,--------
| This is a pretest of the upcoming release (3.0) of urwvn fonts.
|
| urwvn is the vietnamese version of the standard PostScript fonts from
| URW++
|
| At the moment there is only one font that has been retouched:
| VnNimbusRomNo9L-Regu (Times Roman). Other fonts are being improved.
|
| The most important change compared to the previous release is that
| uppercase letters now have different accents: they are wider and lower
| than the accents of lowercase letters. Hinting for accents have been
| also improved.
|
|
| Files in f.zip:
|
| ,--------
| | README -- this file
| |
| | utmrv.{afm,pfa,pfb,pfm,ttf} -- VISCII-encoded font files
| |
| | sample.pdf -- a sample of the font
| `--------
|
| The type1 version looks quite poor on X11, probably because of the
| quality of type1 rendering in X11. On windows2000 it looks much better,
| probably thanks to the adobe type1 rendering engine, which is still the
| best one.
|
| The truetype version of the font has been generated by fontforge and has no
| hints at all. Hence it looks poor on windows, while it looks surprisingly
| good in X11 thanks to freetype.
|
| The font has been tested on:
| - linux (debian sarge i386) with: firefox, openoffice, gedit
| - windows 2000 with: internet explorer, wordpad
|
| A (technical) note on hinting of the font:
| The type1 version has quite reasonable hints: all original hints from urw
| fonts are kept, all vietnamese accents have been hinted manually using
| fontlab. Due to the limitation of the tool being used to compose accented
| characters (FMP from Y&Y), accents cannot have hints that are overlapping.
| Hence hinting for some accents are sub-optimal (especially true for tilde)
