Extracting the outlines from a TT is not difficult, actually... freetype can give it to you ready to plot (FT_Outline_Decompose), you only have to mess a little with quadric/cubic curves. The problem is that the result at the small sizes used for silks and stuff is... well, disappointing. That changes of course if you have access to photo-silk instead of true silkscreening... Also the cut-in feature for gerber fill seems a little tricky to use. The problem outlined in pages 50-51 of the specs make me think a lot of experimentation and care is needed. I think it could be done (good quality results are not guaranteed, anyway...). There *is* a reason for the major cad manufacturer to recommend stroke fonts in place of outline ones. -- Lorenzo Marcantonio Logos Srl -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/668145 Title: Font preferences not available anymore, internal font changed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/668145/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
