Red Bear OS is a full fork. All sources must be available from git clone with zero network access. Removed gitignore rules that excluded fetched source trees under recipes/*/source/, local/recipes/kde/*/source/, local/recipes/qt/*/source/, and vendor source trees. Build artifacts (target/, build/, source.tar, *.o, *.so) remain excluded. 127291 files added — kernel, relibc, base, bootloader, pkgar, all KDE/Qt frameworks, mesa, wayland, DRM drivers, and every other recipe source.

## About Fontconfig
|
|
|
|
Fontconfig can:
|
|
|
|
* discover new fonts when installed automatically, removing a common source of configuration problems.
|
|
* perform font name substitution, so that appropriate alternative fonts can be selected if fonts are missing.
|
|
* identify the set of fonts required to completely cover a set of languages.
|
|
* have GUI configuration tools built as it uses an XML-based configuration file (though with autodiscovery, we believe this need is minimized).
|
|
* efficiently and quickly find the fonts you need among the set of fonts you have installed, even if you have installed thousands of fonts, while minimizing memory usage.
|
|
* be used in concert with the X Render Extension and [FreeType](https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/FreeType/) to implement high quality, anti-aliased and subpixel rendered text on a display.
|
|
|
|
Fontconfig does not:
|
|
|
|
* render the fonts themselves (this is left to FreeType or other rendering mechanisms)
|
|
* depend on the X Window System in any fashion, so that printer only applications do not have such dependencies
