4. Technical Description
Summary
----------
Solaris is currently missing a facility for creating, editing, debugging,
comparing and converting fonts. FontForge would mitigate this gap, by
providing such a needed facility which is capable of creating, editing,
transforming bitmap and outline fonts in various formats such as
TrueType/OpenType, PostScript Type 0/1/3(outline+bitmaps)/42/CID,
BDF/PCF/PMF, FON, NFNT, and SVG ; and providing extended and scriptable
editing and debugging facilities.
fontforge-20080607 will be integrated into the SFW consolidation as part
of this proposal, and will be installed as SUNWfontforge.
This project requests a micro/patch release binding.
Notes
=====
Note we deliver both 32bit and 64bit versions of "fontforge", selected via
/usr/lib/isaexec. The 64bit version is needed since Asian fonts can be very
large (>= 80MB disk space) and having multiple fonts opened in the editor
(for example for comparision or glyph copying) or generating sets of
larger bitmap fonts from these outline fonts quickly reaches the 2GB
barrier.
