[...] Currently, FT_Get_X11_Font_Format() is intentionally not documented well, but it seems that the information this function returns is quite important for some applications like yours. I'll make its documentation `public'. Werner ___ Freetype mailing list Freetype@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype

Try FT_Get_X11_Font_Format(). Can you give more details on what you need exactly? Thanks, that's exactly what I need. I have to differentiate between truetype, type1 and type1 cid font files. This information is supposed to be in the PDF, but it's amazing how often it is incorrect. It also doesn't work when the font is not embedded, and the available system font is of another format than the PDF file says. By default I have to select a specific charmap. (7,x) for type1 fonts, and (1,0) or (3,1) for truetypes. Then I need to find named glyphs from the re-encoding in the PDF using a different mechanism for the two formats. CID fonts are another story altogether. To emulate CID fonts with a truetype font I need to map CIDs to whatever encoding the truetype font has. It's all rather messy, but what do you expect from an Adobe format? Tor ___ Freetype mailing list Freetype@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype
[ft] FT_RENDER_MODE_LCD
Hi, It says FT_RENDER_MODE_LCD gives a 3x image width for sub-pixel rendering on an LCD. Wouldn't this work ok for a CRT too? ___ Freetype mailing list Freetype@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype
