-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2010-13513 2010-08-25 13:28:51 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : perl-Font-TTFMetrics Product : Fedora 14 Version : 0.1 Release : 2.fc14 URL : http://search.cpan.org/dist/Font-TTFMetrics/ Summary : Parser for the TTF file Description : Font::TTFMetrics encapsulates the font metrics of a true type font file. A true type font file contains several tables which need to be parsed before any useful information could be gathered about the font. There is the excellent module for parsing TTF font in CPAN by Martin Hosken, Font::TTF. But in my opinion the use of Font::TTF requires intimate knowledge of TTF font format. This module was written to support the use of TTF in Pastel 2D graphics library in Perl. Three factors prompted me to write this module: first, I required a fast module to access TTF file. Second, all the access required was read-only. Last, I wanted a user friendly, higher level API to access TTF file. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Initial Fedora package release. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #619407 - Review Request: perl-Font-TTFMetrics - Parser for the TTF file https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=619407 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
