Tilman Hausherr created BATIK-1109:
--------------------------------------
Summary: svggen.font.SVGFont doesn't always calculate the correct
path
Key: BATIK-1109
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BATIK-1109
Project: Batik
Issue Type: Bug
Components: SVGGraphics2D
Reporter: Tilman Hausherr
We at PDFBox have used the code at
https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/xmlgraphics/batik/trunk/sources/org/apache/batik/svggen/font/SVGFont.java?view=markup
for TT font rendering. There've been some problems (see PDFBOX-1435, scroll to
second half), and after bugfixes didn't work (see PDFBOX-1206), I had the idea
to create a SVG file by hand with the calculations mentioned in the file.
I calculated the SVG values for the outer circle of that "o" of PDFBOX-1435
with the Batik source and added 100 to each y value (before I found out that
svg allows translating). Here's the svg file I get:
{code}
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd";>
<svg width="12cm" height="12cm" viewBox="0 0 1200 1200"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"; version="1.1">
<rect x="1" y="1" width="1000" height="1000"
fill="none" stroke="blue" stroke-width="1" />
<g transform="scale(7)">
<path d="M85,53 T74,49 T54,48.5 T39.5,59.5 T35.5,76.5 T44,94 T62,102 T79.5,97
T89.5,82.5 T88.5,63 Z"
fill="none" stroke="red" stroke-width="5" />
</g>
</svg>
{code}
This can be displayed with firefox, and this "o" has an angle :-( The reason is
that the Batik algorithm doesn't work for contours made entirely with off-curve
points.
I didn't actually run the Batik code, the calculations were done on paper.
Further thoughts on the TT patch drawing algorithm can be found at PDFBOX-1206.
We ended up using the code from PDF.js, and maybe you should too :-)
