Pete,

very good plan. Having your renderer at SourceForge, either in your own
project or with Victor's foray, is equally good.

You are welcome to create a project on SourceForge, but one of the purposes
of FOray is to provide a home for these things, if possible. I haven't had a
chance to look at your patch, but it interests me, especially since I am
focusing on font work ATM, and am interested to know whether the approach I
have taken will be flexible enough to deal with the AFP fonts. The short
answer is that I intend to use AFM files to provide font metrics for
raster/bitmap fonts, just to limit the number of parsers that we have to
have. However, if you already have another scheme working, I'll be glad to
see how we can make them fit.
www.foray.org

If that helps you at all, please let me know (off-list), and I'll take a
look at your code and see if we can find a way to work together. The
splinters are sometimes necessary, but the fewer of them we have, the
better. I apologize that I haven't had time to look at your patch already.

We can include a link on our resources page.  We're
not too motivated to continue with 0.20.x series, it
has "keep" property problems.

Sure, that's what we have Web Maestro for.  We don't

Wait a minute! I'm not getting paid? Not true! I've been given a great 
e-mail address! As for the link, I'll add it to the Resources page as 
soon as it's available.

Yes, there's a lot of interest in this renderer,
apparently, and with the more publicity, the more that
that will increase.

Be careful that you're working within the framework of
XSL (i.e., using the relevant properties for this.)

Sounds very good.  Please learn the 1.0 rendering
system as well--something I'm vague on--to help with
porting it over.

[Townsend, Pete]

Glen,

I've had some interest in the renderer, in fact some enhancement requests!
The renderer currently supports raster fonts (these tend to be the most
widely used) however I have a request to add outline font capability, which
should be straight forward.

Rather than keep adding files to the patch, I'll create a project on
SourceForge. I'll use this to add enhancements and also migrate the code to
1.0 when a more stable build is available.

I'd still like to see this renderer in the mainstream project, so this will
give me a nursery area to enhance the renderer until you feel it appropriate
to include the renderer in your code base. 

Once I have SourceForge project established I'd be grateful if you could add
a link from the FOP pages.

Regards, Pete.

Thank you!  It will someday need to be converted into 1.0, but we will keep
this
bug open for others to see and incorporate into their 0.20.x code.
