Hi, Everyone, As a follow up to my previous message, please note that it would help me greatly if I had access to a few additional font file formats that I have not yet been able to test because I don't have any of these kinds of fonts and don't know where to get them either:
(1) CID fonts (2) Postscript Type42 fonts (3) "Multiple Master" fonts (4) "PFR" fonts (5) Any fonts (Type1 or otherwise) that are known without a doubt to be licensed under X11/MIT license *and* actually have a copyright notice which *explicitely* states that fact. If anyone has some of these fonts and would like to lend me them for testing, please let me know. Thanks! -- Ed ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Ed Trager <[email protected]> Date: Fri, Jul 17, 2009 at 2:30 PM Subject: Updated Fontaine SVN Revision 30 To: Open Font Library <[email protected]> Hi, everyone, As a result of recent discussions on this list in the last few days, I decided to investigate Fontaine's handling and support of different font file formats in a more systematic fashion. In addition to filling in some gaps in support for Type1 Postscript fonts, I also did extensive testing on Apple OS X for the first time. The result of this work is that Fontaine SVN revision 30 is now available with the following improvements: (1) Improved support for Type1 (Postscript) fonts. (2) Extensively tested to verify that Fontaine correctly handles the following font file types and formats: TrueType (TTF, OTF, CFF, Apple dfont and AppleDouble-encoded TrueType/OpenType), Type1 (.pfa, .pfb), and X11 bitmap (.pcf.gz). (3) Added XFree86 license detection. (4) Revised X11/MIT and IPA license detection. (5) Added a small addition to one of the CMakeLists.txt" (6) Improved handling of license URLs =========== Getting Fontaine =========== Fontaine is now a project on sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/fontaine/ Anyone may obtain the source code for Fontaine from the SVN repository: svn co https://fontaine.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/fontaine =========== Building Fontaine =========== Fontaine uses the cross-platform cmake-based build system: cd fontaine/trunk cmake . make su -c "make install" or sudo make install
