This can be used to list the encodings in 31 any font by specifying a bogus explicit PID/EID, such as 32 with option <b>-l plane+pid=50,eid=50</b>. 33 </ul> 34 35 <b>Bug fixes:</b> 36 <ul> 37 <li> Fix to build all the features on Windows MS C++, by Tomoo Amano. 38 <li> Fix for a null pointer in the encodings, bad inner loop variable. 39 <li> Unified the parsing of font name strings and improved the checks 40 against invalid characters. 41 </ul> 42 43 <H4> 44 3.4.3 -- December 2, 2002 45 </H4> 46 <! 47 ------- 48 > 49 50 <b>New features:</b> 51 <ul> 52 <li> <tt>scripts/forceiso</tt> got an optional argument to select the 53 format of the names for glyphs without standard Latin-1 names. 54 </ul> 55 56 <b>Bug fixes:</b> 57 <ul> 58 <li> Changed the glyph names in scripts/forceiso to match those in ttf2pt1. 59 <li> Included the missing directory app/TeX. 60 </ul> 61 62 <H4> 63 3.4.2 -- August 30, 2002 64 </H4> 65 <! 66 ------- 67 > 68 69 <b>New features:</b> 70 <ul> 71 <li> New map for T2A_compat encoding (for Cyrillic LaTeX) by Mikhail 72 Umorin. 73 <li> Scripts supporting font conversion for CJK-LaTeX, by Mike Fabian 74 from SuSE. 75 </ul> 76 77 <b>Bug fixes:</b> 78 <ul> 79 <li> Explicit owner/group/permissions are used to install directories. 80 <li> In scripts/convert fixed the addition of encoding name to the font 81 name for the external encoding maps, was missing "/" at the start. 82 <li> Fixed the divergence between two copies of UniqueID. 83 <li> Fixed the recovery after defective empty contours. 84 </ul> 85 86 <H4> 87 3.4.1 -- June 13, 2002 88 </H4> 89 <! 90 ------- 91 > 92 93 <b>New features:</b> 94 <ul> 95 <li> Added Autotrace support for the bitmap fonts (-OZ). It's horrible. 96 <li> Added vectorization of bitmap fonts (-OV) - functionally the same thing as 97 autotrace but home-grown. Works mostly decently but still with large 98 space for impprovement. 99 <li> Relaxed the conditions for warnings about long glyphs. 100 </ul> 101 102 <b>Bug fixes:</b> 103 <ul> 104 <li> Fix by Rob Kolstad for a crash in the new outline smoothing 105 code (on small thin contours) and diagnostic for another crash. 106 <li> Fix by Holger Huesing for a crash on degenerate contours. 107 <li> Fix for bitmaps of zero dimensions. 108 <li> The BDF reader does not fail on redefintion of the properties. 109 <li> Fix for reading of BDF glyphs with 0 size. 110 <li> Fix for a hang when guessing the boldness of some fonts. 111 <li> Fix by Adriano Konzen for scaling coefficients in composite glyphs. 112 </ul> 113 114 <H4> 115 3.4.0 -- November 24, 2001 116 </H4> 117 <! 118 ------- 119 > 120 121 <b>New features:</b> 122 <ul> 123 <li> Parser for the BDF bitmap fonts. 124 <li> Vastly improved the smoothing of the outlines. 125 <li> The options are saved as a comment in the output file. 126 <li> New script <tt>other/showdf</tt> for visual comparison of the fonts. 127 <li> New option <b>-G</b> to select the file types to generate. 128 <li> Creation of the dvips encoding files (by Rigel). 129 <li> More glyphs in the Chinese maps (by Rigel). 130 <li> Made the assignment of ISO8859/1 glyph names to the glyphs in the 131 fonts without PostScript names in them dependent on the original 132 encoding: no change for the 8-bit encodings, for the Unicode encoding 133 the names are assigned to the glyph with the codes 0-255 in Unicode, 134 and for the other 16-bit encodings the 8859/1 names are not assigned 135 at all. 136 </ul> 137 138 <b>Bug fixes:</b> 139 <ul> 140 <li> Added a check for spaces in the PostScript font name in the FreeType 141 parser. 142 <li> Made "-" a valid character in the glyph names. 143 <li> Fixed handling of the Unicode names returned by FreeType, though 144 not perfectly. 145 <li> Changed the build for FreeType-2.0.4. 146 <li> Fixed the handling and printing of bad glyph names. 147 <li> Fixed the bug with duplicated glyph names when more than 256 glyphs are 148 extracted from a font that has no PostScript glyph names defined. 149 <li> Added ability to map a glyph to more than one code when unisng the 150 native parser (-pttf). 151 </ul> 152 153 <H4> 154 3.3.5 -- September 12, 2001 155 </H4> 156 <!

173 ------- 174 > 175 176 Packaged by Sergey Babkin. 177 <p> 178 179 <b>New features:</b> 180 <ul> 181 <li> Cyrillic (full set of glyphs) language tables (by Zvezdan Petkovic). 182 Now the languages "russian" and "bulgarian" are provided for compatibility 183 only, use the common language "cyrillic" instead. 184 <li> More information in <a href="FONTS.html">FONTS</a> on using Cyrillic fonts with 185 Netscape (by Zvezdan Petkovic) 186 <li> In the Netscape print filter added removal of the clipping path command: 187 otherwise Netscape tends to cut off a large piece of the rightmost column 188 of the tables. 189 <li> One more script for printing from Netscape (by Zvezdan Petkovic). 190 <li> Added selection of the base TTF encoding by pid/eid in the external maps. 191 <li> Improved the recognition of substituted stems for intersecting contours. 192 <li> Improved the substituted hints to make the horizontal positioning of 193 the points at the same height more uniform at small pixel sizes. 194 <li> Made the algorithm for calculation of standard stem widths more 195 selective. 196 <li> Added link to the GnuWin32 project. 197 </ul> 198 199 <b>Bug fixes:</b> 200 <ul> 201 <li> TH: Print out metrics of un-encoded glyphs even without "-a" option. 202 <li> Added missing "/" in Fontmap generation in convert (by Zvezdan Petkovic). 203 <li> Removed unneccessary "\n" in messages in x2gs. 204 <li> Removed the broken overoptimisation of "0 0 rmoveto". 205 <li> Removed the useless warnings about multiple codes for a glyph. 206 <li> Changed the FreeType2 include directory in the Makefile to match the 207 FreeType's default. 208 </ul> 209 210 <H4> 211 3.3.3 -- March 4, 2001 212 </H4> 213 <! 214 ------- 215 > 216 217 Packaged by Sergey Babkin. 218 <p> 219 220 <b>New features:</b> 221 <ul> 222 <li> TH: Added printing of front-end parser in the header of the font file. 223 <li> Tested build with FreeType 2.0 Release. 224 </ul> 225 226 <b>Bug fixes:</b> 227 <ul> 228 <li> Changed the installation script which on some versions of bash 229 copied all files into the share directory. 230 <li> Fixed the close sequences of html2man comments in the HTML files, 231 now they should display correctly with <tt>lynx</tt>. 232 <li> Restored the ability to include un-encoded characters into the 233 customised maps (those with codes over 255). 234 <li> Fixed the Unicode mapping of the Cyrillic letters "YO" and "yo" 235 (by Yuri Shemanin). 236 <li> Fixed the spurious aborts when the conversion-by-plane function 237 gets called for auto-guessing of encoding. 238 </ul> 239 240 <H4> 241 3.3.2 -- November 20, 2000 242 </H4> 243 <! 244 -------------------------- 245 > 246 247 Packaged by Sergey Babkin. 248 <p> 249 250 <b>New features:</b> 251 <ul> 252 <li> Added generation of man pages. 253 <li> Added "make install" and "make uninstall". 254 <li> Added language option "-l plane". 255 <li> In <tt>other/showg</tt> added better support of comparison files: 256 <ul> 257 <li> printing of the comparison file legend; 258 <li> guessing of missing glyph names in a comparison file by code; 259 <li> bounding boxes of all comparison files are used for page layout. 260 </ul> 261 <li> Added ability to use external t1asm instead of compiling it in. 262 <li> Renamed the fonts installation guide from INSTALL*html to FONTS*html 263 to avoid confusion with installation of ttf2pt1 itself. 264 </ul> 265 266 <b>Bug fixes:</b> 267 <ul> 268 <li> Removed erroneous extra fclose(pfa_file). 269 <li> Fixed random memory corruption that manifested with crash on Linux 270 when converting fonts not containing glyph names. 271 <li> Removed from the output file the comments that confused dvips. Changed 272 <tt>other/showg</tt> to work without them. 273 <li> In <tt>other/showg</tt> added better checks for missing glyphs, now it 274 gives warnings about them and the output file does not crash PostScript. 275 </ul> 276 277 <b>Other:</b> 278 <ul> 279 <li> <tt>ttf2pfa</tt> is no longer included, people interested in history 280 should look for it in the older versions. 281 </ul> 282 283 <H4> 284 3.3.1 -- October 22, 2000 285 </H4> 286 <! 287 ------------------------- 288 > 289 290 Packaged by Sergey Babkin. 291 <p> 292 293 <b>New features:</b> 294 <ul> 295 <li> Added front-end parser based on the FreeType-2 library. See Makefile 296 for build instructions. 297 <li> Changed the handling of encodings to accomodate the FreeType model. 298 <li> Further cleaned up the front-end parser interface. 299 </ul> 300 301 <b>Bug fixes:</b> 302 <ul> 303 <li> Fixed a bug that caused core dump on Alpha machines. 304 <li> Fixed a bug in the outline smoothing that occasionally caused core dump. 305 <li> Cleaned up warnings from picky compilers 306 <li> Fixed more bugs in the Windows port (by Stefan Bauer). 307 <li> Fixed the RPM spec file (suggested by Brian Armstrong). 308 </ul> 309 <p> 310 311 <H4> 312 3.3.0 -- September 22, 2000 313 </H4> 314 <! 315 --------------------------- 316 > 317 318 Packaged by Sergey Babkin. 319 <p> 320 321 <b>New features:</b> 322 <ul> 323 <li> Converted most of the outlines' processing to floating point 324 arithmetic. 325 <li> Added splitting of curves crossing the quadrant boundaries (no gross 326 damage is done any more to the Marvosym font and others like it). 327 <li> Added modular interface for front-end font parsers and option to control 328 their selection at run time. 329 <li> Grouped the outline processing control options into one to reduce the 330 options namespace pollution. 331 <li> Thomas moved the Chinese maps into a separate module, chinese-maps. 332 <li> Thomas added option -V to print version number. In addition, the version 333 number is put in the header of the font file. 334 <li> Added long option names (suggested by Thomas). 335 <li> Added support for multi-level composite glyphs. 336 <li> TH: Made <fontname> command-line argument optional; default to <ttf-file> 337 with suffix replaced. 338 <li> In <tt>other/showg</tt> added more ways to specify glyphs and the comparison option. 339 </ul> 340 341 <b>Bug fixes:</b> 342 <ul> 343 <li> Fixed the VC++ batch file, added batch file for Cygnus GCC on Windows. 344 <li> Removed parentheses from the Version string in AFM files because it does 345 not help StarOffice anyway. StarOffice 5.2 has been reported to have this 346 bug fixed. Added paragraph on StarOffice in FONTS.html. 347 <li> Made messages on the '?' option parameter more meaningful (by Johan Vromans). 348 <li> Changed the latin1 encoding table to include the Euro sign, Z and z with 349 caron (by Thomas Henlich). 350 <li> Improved the smoothing code which occasionally had problems with 351 joining curves. Also fixed a few minor bugs in it. 352 </ul> 353 354 <H4> 355 3.22 -- May 23, 2000 356 </H4> 357 <! 358 -------------------- 359 > 360 361 Packaged by Sergey Babkin. 362 <p> 363 364 <b>New features:</b> 365 <ul> 366 <li> Included windows support by Frank Siegert (somewhat amended) 367 <li> Added control over verbosity of warnings. 368 <li> Added arguments and initialization functions to the language 369 translation routines. 370 <li> Added support of planes determined by arguments to the external 371 maps. 372 <li> Added compact external maps format (primarily for Eastern fonts). 373 <li> Added external maps for Chinese GBK and Big5 encodings (converted 374 from ttf2pfb) as well as maps for other Chinese encodings by Wang Lei. 375 <li> Added the idea of buckets to speed up the search in external maps. 376 <li> Changed the grouping algorithm for substituted hints: now it creates 377 a bit bigger files but requires smaller hint stack when being rendered. 378 <li> Added maximal limit of hint stack depth, glyphs requiring bigger 379 stack get generation of substituted hints disabled. This makes substituted 380 hints safe to use, no more lost glyphs due to hint stack overflow. 381 <li> Added the font dump program <tt>other/dumpf</tt>. 382 <li> Changed the testing HTML generator <tt>other/lst.pl</tt> to use tables. 383 <li> Added debugging script <tt>other/cntstems.pl</tt> to count required hint 384 stack depth for the glyphs. 385 </ul> 386 387 <b>Bug fixes:</b> 388 <ul> 389 <li> Fixed printing of UID in script/trans. Changed the auto-generated UID to 390 be in range 4000000-4999999 which is reserved by Adobe for private use. 391 <li> Fixed handling of "cleartomark" in built-in t1asm. 392 <li> Added handling of "can't happen" case in straighten() routine 393 which actually happened on strange fonts and caused failure on assertion. 394 <li> Made it always include the glyph .notdef in the resulting font. 395 <li> Placed the version string in AFM file in parentheses, hopefully 396 that would fix the problem with StarOffice. 397 <li> Improved the smoothing code which occasionally had problems with 398 joining curves. 399 </ul> 400 401 <H4> 402 3.21 -- March 1, 2000 403 </H4> 404 <! 405 --------------------- 406 > 407 408 Sergey Babkin: committed the changes by Petr Titera and 409 my bugfixes. 410 <p> 411 412 <b>New features:</b> 413 <ul> 414 <li> New Unicode map format with glyph names, by Petr Titera. 415 <li> Option to force the Unicode encoding by Petr Titera 416 (I changed it to work on any MS encoding, not only Symbol). 417 <li> Slightly tweaked the calculation of hints, should be better now. 418 </ul> 419 420 <b>Bug fixes:</b> 421 <ul> 422 <li> The unicode-sample.map with description of the map formats 423 was lost in the release process, restored and enhanced. 424 <li> Renamed the table ISOLatin1Encoding to Fmt3Encoding to reflect 425 the way it is used. Saved the original one for reference 426 purposes. In the new table renamed "quoteright" to "quotesingle" 427 as Thomas Henlich suggested (and he were right). 428 <li> In the ISOLatinEncoding table renamed the glyph "grave" 429 at octal 0140 to "quoteleft", "quotesingle" at octal 047 to 430 "quoteright" to conform to the standard as suggested by 431 Martin Trautner). 432 <li> Fixed bug in scripts/trans that corrupted the UniqueID record 433 in the translated fonts. 434 <li> Fixed bug in interaction of substituted hints with BlueZones. 435 Now the fonts with hint substitution seem to be always at least 436 not worse than without it (well, when they fit in the X11 437 file size limit). 438 </ul> 439 440 441 <H4> 442 3.2 -- January 15, 2000 443 </H4> 444 <! 445 ----------------------- 446 > 447 448 Sergey Babkin: combined my changes with the changes by 449 Thomas Henlich. The result deserves a not-so-minor version 450 increase. 451 <p> 452 453 <b>New features:</b> 454 <ul> 455 <li> Support of the external Unicode re-encoding maps 456 (by Thomas). 457 <li> Support for inclusion of all the glyphs from the 458 source file into the resulting file (inspired by 459 Thomas but I re-implemented it to remove the limitation 460 of his implementation: not more than 1024 glyphs). 461 <li> The hints substitution. It's an experimental feature 462 yet and needs further work. 463 <li> Support for UniqueID and its auto-generation. 464 <li> Support for the name-based conversions from Unicode 465 in general and the adobestd "language" in particular. 466 <li> Started the split of the source code into multiple 467 files. This needs more work to do it in a cleaner 468 way. 469 <li> Better framework for the debugging printout 470 in the converter. 471 <li> Utilities to install the fonts in Netscape 472 Navigator/Communicator 4.x. 473 <li> Patches for bigger font files in the X11 rasterizer. 474 <li> Linux RPM spec-file (by Johan Vromans). 475 <li> Added the COPYRIGHT file (BSD-style, as we discussed 476 on the mailing list earlier) and the CHANGES file. 477 <li> Creation of the <tt>.pfb</tt> files from the <tt>convert</tt> 478 script. 479 <li> Changed the <tt>.notdef</tt>-s in the built-in 480 ISOLatin1Encoding table to some valid names (by Thomas). 481 Thomas also suggested replacing `<tt>quoteright</tt>' by 482 `<tt>quotesingle</tt>' but this seems to be against the 483 Adobe ISOLatin1 table. 484 <li> New aliases <tt>windows-1251</tt> and <tt>cp-866</tt> for 485 the Russian encodings: those are expected by Netscape 486 navigator. 487 <li> The font comparison program <tt>other/cmpf</tt>. 488 <li> The "magnifying glass" program for glyph outlines: 489 <tt>other/showg</tt>. 490 <li> Other updates of the tools in the `<tt>other</tt>' subdirectory. 491 <li> Added a link to T1LIB in README. 492 <li> A few new options in <tt>convert.cfg</tt>. 493 </ul> 494 495 <b>Bux fixes:</b> 496 <ul> 497 <li> A bug in the outline smoothing code that corrupted some 498 of the fonts (for example, Microsoft Verdana). 499 <li> Added explicit `<tt>cleartomark</tt>' to the end of file, 500 this seems to be compatible with both old and new version 501 of <tt>t1asm</tt> (suggested by Thomas). 502 <li> Added the <tt>FontEncoding</tt> statement to the AFM files 503 (techincally this was not a bug because this statement 504 is optional but some programs want it). 505 <li> A coredump when the converter tried to print a warning 506 (rather ironically) about a weird glyph width. 507 <li> Changed the underscores in the font names to dashes (this 508 has been proposed long time ago by Johan Vromans). 509 <li> No more glyph names of font names staring with a digit. 510 <li> The names of the fonts in font and AFM files are now the 511 same as in the generated Ghostscript <tt>Fontmap</tt> file.<br> 512 <b>Warning:</b> the names in <tt>Fontmap</tt> have been 513 changed. 514 <li> The <tt>forceiso</tt> script does not corrupt the character 515 and kerning pairs counts any more, and is optional at all. 516 <li> Fix for a loop going to 254 instead of 255 (by Thomas). 517 <li> Added ':' in the font header (by Thomas). 518 <li> A coredump when wrong language name is given (this was 519 also fixed by Thomas but I noticed it too late, after 520 I already fixed it by myself). 521 <li> Fixed the links to the Adobe documents in README. 522 </ul> 523 524 525 <H4> 526 3.13 -- October 18, 1999 527 </H4> 528 <! 529 ------------------------ 530 > 531 532 Packaged by Sergey Babkin. 533 <p> 534 535 <b>New features:</b> 536 <ul> 537 <li> New option -v for automatic re-scaling based on the vertical size of the font 538 <li> Changed the code to use getopt() instead of a home-made version of it. 539 <li> Latin2 language support by Szalay Tamas. 540 </ul> 541 542 <b>Bux fixes:</b> 543 <ul> 544 <li> Fix for the bug that made possible calls of malloc(0). 545 <li> Refinement of the option -w to prevent extra wide spacing 546 </ul> 547 548 <H4> 549 3.12 -- October 2, 1999 550 </H4> 551 <! 552 ----------------------- 553 > 554 555 Packaged by Sergey Babkin. 556 <p> 557 558 <b>New features:</b> 559 <ul> 560 <li> Added support for the Bulgarian language (actually, for now just an alias 561 of Russian). 562 <li> Added option -w that tries to make sure that the character widths are not 563 too narrow. 564 <li> Added the concept of aliased encodings. 565 <li> Now the conversion scripts create and install the .afm files too. 566 <li> The conversion script removes the intermediate files after installation. 567 <li> Added tunables to the conversion script. 568 <li> Installation of the Ghostscript fonts can now be done automatically 569 together with the X11 fonts. 570 </ul> 571 572 <b>Bux fixes:</b> 573 <ul> 574 <li> (FINALLY!!!) A correct fix for the infamous Red Hat 6.0 stdio "feature". 575 <li> A number of little bugs discovered by a picky SGI compiler (well, maybe 576 some day I'll try to run it through the UnixWare lint and see what happens). 577 <li> A diagnostic message about the empty encodings in the convert script was 578 made less cryptic and a bug in the awk sub-script was fixed. 579 <li> The .afm creation code now considers the option -t. 580 </ul> 581 582 <H4> 583 3.11 -- May 24, 1999 584 </H4> 585 <! 586 -------------------- 587 > 588 589 Packaged by Sergey Babkin. 590 <p> 591 592 <b>New features:</b> 593 <ul> 594 <li> It includes the Turkish (Latin5, ISO8859/9) 595 language support by Turgut Uyar and Baltic (ISO8859/4) languages support by 596 Rihardas Hepas. 597 <li> Also the installation script got updated: the configuration parameters 598 are moved to a separate file and the generated fonts.dir files should now be 599 compatible with Xfsft. 600 </ul> 601 602 <H4> 603 3.1 -- March 28, 1999 604 </H4> 605 <! 606 --------------------- 607 > 608 609 Packaged by Sergey Babkin. 610 <p> 611 612 <b>New features:</b> 613 <ul> 614 <li> Improved the interaction of the character-level hints and font-level hints 615 </ul> 616 617 618 <H4> 619 3.0 -- March 6, 1999 620 </H4> 621 <! 622 -------------------- 623 > 624 625 Packaged by Sergey Babkin. 626 <p> 627 628 <b>New features:</b> 629 <ul> 630 <li> Added HTML documents. 631 </ul> 632 633 <H4> 634 3.0beta2 -- February 14, 1999 635 </H4> 636 <! 637 ----------------------------- 638 > 639 640 Packaged by Sergey Babkin. 641 <p> 642 643 <b>New features:</b> 644 <ul> 645 <li> Added ability to print the .afm file instead of the font to STDOUT. 646 <li> Added the guessing of the /ForceBold parameter that proved to be useful. 647 </ul> 648 649 <b>Bux fixes:</b> 650 <ul> 651 <li> Removed the force-fixed option that proved to be troublesome. 652 </ul> 653 654 <H4> 655 3.0beta1 -- December 11, 1998 656 </H4> 657 <! 658 ----------------------------- 659 > 660 661 By Andrew Weeks. 662 <p> 663 664 <b>New features:</b> 665 <ul> 666 <li> Added option (passed to t1asm) to create a compressed binary 667 version of the font (A PFB file). 668 </ul> 669 670 <b>Bux fixes:</b> 671 <ul> 672 <li> Versions of handle_post and handle_cmap that deal with some 673 problems with buggy fonts. 674 <li> Minor Bug Fixes. 675 </ul> 676 677 <H4> 678 3.0beta-afm -- December 5, 1998 679 </H4> 680 <! 681 ------------------------------- 682 > 683 684 By Thomas Henlich. 685 <p> 686 687 <b>New features:</b> 688 <ul> 689 <li> Integration of AFM file creation. 690 </ul> 691 692 <H4> 693 3.0beta -- November 15, 1998 694 </H4> 695 <! 696 ---------------------------- 697 > 698 699 By Sergey Babkin. 700 <p> 701 702 <b>New features:</b> 703 <ul> 704 <li> Added the auto-calculation of the italic angle. 705 </ul> 706 707 <b>Bux fixes:</b> 708 <ul> 709 <li> Fixed a couple of bugs. 710 </ul> 711 712 <H4> 713 3.0alpha -- October 19, 1998 714 </H4> 715 <! 716 ---------------------------- 717 > 718 719 By Sergey Babkin. 720 <p> 721 722 <b>New features:</b> 723 <ul> 724 <li> Improved (although still not perfect) handling of 725 scaling in composite glyphs 726 <li> Automatic correction of outlines to make them more 727 smooth (to correct both rounding errors introduced 728 during conversion and present in the original font) 729 <li> Automatic generation of hints (still has lots of 730 space for improvement) 731 <li> Automatic generation of BlueValues etc. 732 </ul> 733 734 <b>Bux fixes:</b> 735 <ul> 736 <li> Scaling of fonts to 1000x1000 M-square required by 737 Type1 standard 738 <li> Printing out the contours in reverse direction, because 739 TTF directions are different from Type1 ones (that was 740 the major reason why the fonts generated by 741 version 2.2 were rendered so badly in small sizes) 742 </ul> 743 744 <H4> 745 June 22, 1998 (AKA 2.2) 746 </H4> 747 <! 748 ------------- 749 > 750 751 By Thomas Henlich. 752 <p> 753 754 <b>Bux fixes:</b> 755 <ul> 756 <li> "width" should be "short int" because otherwise: 757 characters with negative widths (e.g. -4) become *very* wide (65532) 758 <li> The number of /CharStrings is numglyphs and not numglyphs+1 759 </ul> 760 761 <H4> 762 February 13, 1998 763 </H4> 764 <! 765 ----------------- 766 > 767 768 By Mark Heath. 769 <p> 770 771 <b>Bux fixes:</b> 772 <ul> 773 <li> An original Bug Reported by Frank, which was just incorrect syntax in the 774 Type 1 header, managed to creep back into the Feb 04 Version.

Initially 804 there were no version umbers, the releases were marked by dates. The version 805 from June 22 1998 untarred itself into a directory "<tt>ttf2pt1-22</tt>". When I 806 made my changes to it I assumed that this was the version number meaning 807 version 2.2. Since Mark asked me to send him a complete archive I supposed 808 that I have to bump the version number. And I bumped it to 3.0 because the 809 changes were rather extensive. Mark silently agreed and released the new 810 version as 3.0. And that's the end of the story about how we got this 811 Microsoft-like high version number.) 812 </I> 813 814 </BODY> 815 </HTML>
