It seems that my smtp/pop server has decided to not colaborate today... I've send a few hours ago an email saying basically that I've written a little app for testing my thoughts on WYSIWYG layouts.
In this app, you can write text, and it will be layed out using linearly scaled metrics and (20 pixels below) using the current AbiWord algorithm. I then compared a screenshot of this program with the layout of MS Word. MS Word matches the layout using linearly scaled metrics pixel by pixel, except for a little 1-pixel off in some characters, that I think is due to MS Word truncating when it should round. sshot at http://www.ie2.u-psud.fr/~cuenca/abi_vs_word.png My email explaining all that in detail will hit the mailing list sooner or later, so I will not repeat all the details here. Comments? Cheers, ===== Joaquin Cuenca Abela [EMAIL PROTECTED] __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
