Modules can now be disabled by using <link
|
|
xlink:href="https://nixos.org/nixpkgs/manual/#sec-replace-modules">
|
|
disabledModules</link>, allowing another to take it's place. This can be
|
|
used to import a set of modules from another channel while keeping the
|
|
rest of the system on a stable release.

Updated to FreeType 2.7.1, including a new TrueType engine.
|
|
The new engine replaces the Infinality engine which was the default in
|
|
NixOS. The default font rendering settings are now provided by
|
|
fontconfig-penultimate, replacing fontconfig-ultimate; the new defaults
|
|
are less invasive and provide rendering that is more consistent with
|
|
other systems and hopefully with each font designer's intent. Some
|
|
system-wide configuration has been removed from the Fontconfig NixOS
|
|
module where user Fontconfig settings are available.
