Now I'm drown in PostScript specification :), could you tell how or where can I find documents on the way FOP uses font metric file & embeded font with pdf ouput, and what's the current way of FOP deals with font metric file & post-script output. I hope that someone can help me, it would be a lots more easier than looking at the source code.
thanks, Thang. -----Original Message----- From: Vincent Hennebert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 05, 2006 5:06 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: FOP embed truetype font into postscript file Nguyen, Thang a écrit : > Seem that a lots of works ahead :-) and do you know anything about > GhostScript http://www.ghostscript.com/awki , I just looked at it > yesterday and I hope that I can find something useful. Ghostscript is a tool that can convert postscript or pdf files into image formats (PNG, JPEG), render them on screen, print them on non-postscript printers, re-work them (extract pages, n-up printing...), etc. While this is a very useful tool it won't interest you for that task, excepted for visualizing generated PS files. It is perhaps capable of extracting useful informations from postscript files, but I'm not sure.
