----------------------------------------
Summary: Enhance TTF/OTF support beyond Windows
Key: FOP-2540
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2540
Project: FOP
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: font/opentype
Affects Versions: 2.0
Environment: OS X
Reporter: Andreas L. Delmelle
Assignee: Andreas L. Delmelle
Priority: Minor
Currently, cmap tables in TTF/OTF are only supported for Platform ID = 3, i.e.
MS Windows. There is no support for Platform ID = 0, i.e. basic Unicode, or 1,
i.e. Macintosh.
This makes quite some system fonts bundled with OS X supposedly unusable. The
solution is fairly trivial (patch proposal will be attached shortly), provided
the cmap table format in the font is already supported. FOP currently only has
support for cmap format 4 (segment to delta mapping), but this seems to suffice
for most of the Unicode cmaps as well.
See also FOP-2539, which triggered me to investigate this closer.
