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 | utmb8v.ttf, | utmbi8v.ttf, | utmr8v.ttf, | utmri8v.ttf: -- truetype fonts `-------- Installation: - unpack f.zip and copy the *.ttf files to ~/.fonts - run fc-cache The fonts should then be available to applications under name 'Vn Nimbus Roman No9 L' 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. I have decided not to include the type version in the pretest release. 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) Please send comments, problem reports or suggestions to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
