google Font', use
argument `file`.

# gdtools 0.3.4

## Changes

- update to libcairo 1.18
- use dontrun macro to avoid CRAN errors

# gdtools 0.3.3

## Issues

- no more calls to `gfonts::get_all_fonts()`. This should enable usage
for those with no access to website used by 'gfonts'.

# gdtools 0.3.2

## New features

- new function `installed_gfonts()` to list installed font from 'Google'

# gdtools 0.3.1

# gdtools 0.3.0

## New features

- The package now allows to download and work with Google Fonts thanks to the
'gfonts' and 'systemfonts' package. This is very useful for managing fonts with
graphics produced with 'ragg', 'svglite' and 'ggiraph' but also with 'flextable'
tables. Finally, it is possible to easily embed these fonts in HTML documents.
