Hi all,
Now that we have AA font support, I think it'd be nice to ship so AA fonts
in time for 3.9 (when this feature will début).
So how should these be handled? If I understand correctly, we currently
have .bdf fonts in SVN, which are converted to .fnt when we make fonts.
However, the AA fonts are converted directly to .fnt from .ttf using
convttf. Do we want to store the AA .fnts directly in SVN, or do we want
to generate them each time (in which case we would need the ttfs in SVN)?
I definitely think we should keep the source format (ttf) in SVN (just as
we keep the BDF source files).
Also, naming - I think it'd be good to be able to distinguish AA and
non-AA by name (so people can use which they prefer). I propose adding -AA
to the filename, so we have e.g. 16-fontname-AA.fnt. Any thoughts?
Sounds good to me. Although perhaps it would make more sense with a
prefix, so all AA fonts sort together, and the suffix doesn't end up
off-screen? It does seem like that's the wrong order logically, but I
think it's more practical?
