So I was a bit reluctant to submit a patch. Did you check with him? Cheers, and thanks a lot RalfD > BTW if you know about other stuff I forgot to add to cl-pdf/cl-typesetting please let me know. > > Marc > > On 3/2/06, 17:33, Peter Heslin wrote: > A couple of weeks ago, Zach Beane announced the release of his zpb-ttf library for reading TrueType Unicode font files. cl-pdf already has support for using these fonts, but the metrics have to be read in via a "ufm" file, which has to be generated with a hacked version of ttf2pt1 -- a less than ideal situation. So I tried to get zpb-ttf to load the ttf font metrics. I'll attach the file I came up with, which now allows a pure Lisp solution to using truetype fonts in cl-pdf. I've tested it on just a few fonts, but it seems to work fine. Health warning: I don't have a deep understanding of all of the parts of this code, much of which was munged around and adapted from various parts of font-metrics.lisp. It would be good if someone else who understands the issues were to review it. One thing I did notice is that zpb-ttf reports a different value for the font's descender, as compared to the ufm file generated by ttf2pt1. Also, I used zpb-ttf's line-gap for (leading font-metric), but that's a guess. > >_______________________________________________ cl-pdf-devel site list cl-pdf-devel@common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/mailman/listinfo/cl-pdf-devel -- R.
