The "GoogleSummerOfCode2012/TrueTypeFontsinAfp" page has been changed by Mehdi Houshmand: http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/GoogleSummerOfCode2012/TrueTypeFontsinAfp Comment: TrueType fonts in AFP project proposal New page: = Google Summer of Code Project Proposal: TrueType fonts in AFP = == Motivation == Currently when custom fonts are used for AFP documents the only fonts that are allowed are APF-format specific. Many of these use the antiquated EBCDIC encoding and have license restrictions, which is obviously a serious impediment when using the AFP document format. TrueType and OpenType fonts are a much better supported standard and provide much better freedom in terms of licenses and availability for users. The MOD:CA specification allows TrueType fonts to be used within AFP documents and FOP already provides a library for reading and handling TrueType fonts. This project would expose applicants to various specifications (TTF, OTF, AFP, XSL-FO) and would teach them how to design software in enterprise products and adherence to standardized specifications. All code will be written in Java (currently Java5). == Schedule == This would need to be discussed with applicants. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
