------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Apr 9 09:14:33 -0700 2005 ------- Hi all! Some new stuff, or better report on the current milestone m91. I have tested m91 with my fonts and found, that it is getting worse ;-) First some explanation: There are three (maybe more) types of professional font sets: class 1a: SmallCaps&OsF, example: Palatino:style=Small Caps & Old Style Figures, these fonts contain the Capitals at the right places, old-style numerals with afm names "one" "two" ... at the position of the numbers, and SmallCaps with afm names "a" "b" etc at the positions of the lower case letters class 1b: OsF, example: Palatino:style=Italic Old Style Figures, these fonts contain the Capitals at the right places, old-style numerals with afm names "one" "two" ... at the position of the numbers, and normal lower case letters at the right positions (difference to 1a: no small caps!) Class 2: Expert sets, example: Minion:style=Regular Expert, but also Utopia:style=Expert Regular, these fonts contain old style numerals with afm names "oneoldstyle" "twooldstyle" .. at the positions of the numbers, Small Caps with afm names "Asmall" "Bsmall" etc at the position of the lower case letters, but now upper case letters. So, I made tests with M91 and these three types: class 1a and 1b now are shown correct on screen, are printed correctly, but NOT correctly exported to pdf (interestingly! but true). The Expert font can not be selected to get real caps or oldstyle numerals. For class 2 I got very mixed results: None of it goes correctly to the printer nor into the pdf files, so all of them just are not right. But Minion and Adobe Garamond are displayed correct, while Utopia completely collapses and is displayed in fixed font (in 2pt or something, unreadable). Here the expert fonts can be selected for AGaramond and Minion, and correctly show caps/oldstyle nums. So you are partly on the way to fixing it, but the there are still several problems: - Parsing of the font names is still very problematic. Some fontnames just make the parser go havoc (Expert Utopia). - Printing/PDF making still is a real problem, definitely not usable - Usage of class 1 variant fonts is not possible, while those of class 2 variants is usable. Best wishes, and I hope I can help you a bit!
