Follow-up Comment #9, bug #63018 (group groff): Hi Dave,
[comment #8 comment #8:] > To clarify: my objection isn't the stale afmtodit version It is nevertheless a legitimate one. We should be dogfooding the font description files that _afmtodit_ generates. We also should not be advertising a file as automatically generated when it was hand-crafted. > (I doubt refreshing the file will change the data), If you mean re-running it as of _groff_ 1.23.0 or recent Git, I agree: probably not. > but that the line claims afmtodit generated it at all: once Deri's ZD is committed, precious little of its content will be from afmtodit. I understood Deri as proposing to update "dingbats.map" _and_ regenerating the ZD file using _afmtodit_ with it... [comment #5 comment #5:] > Probably the best way of doing this is by adding to dingbats.map, a suitable one is attached (to replace the one in font/devps/generate). Also attached is a replacement ZD file to be placed in fonts/devps. ...hence the characterization of the "ZD" file as supplementary; I assume it was a demonstrator and/or a convenience for people who didn't want to fiddle with coming up with an _afmtodit_ command invocation themselves. > Doing make will propagate the changes to devpdf and when U-ZD is created it will use the new dingbats.map. This matches my understanding. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?63018> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
