After some fiddling around with postscript, I finally got the printing to work with FreeType. To a certain degree, of course: Doesn't do unicode yet (that's rather complicated), doesn't do TrueType (Type 42 -- that should be easy, though), doesn't do fonts with spaces in their names.
At the same time, I did some much-needed cleanup in the PS renderer. I made it two-pass, where the first pass creates the prolog (collects fonts for now, but could also find characters for partial fonts, or even create definitions for common colors, line widths etc that could make a smaller ps file)[1]. This may break Unicode, I'm not sure. I shall be investigate now. Please bang on the printing code a bit to get the bugs out. -Lars [1] Does anyone know of a way to have images defined in the prolog so you only need to include them once? The scaffolding for such is now there, but I'm afraid of the binary include things. -- Lars Clausen (http://shasta.cs.uiuc.edu/~lrclause)| H�rdgrim of Numenor "I do not agree with a word that you say, but I |---------------------------- will defend to the death your right to say it." | Where are we going, and --Evelyn Beatrice Hall paraphrasing Voltaire | what's with the handbasket? _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list
