... From: Markus Trippelsdorf <mar...@trippelsdorf.de> ... Subject: Re: [ft-devel] Hinting paths Message-ID: <20151105164556.GC325@x4> ... There is a nice summary of the recent ATypI conference on LWN today: http://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/662813/4795feb3a4ac97d2/ ...
Interesting reading. There was a couple of inaccuracies in the article - the 1st iso opentype spec was in 2007, not 1996 (and draft exists earlier than 2007, of course); and about DSIG, interestingly in the 2015 spec out before the conference, it is no longer 'recommended' but optional, so one of the 'wishes' has already sort-of happened before the panel discussion. Also, rather strangely Si Daniels of Microsoft doesn't know that microsoft's font signing tool package also ships a signature checking tool. It is rather user-unfriendly, and also tightly coupled to the windows trust system though; and it is not 'open'... As for a tool for examining signatures in fonts in the 'open' world, well, one just came into existence a few days ago. People interested in that, please reply by privately. There is apparently at least one non-microsoft 3rd party signing tool in existence also. If anybody else, other than you-know-who-you-are, know of a 2nd non-microsoft sigining tool, please speak up or reply privately too. _______________________________________________ Freetype-devel mailing list Freetype-devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-devel
