Re: [ft-devel] Z/OS status
BTW, how are PS fonts handled on z/OS? Or, more general, how is PostScript handled on z/OS? Since PS is plain text normally, it could be EBCDIC also. And another follow-up: What about BDF and PCF? The former are pure text files, and the latter could be different too (in case they are based on EBCDIC text files). Do you know a document which covers fonts on z/OS and how they are stored and processed?

Re: [ft-devel] Rendering problem with 'y' character
Attached patch shows a rendering problem with 'y' character with Tahoma font (in python and system ). Notice that top-left part of y looks cropped. Dpi is 96, and font size is 9 pts. I only see the problem when italic text is used. Which tahoma font have you used? I only have normal and bold, but no slanted version. Does anyone know if this is a problem in KDE/Qt or a known problem? And how to debug this better? Can you reproduce the bad behaviour with ftview?

I am not _yet_ able to reproduce with ftview, I am wondering khtml/Qt does font substition somehow although I set Konqueror to use Tahoma only.

Re: [ft-devel] Z/OS status
Is there a possibility for the z/OS compiler to select the encoding of an input file? This would be the easiest solution. There is, but this doesn't completely work. It only covers cases where they may be string literals in the code which are expected to be in ascii. It still leaves open the possibility of there being algorithmic problems (there are, for example, functions called things like utf8_to_ascii and so on -- clearly they are broken on an EBCDIC system, regardless of the code page you use to compile the code). I don't find this a satisfactory solution. ___ Freetype-devel mailing list Freetype-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-devel
Re: [ft-devel] Z/OS status
I've never actually run the XWindows system on Z/OS [...] Oops, this answers the question in my previous mail. Still wondering what kind of fonts are used for the z/OS graphics display...

Can you reproduce the bad behaviour with ftview? I am not _yet_ able to reproduce with ftview, [...] Well, it seems that Qt does slanting by itself -- this isn't supported within ftview.
