Revision history for Font-Metrics
0.03 2026-07-24
- Build and install libfm$(LIB_EXT) static archive alongside the shared
object so downstream XS modules (e.g. Layout::Flex) can link fm_*
symbols at static-link time; fixes undefined symbol errors on Linux
where -undefined dynamic_lookup is unavailable.
0.02 2026-07-23
- Export fm_* C symbols with dl_load_flags (RTLD_GLOBAL) so downstream
XS modules can link against them at load time.

hhea, OS/2, and kern (format 0) table parsing.
