Thanks a lot. I'll make this fix available with the source, and
integrate it in the next version.
JC> It complains that it could not find encoding ascii-0
That's a ttmkfdir weirdness. The FreeType 1 backend did behave in the
same manner (falling back to ISO 8859-1), but didn't complain unless
compiled with debugging. I've decided to be more verbose about errors
in this version.
JC> cff otf fonts still will not load.
I do not have access to any OpenType/CFF fonts. If you can point me
to some that are available on the web, I'll see what the problem is.
JC> I've now also tested with the backend loaded into the x server. Type1
JC> fonts seem to have incorrect bounding boxes, per xfd(1x) output.
You mean incorrect glyph metrics, or incorrect font-level metrics?
I know of at least one problem: I transform the Type 1 font-level
metrics by 1000*I rather than by the font's matrix as should be.
You'll get incorrect font-level metrics for any font that uses a
non-standard font matrix.
There are probably other problems: I've really done almost no testing
yet.
JC> Would an fslsfonts output provide some help here?
Thanks for the offer, but it's premature; if you still see issues with
the next version (no schedule), we will want to discuss them.
Thanks to both of you for the feedback,
Juliusz
