FontForge に関するコメントを追加。ついに fontforge ドメインを入手したので、将来のリリースはここで行われることになります。
-
2004年2月29日
-
不正な‘cmap’サブテーブルが与えられた時に、FontForge がクラッシュする可能性がありました。
-
OS/2 テーブルの生成部を少し整理。
-
ダイアログがアクティブな時でも、移動イベントをウィンドウに渡すようにしました (それにより、点の情報ダイアログがアクティブな時でもアウトラインウィンドウ上にマウス位置が表示されるようになりました)。
-
プログラム起動時に表示される著作権表示に、FontForge への名称変更に関するコメントを追加。

-
複数レイヤ編集可能な FontForge で通常フォントを編集するとクラッシュしていました。
-
2004年2月24日
-
AddHint() コマンドを削除し、AddHHint() と AddVHint() に置き換え。
-
NFNT ビットマップを含む Mac ファミリーを生成すると FontForge がクラッシュしていました。
-
1 個の文字を PDF フォーマットに書き出す機能を追加。
-
おや、ヒントマスクを逆向きに指定していました (PS スプラインを出力前に反転しているからです。だからヒントマスク計算も処理中に反転するようにしました)。
-
Werner の示唆により、ヒントが現在そのある点の上でアクティブかどうかを表示するコードを追加。
-
Werner の示唆により、ヒントマスクによりどの点が影響を受けるかを表示するコードを追加。
-
Type3 (および SVG) フォントを実際に編集できる機能を追加。太さのあるパス、線と異なる塗り潰し色、複数の stroke/fill 操作など。これを有効にすると多くのオーバーヘッドが必要になるので、CJK フォントを編集したい人は使用しない方がいいだろうと考えられるため、デフォルトではこの機能はオフにしてあります。これを有効にする場合は
$ configure --with-multilayer
と設定すること。
-
FontForge は (ヒント置換を含む Type1 フォントの読み込み時に) ヒントマスクを構築するとき、コマンド hstem3 と vstem3 を正しく解釈できていませんでした。
-
2004年2月11日
-
非マルチプルマスターフォントの保存時に FontForge がクラッシュを起こす可能性がありました。

-
FontForge は PostScript の“index”コマンドを誤って解釈していました (スタックから (インデックスが 1 個ずれた場所から) の間違った値を返していました)。
-
PostScriptの“for”ループのサポートを追加。
-
単純な (1 軸の) マルチプルマスター Type1 フォントを FontForge で作成しました。ghostview と FreeType の両方で動作しています。
-
不正な用字系/言語インデックスを含む SFD ファイルから TTF を出力しようとすると、FontForge がクラッシュしていました。ユーザにこれを警告するコードを追加し、いくつかの場合にそれを修正するようにしました。
-
FontForge が以前用いていた点の個数を表現する書式をもつ SFD ファイルからの読み込みに問題がありました。要するに、点の数え方のひどい間違いがまだ残っていたということです。
-
FontForge はカウンタマスクが存在するときに不正な SFD ファイルを書き出していました (グリフの全輪郭が失われていました)。
-
パレットを連結してからアウトラインビューを閉じると FontForge がクラッシュするのは何故なのか、ようやく突き止めました。
-
フォントの補間処理で起こるさまざまなクラッシュを修正。
-
PostScript で参照を表現するためにサブルーチンを使用する方法に、(1月30日以来) 問題がありました。

-
マルチプルマスターフォントの prep テーブルに関する追加作業。
-
2004年2月2日
-
2 次スプラインを含むデータベースからの PostScript フォントの出力が動作していませんでした。
-
/CharStrings が 2 個含まれるフォントを読むと FontForge がクラッシュしていました。
-
左/右向き矢印を押した時のメニューバーのふるまいを (Werner のために) 微調整。
-
seac (Type1 の) つきで作成された複合グリフにおいて、アクセントの変形が間違っていました。
-
マルチプルマスターフォントの prep テーブルの追加作業。
-
TTF の点の個数をまだ数え間違えていました。
-
ユーザが TTF を読み込んで等幅に設定し、それから TTF として出力すると、.notdef 以外の文字の送り幅がすべて 0 になっていました。
-
2004年2月1日
-
SFD 読み込みルーチンにバグがありました。ヒントマスクに文字 [a-fA-F] のいずれかの文字が含まれていると無限ループに陥っていました。
-
2004年1月31日
-
Type2 の出力において、グリフをサブルーチンに登録するときに、そのグリフに衝突がなく、かつ 1 個のヒントマスクが存在したとき、FontForge は不正なフォントを出力していました (FontForge がそれを再び読み込もうとするとクラッシュしていました)。
-
configure スクリプトがまだ Solaris で動作していませんでした (libiconv を含む Mac でもおそらく同様でしょう)。
-
2004年1月30日
-
カーニング状態機械の追加により、インド系文字の状態機械ダイアログが壊されていました。
-
Mac の文書は、‘feat’テーブルは機能 ID 順にソートされていなければならないと主張します。しかし、その通りにすると WorldText はそれらの機能を検出することができません。どの Apple フォントでも、機能が‘morx’テーブルの連鎖で使用される順番に従ってソートされているようです。その通りにすると WorldText は動作します。
-
状態マシンエディタへのいくつかの拡張を Yannis が提案しました。とくに重要なのは、編集ダイアログの中で Up/Down/Left/Right ボタンで移動できる機能です。
-
「言語学的再配置」と「縦書き置換」の機能設定が逆になっていました。
-
機能をオフにするための出力を何も行っていない場合がいくつかありました。
-
カーニング状態機械ダイアログに関する多くの問題を修正。
-
挿入状態機械に関するいくつかの問題を修正。
-
状態機械の読み込みに関するいくつかの問題を修正。
-
Mac ファミリーの構築方法を制御するための SetMacStyle() コマンドを追加。
-
スクリプト処理内の Print() を行った後に fflush の呼び出しを追加。
-
CFF 辞書が極端に桁数の多い実数値を含んでいると、FontForge がクラッシュしていました (この場合、フォントそのものが間違っていますが)。
-
FontForge は、ビットマップからのコピーを行った時にビットマップ文字の幅をコピーしていませんでした。
-
グリフ情報ダイアログがペア単位の位置指定を正しく取り扱っていませんでした。
-
http://shair.net/misc/txt/pangram.en (David Shaal の提供した情報によるリンク) から、追加の全文字使用文を追加。
-
ヒント置換に関する私の以前のアプローチは、マルチプルマスターフォントで問題を引き起こしていました。そういうわけで、どの点が置換点で、その点にはどのヒントマスクがあるのかを記録しておくように変更しました。それらの点を自動的に検出する新しいコマンドを追加したので、ユーザが点の情報ダイアログ (エレメント→情報を得る) でそれを直接制御できるようになりました。それと同時に、同様の事がカウンタマスクに対しても可能になるようにする必要がある事に気づいたので、FontForeg はカウンタマスクを OTF ファイルから読み込みます (Type1 に対してはこれを実装していません)。新しいコマンドは、正しい値について推測を行い、ユーザはそれをエレメント→グリフ情報で直接編集できます (新しいスクリプトコマンド SubstitutionPoints() と AutoCounter() はその名のとおりの処理を行います)。
-
ある文字がユーザの思い通りのヒントを含んでいて、ユーザが自分で AutoHint() を呼ぶまでは更新してはならないことを表す ヒント(H)→自動ヒントを停止(D) コマンド (と、それに対応するスクリプトコマンド) を追加。
-
PostScript フォント (Type1 と Type2) を出力時に座標を丸めるかを制御する機能を追加。
-
FontForge は、ビットマップのみのフォントに対し、壊れた‘post’テーブルを出力する可能性がありました。
-
FontForge では、同じタグを含むペア単位の位置指定を 2 つ作成することができませんでした。
-
Mac の機能名と“Bold”などのいくつかの標準的な名称のハンガリー語訳を追加。Laszlo Karoly の提供。
-
FontForge が 1 個の文字に 2 つのエンコーディングを対応させているとき、FreeType を用いたビットマップ生成が混乱を来していることに Pierre HANSER が気づきました。
-
フォントのエンコーディング 0 に .notdef 以外の文字が含まれていると、それから OpenType フォントを生成した時にかなりの高率でクラッシュしていました。
-
選択に関するメニュー項目を 2 個追加: 選択(S)→輪郭全体(C)、選択→最初の端点(F), 次の端点(N)。
-
文字内の輪郭の順序を設定することができるサブメニューを追加。これはほとんど無意味 (最終的な文字の表示は、それを構成する輪郭をどの順序で描画したかには影響されないはず) ですが、マルチプルマスターフォントにおいては、対応するグリフ内では輪郭リストの順序が同じでなければなりません。
-
2004年1月11日
-
壊れた Mac テーブルからの読み込みに関するパッチが失われていたので、パッチを当て直しました。
-
2004年1月10日
-
TrueType デバッガを fpgm に適用しようとすると FontForge がクラッシュを起こしていました。
-
FontForge デバッガウィンドウの背景色が常に灰色になっていました。
-
点ウィンドウがまったく点を表示していませんでした。
-
点ウィンドウを変更し、グリフビューで、個別の点にウォッチポイントが設定されているかどうかを表示するようにしました。
-
グリフのデバッグ中に情報表示行にコード範囲 (‘fpgm’/‘prep’/グリフ) を表示するようにしました。
-
‘fpgm’/‘prep’ テーブルの作成時に、ゴミ命令が含まれたテーブルを作っていました。
-
なぜだか、‘cvt ’テーブル編集用のダイアログを入れ忘れていました。修正しました。
-
PostScript インタプリタ (の、.eps ファイルと Type フォントの読み込みに用いる部分) にバグがあり、斜め成分を持った変換行列 (回転・傾きなど) で点を座標変換すると間違った値を返していました。
-
EPS ファイルが gsave を行う時により多くの PS グラフィック状態を保存するためのコードを追加。
-
フォントの併合(M) が、空のフォントへの参照を含むフォントを併合するとクラッシュしていました。
-
OS/2 テーブルの幅/ウェイトクラスにデフォルト値を設定していませんでした。
-
いくつかの場合に、ビットマップダイアログが割り付けたメモリより 1 バイト多く書き込む可能性がありました。
-
アウトライン文字ポップアップメニューを変更し、「アンカーポイントを追加」という項目を追加。
-
合字インデックスが正しく設定されない場合がいくつかありました。
-
(アウトライングリフビューの) 各輪郭の最初の点のそばに、輪郭の向きを表す小さな矢印を追加
-
Mac は、CFF の仕様を非常に厳格に、しかし正しく解釈しています。フォントが参照を含まない場合、FontForge は空のサブルーチンインデックスを出力していました。これは間違いでした。空のサブルーチンインデックスを書き出すのではなく、一切書き出さないのが正しいのです (奇妙なことに、グローバルサブルーチンはその反対でなければなりません。腐ってますねえ)。参照が存在しない場合、ローカルサブルーチンを出力しないように FontForge を変更しました。
-
Yannis Haralambous がフランス語の UI を修正しました。
-
新しいスクリプトコマンドを 3 つ追加: AddAnchorClass(), AddAnchorPoint(), RemoveAnchorClass()。
-
ATTを表示(S)はグリフクラスを正しく表示していませんでした。
-
スクリプトダイアログをサイズ可変にしました。
-
ファイル名を指定して保存(A) と 取り込み(I) の両ダイアログはフランス語での見栄か箍編でした。非英語システムでの見栄えが向上するためのその他の改良を多数行いました。
-
グリフ情報ダイアログでグリフクラスを設定できる機能を追加。
-
FontsInFile() は PFB ファイル (と、CFF) で動いていませんでした。
-
複数の FOND をもつ Mac リソースファイルをスクリプトから開くとクラッシュしていました。
-
フォント情報(I)→[TTF名] で、ロケール名によらず言語を Unicode 順に並べるようにしました (今までは言語は、たとえフランス語ロケールであったとしても、英語でのアルファベット順に並べられていました)。
-
2004年1月2日
-
ストローク処理で線の接合部の丸めの精度を向上。
-
180°以上転回するスプラインの近似を改善。
-
CFF ファイルの読み込みをサポート。
-
TTF の点の数え方にまだ問題がありました。
-
著作権表示を更新。
-
FontForge が不正な Apple 照合テーブルを読んだ時の保護コードを追加 (私が思うには、10.3 付属の Zapfino.dfont には 2 個の不正な照合が含まれていると思いますが、私が単に仕様を誤解しているだけの可能性が高いです)。
-
本来的な用字系を持たないグリフに対するデフォルト用字系に‘DFLT’用字系を使用するのを避ける場合を以前より増やしてみました。
-
問題点を発見 ダイアログに‘DFLT’の検出を追加。
-
ずっと以前から、不正な GPOS 単純位置指定サブテーブルを出力していました。
-
ユーザが設定するグリフ名のチェックの厳格化。
-
Cygwin 上では (おそらく他でもそうでしょうが、私は今まで他のどこでもこのバグに気づきませんでした)、他のコマンド実行が終わっていないうちにメニューからコマンドを起動すると、FontForge がほぼ確実にクラッシュしていました。
-
裸の CFF ファイルの読み書きをサポート。
-
アクセントつき文字の構築(B) は、dotlessi が含まれていないフォントで iacute 等のアクセントつき文字を構築しようとするとクラッシュしていました。
-
2003年12月28日
-
RemoveATT スクリプトコマンドに 3 番目の引数として "*" を指定したときに動作してていませんでした。
-
FontForge のグリフビュー内でクリッピング操作を行ったときにゴミが残ることがありました。
-
Meta キーと同時に矢印キーを押すと、選択された点を矢印キー単独で押したときの 10 倍の距離だけ移動するようにしました。
-
GPOS/GSUB での昨日の並び順を Microsoft のサイトから取得し、FontForge にその知識を組み込みました。
-
点の情報ダイアログの変更
-
このダイアログで点のタイプを設定できるようにしました。
-
制御点に関する制約を課すようにしました (例えば、曲線上の点の両側の制御点は、元の点と一直線になるようにするなど)。
-
データ入力に (オフセット指定に加え) 距離と角度を指定して行うもう一つのモードを付け加えました。
-
いくつかの MF フォントのグリフ名には、PostScript 名として許されない文字が含まれています。
-
FontForge は、Windows の FNT (FON) ファイルからグリフを読み込む時に文字幅設定に失敗していました。これにより、幾つかのグリフが無視される危険性がありました。
-
文脈連鎖ダイアログで間違ったチェックを行っており、数字を含む正しいグリフ名に対しエラーメッセージが出力されていました。
-
ヒストグラムダイアログは、ウィンドウの幅が非常に広く、実際に使われているよりも多くのステム幅を含む可能性がある時にマウスがその上を横切って移動したときにクラッシュを起こしていました。
-
メトリックビューの 表示(V) メニューに、ユーザが名前または符号位置を指定してグリフを挿入することができる 3 つのコマンドを追加。
-
縦書きメトリックを含むフォントから生成した AFM ファイルが "WY" (縦書きの送り幅) の値を含んでおらず、ファイル内の vkern の値が実際には横書きのカーニングの大きさが入っていることを Yannis が指摘しました。
-
'kern' テーブルにはペア単位の縦書きカーニングが (クラス単位の縦書きカーニングが含まれていない場合) まったく含まれていませんでした。
-
編集中のグリフに置換が含まれていない場合、メトリックビューの表示(V)→置換 サブメニューがただしく動作していませんでした。
-
表示(V)→置換 メニューに、オリジナルのグリフに戻れる方法を追加するように Yannis が要求しました。
-
縦書きモードでのメトリックビューが思いがけない方法で上サイドベアリングを変更していることを指摘しました。縦書きの送り幅も画面を適切に更新していませんでした。
-
David Opstad のおかげで、フォーマット 1 のカーニングテーブルの実例を入手したので、FontForge に状態マシンによるカーニングのサポートを追加しました。
-
OTB (OpenType ビットマップ) フォントの生成と読み込みを行うコードが壊れていました。
-
自作の奇妙なビットマップのみのフォントを Windows 用に出力するためのコードに幾つかの (別個の) フラグ関連の欠陥がありました。
-
フォントビュー (またはグリフビュー) 上で文字をタイプした時、フォントが文字を含んでいない場合、FontForge はその文字の符号位置に対応するスロットを (その符号位置にその文字がある場合でさえ) 選択していませんでした。
-
PS Type3 フォントの読み込み時に、グリフの解析中にグリフ名が利用可能であるかどうか確認するようにしたので、理解しやすいエラーメッセージ (ほとんどの場合は、"スプラインの幅が太すぎます" というものですが) が表示できるようになりました。
-
スプラインの幅が太すぎるというエラーメッセージをフォント1個につき1回しか出力しないように変更。
-
Adam Goode が、フォーマット 12 (32 ビット Unicode) の CMap が間違っていることを指摘し、修正パッチを提供しました。
-
ストロークコマンドをスクラッチから大々的に書き直し。
-
合字キャレットまたは入れ子になった照合を含むフォントに別のフォントを併合しようとするとクラッシュしていました。
-
FontForge が提案済みの文字 dotlessj (U+0237) を認識するようにしたので、ここか Adobe の私用領域のどちらか (フォントにどちらが含まれるかにより異なる) を用いるようになりました。
-
FontForge は、pala.ttf に含まれる逆向きのブリーブに依存するアクセントつき文字を構築しようとするとクラッシュを起こしていました。
-
pala.ttf が微妙に傾いている (0.0005°) と間違って解釈していました。
-
構築をイタリックフォントで行うとクラッシュするようになっていました。
-
PostScript (Type3 フォント、EPS ファイル) の反時計回りの、線描きと塗りつぶしの両方を含むパスを取り込もうとすると問題を起こしていました。
-
OTB フォントのバージョンスタンプを 'OTTO' から 1.0 に変更。
-
2003年12月10日
-
同じタグに複数の機能が存在する場合に (例えば、用字系の異なる 'kern' があるとき) FontForge は異なる照合を作成しないで同じ照合のコピーを複数作成していました。
-
FontForge は、右横書き照合フラグビットをヘブライ文字に対して (また、おそらくアラビア文字に対しても) 正しくセットしていませんでした。
-
重複除去が、合体してはならないスプラインを合体させている場合がありました。
-
線幅拡大の誤字が、ラウンドジョインの時に非常に奇妙な結果をもたらしすことがありました。
-
2003年12月5日
-
フォント情報ダイアログや ScaleToEm() で高さ/深さを変更したときに、OS/2 フィールドのいくつが正確に更新されていませんでした。
-
OS/2 の TypoDescent フィールドが負の値でなく正の値に設定されていました。
-
スクリプトが PS 名前文字列と同様に TrueType 名前文字列にアクセスできるように SetTTFName() と GetTTFName() を追加しました。
-
Kazuyuki からのパッチ。SetPanose に配列を引数に与えたときにうまく動いていませんでした。
-
Pierre からの新しいフランス語訳。
-
$copyright が正しいデータを返していませんでした (Giuseppe Ghibo からのパッチ)
-
非 ASCII の Unicode 文字のカーニングペアが、SVG フォントに正しく出力されていませんでした。
-
AddATT() スクリプトコマンドが合字を正しく追加しておらず、フォント出力時に問題を起こしていました。
-
2003年11月23日
-
FontForge が理解できないエンコーディング名を与えられたらクラッシュしていました。
-
フォントビューから中央揃え/1:2の揃えを行うとクラッシュしていました。
-
TrueType デバッガに同期問題があってデッドロックを引き起こしていました。
-
FontForge は文脈依存の範囲照合を正しく読み込めていませんでした (文脈連鎖依存の照合は問題ありません)。
-
2003年11月10日
-
符号化方式によって指定された範囲の外の文字符号をもつビットマップフォント (例: 文字 0x10000 を含む Unicode BMP フォント) を読み込むと、FontForge がクラッシュしていました。
-
太田一樹によるいくつかのメモリリーク修正。
-
表示→組合せ→合字 ダイアログのいくつかの細かい改良。
-
2003年11月8日
-
11/6 に持ち込まれたバグ。FontForge はビットマップを含む TTF アウトラインフォントの出力時に不正な‘loca’テーブルを出力していました。
-
SFD ファイルからアウトラインを読み込む時に、FontForge は TrueType の点番号を間違えてつけていました。
-
loca テーブルの長さが 2 バイトか 4 バイトの時、FontForge はグリフの個数が間違っていると警告していました。
-
FontForge は、2 つの TrueType グリフが同じ名前をもっていると混乱していました。
-
埋め込まれた TTF ビットマップを書き出す時、FontForge は余分なグリフ (.null と return) で混乱して、ゴミを書き出していました。
-
表示→組合せ→合字 ダイアログを非ラテン文字に関して少し改良しました。
-
2003年11月6日
-
The clut used for drawing anti-alias bitmaps in the metrics view was wrong.
-
In a bitmap only ttf file, FontForge was usually producing bad line spacing
data as far as the mac was concerned.
-
When importing bitmaps into an empty font, we might as well change to font
view to show the bitmaps rather than the empty outline data.
-
If glyph 0 was selected in the fontview then the File->Open Outline command
was disabled.
-
With a user defined encoding we were again getting occasional crashes.
(introduced by my work on bitmaps)
-
On certain glyphs, the optimizer introduced an slight error when calculating
a spline's coefficients from its control point. Even though this error was
on the order of 7e-8 it was enough that the rasterizer produced grossly incorrect
results. I have pulled the relevant routine out into its own file which is
now compiled by itself without optimization.
-
2003年11月4日
-
When FontForge removes glyphs with Font Info->Encoding->Number of
characters, it will now run through the font and remove any ligatures,
substitutions, etc. refering to non-existent glyph names.
-
Some improvements to remove overlap.
-
Added a warning message so that when user attempts to output a ttf file where
no characters have unicode encodings, then the user at least gets warned
that the result will probably not work. For fonts with fewer than 256 glyphs
it will offer the choice of a symbol encoding.
-
If a reference were copied in the outline character view and pasted into
the font view, fontforge would crash.
-
the expand stroke patch on 29-Sept broke calligraphic and ellipse modes.
-
The mouse's scroll wheel did not work in the metrics view.
-
The metrics view resized very slowly under window managers which do continuous
resizing.
-
Give the magnifying glass's rectangle mode a threshold so that it doesn't
resize tiny rectangles which are really caused by mouse jitter.
-
Attempt to set a zoom size for character and bitmap windows, but modern window
managers don't seem to support the old protocol, and I can't find docs on
a new version.
-
Was not converting filenames to unicode properly for the open/generate progress
dlgs.
-
FontForge would crash when attempting to draw a character for which in had
no (X11) glyph when doing bidirectional text.
-
2003年10月29日
-
When removing an ATT feature from a glyph using a script, FontForge would
screw up memory. Leading to unpredictable results.
-
2003年10月28日
-
FontForge would crash when converting from cubic to quadratic splines in
a script
-
FontForge would leave a dangling pointer when converting from cubic to quadratic.
This did not affect ttf generation, but would affect most other operations.
-
2003年10月27日
-
FontForge would crash when changing the encoding of a font with a .notdef
character to a user defined encoding.
-
If one had multiple ligatures for the same glyph with the same tag and script,
FontForge would eat all but one of them.
-
When generating most kinds of font, of a font which had ligatures containing
glyph names that were not in the font, then FontForge would often screw up
memory and eventually crash.
-
2003年10月26日
-
Simplify sometimes removed points at extrema even when it should not have
-
If one had a ttf font (with instructions) and merged in a postscript font
and then generated a ttf font, FontForge would complain about an internal
error, but go on to produce a valid font. It should no longer complain.
-
When generating fonts from a script, if the font were in compacted format
the generated font would have a compact encoding (instead of the desired
encoding).
-
Kanou provided a patch to speed up importing bitmap fonts.
-
2003年10月23日
-
The change on the 20th to make custom encoding support 32bit unicode was
incomplete and made custom encodings crash instead.
-
The File->Display dialog ignored the left-sidebearing of a glyph causing
output of some fonts to look awful.
-
Was getting the AdobeStandardEncoding a bit wrong (after the 5-Oct change
to the new unicode glyph list which does not contain "fi" nor "fl")
-
I used to set the "widthset" bit on .notdef characters, but there's really
no point to that.
-
Maxim Iorsh tells me that U+fb4f should be a historic ligature.
-
On some displays right scrolling the Histogram dlg would leave black lines
on the window.
-
AutoHint removed too many stems from consideration as hints on some very
bold fonts
-
Make FontBBox of Type1 fonts be executable. Adobe says it doesn't have to
be, but dvips expects it to be.
-
2003年10月20日
-
Windows XP & 2000 insist on having (what cygwin describes as) the execute
bit of the file set. So FontForge now sets execute permissions on ttf, otf
and pfb fonts on the cygwin platform.
-
If a menu was so big that it had to be positioned over the menubar (instead
of above or below it), and the user clicked on the menubar to invoke it,
then the mouse release would go to the new menu and invoke whatever item
happened to be under the cursor. Not good.
-
Oops. The Effects sub-menu should have been disabled for quadratic (truetype)
fonts.
-
Added a new configuration option --with-regular-link to disable my dlopening
of libraries. I dislike this. I don't think it is anywhere near as flexible
as the dlopen method. It makes it much harder to ship something that will
work with freetype (detecting whether the bytecode interpreter is present
must be done at link time rather than run time and that is a severe disadvantage.
But I have been asked for it.
-
Change internal format so that custom encodings can handle 32 bit unicode.
-
2003年10月16日
-
FontForge was still outputting a disordered name table.
-
The source tarball on the website included many files twice and some files
that it should not have included at all. I should now be less than half the
size it used to be.
-
2003年10月15日
-
FontForge did not bother to open files in binary mode. If cygwin was configured
with DOS linebreaks, then fontforge failed to generate valid font files on
cygwin.
-
Added some more warnings to the default build list and fixed the problems
they indicated.
-
2003年10月12日
-
Several bad bugs in last night's build (name table was (usually) all screwed
up, conversion from PS to TTF got incorrect Internal Error msgs)
-
Order tables in truetype output
-
My 5-Oct-2003 libpng fix broke it completely. Should now be refixed.
-
2003年10月11日
-
Another patch from Kanou to recognize encodings better in bdf files.
-
Various memory fixes found by valgrind
-
The Element->Find Problems->ATT->Missing glyph names fixup dlg had
some formatting problems and failed to skip properly.
-
Draw an "x" through encodings which do not map to glyphs
-
If the user is in a compacted encoding and asks to print a font, then revert
to the uncompacted encoding for the duration of the printing.
-
View->Show ATT would show ligatures (and substitutions) even if some of
the glyphs in the glyph list were missing.
-
Fix a number of bugs found by the MS Font Validator
-
I misunderstood (and the spec incorrectly documented) the behavior of the
maxp table
-
I had a typo in figuring out the OS/2 table
-
I had one more case where I was computing the point count of a glyph incorrectly.
-
Make the width line snap to zero when the user drags near it.
-
2003年10月6日
-
Give the Metrics View a vertical mode in which it does vertical kerning,
etc.
-
Add a hack to allow FontForge to parse a weird pfb file.
-
2003年10月6日
-
Fixed a number of bugs in the new kerning class dlg including:
-
Vertical kerning classes were displayed horizontally
-
When adding a new class the new offsets were garbage
-
The routine to convert a horizontal kerning class to the equivalent vertical
kerning class (of the vertical variants of the glyphs in the horizontal class)
didn't work.
-
In Back and Lookup Classes of a contextual chaining substitution by class,
the [New] button was never enabled. (it was disabled if []SameAs was on,
and then never enabled).
-
My new 94x94 encodings were actually 93x93. Patch by kanou.
-
2003年10月5日
-
Got rid of GreekFixup and added Interpretations of encodings to FontInfo
-
FontForge failed to output ligature substitutions nested under a context/chain
sub
-
If a font had more than about 5 nested ligatures, fontforge would screw up
its memory and (likely) crash
-
Fixed various problems pertaining to adding a kerning class to an empty font
-
Add a runtime check for the case where the user's system has a dynamic libpng
installed without libz
-
If a character had ligature carets then FontForge could crash when determining
its script
-
FontForge was reading mac 'kern' format 3 incorrectly.
-
Rewrote the Kerning class creation dialog. I hope it is clearer now.
-
2003年10月2日
-
got rid of my strange 94x94 encodings for JIS/KSC/GB (based on the kuten
array) and used instead the much more obvious encoding that everyone else
uses.
-
BDF files were output with the wrong encoding name for JISX0208 (I was outputting
"JISX208" instead-- missing a "0").
-
Autotrace failed to read potrace output properly if there were more than
one contour in a given glyph.
-
Upgraded psunicodenames to the current Adobe Glyph List for New Fonts.
-
Simplify now works for quadratic splines. If one uses the []Allow Slopes
to Change checkbox then results are not good. I need a better algorithm.
-
If asked to generate a type0 postscript font for a font encoded with an extended
1byte encoding (ie. one that had about 300 characters) FontForge would probably
crash.
-
2003年9月29日
-
When a path was both stroked and filled (in a postscript/eps file), fontforge
would ignore the stroke.
-
I forgot that the stroke linewidth needs to be transformed by the current
transformation matrix. This meant that when a path should have been stroked
by an ellipse (when reading a ps/eps file) fontforge would blithely stroke
it with a circle.
-
Added some support for reading the /Metrics array.
-
If there were a sharp corner (where the "radius of curvature" of the corner
was less than the radius of the pen used to stroke the path) then FontForge
would generate an incorrect path.
-
Round line joins were not a good approximation to circular arcs.
-
When filling the outline character view, rounding errors caused the fill
bitmap to stray from the outline.
-
Extend the functionality of the magnifying (or minifying) tool so that if
the user drags out a rectangle with it then the view will be shifted and
scaled so that rectangle fits in the window.
-
FontForge will no longer auto-generate hints on non-integral boundaries.
In Type1 fonts such hints become meaningless and just confuse things.
-
FontForge will now draw a halo around points which will be part of a flex
hint. See the UpdateFlex preference item.
-
FontForge now has as set of commands for manipulating typographic features
in large lumps rather than one at a time.
-
Copy features from one font to another
-
Remove certain features
-
Give features a new tag
-
I have greatly rewritten the code for dealing with AAT fonts
-
FontForge now supports mac feature/setting values to be used as feature tags
as well as opentype 4 letter tags
-
FontForge will now read any feature in even if it doesn't map to an opentype
tag
-
FontForge understands the most of the state machines in the morx/mort tables
(it does not understand ligature state machines, it parses these for all
unconditional ligatures, but it will miss any conditional ones).
-
FontForge now lets you edit apple state machines
-
FontForge lets you specify feature/setting names in the font to override
the default values specified in preferences
-
Added support for reading Apple's format 3 kern sub-table format (another
way of storing a kerning class)
-
Oops. SVG didn't read relative movetos properly in a path option. Patch by
Kengo Ichiki.
-
Simplify had a bug when passed a path which consisted of a single point with
a zero length spline connecting it to itself
-
Simplify was not greyed out properly in quadratic fonts
-
Some of the low-level error routines consumed massive amounts of cpu time
while waiting for events
-
The PostScript parsing routines would sometimes think that "noaccess" was
part of the value of something in the private dictionary.
-
Several other patches to importing images by templates from scripts. By Kengo
Ichiki
-
Importing pcf bitmaps into the background had some problems.
-
2003年9月4日
-
the 17-Aug addition of context/chaining broke anchor classes. Should be fixed
now.
-
Károly László has added Hungarian translations for the
style codes to Font Info->TTF Names
-
If a font had comments, an svg file generated from it had syntax errors.
-
Add support for generating multilingual strings (in 'name') for the apple
platform.
-
Add support for the packed gb2312 which mac and windows seem to use.
-
Make a UniqueID of -1 in Font Info mean that the font has no UniqueID.
-
2003年8月31日
-
Add problems for maximum number of hints (96) and maximum number of subroutine
nests (references) ~10.
-
I looked at AppleChancery again and figured out why I was having trouble
parsing its 'mort' ligature tables, and put in code to make it easy to parse
tables of this type.
-
After figuring that out, I realized there was a bug in my own table generation.
Suppose we have two ligatures "f l => fl" and "s t => st", and are
given "fst". Then my table would fail to find the "st" ligature. The state
of 'read "f" waiting for "l"' would see that it didn't get an "l" and revert
back to the initial state. It should instead have checked to see if "s" could
start a ligature in its own right, and if so jump to the 'got "s" waiting
for "t"' state.
-
The same fix needs to be done for contextual glyph substitution.
-
2003年8月29日
-
FontForge failed to display the morx table if all it contained were simple
substitutions.
-
FontForge generated incorrect simple substitution (AAT) tables if it found
a substitution with no valid elements
-
New problem for find problems. Check for characters with more than 1500 points
in them.
-
FontForge will now draw selected points in a different color (currently yellow),
and draws them bolder. This makes them stand out better for Find Problems
(but also makes it harder to distinguish between corner and curved points).
-
Redid the way FontForge handled arabic forms in AAT. Old method was cleaner
but depended on behavior which is unspecified in Apple's docs.
-
2003年8月27日
-
環境設定ダイアログが7月12日以来壊れていました。環境設定ダイアログの [フォント情報] タブで設定した情報はおそらく全部でたらめなデータでしょう。
-
FontForge wasn't always getting the script/lang right when filling in the
fields of the New Substitution dlg.
-
The newly generated apple state machines for context/chaining were quite
wrong. I hope I've got them right now.
-
The []PSNames checkbox (in Generate Font, Options dlg) did the opposite of
what it was documented to do. Behavior has been changed to conform to the
documentation (and expectations).
-
FontForge would crash when loading some sfd files from a few months ago.
-
2003年8月26日
-
When I added metadata to svg fonts (20-Aug) I inadvertently put in two closing
metadata tags. Which broke the font.
-
Fixed a bug conversion of context/chain coverage sub-table into a morx subtable.
-
Figured out in what cases I could generate a morx subtable from context/chain
glyph or class format subtables.
-
Fixed problems reading required features from ttf files.
-
Updated French UI
-
2003年8月25日
-
View->Show ATT didn't show contextual/chaining tables even if they would
be put in the 'morx' table
-
View->Show ATT had problems showing anything in 'morx'
-
Make it possible to edit contextual/chaining lookups that are formatted by
class
-
parsing/generating ttf files with class format context/chaining had problems
-
loading a class format context/chaining lookup caused memory problems when
closing the file.
-
FontForge would sometimes lose track of script/languages of lookups when
reading from a ttf file
-
Added a conversion routine from glyph to class format context/chain
-
Kanou points out that not all encodings available in Font Info->Encoding
are present in the scripting interface, and fixes that.
-
2003年8月22日
-
Fix simplify again
-
Patch from Andrey V. Panov to improve bluevalues
-
KDE refused to make the find problems explanation window visible, so now
I shan't make it invisible in the first place.
-
Generate mac family crashed instead (introduced 2-July)
-
2003年8月20日
-
Support for potrace
-
Fix some bugs with simplify more
-
Mac build was badly configured and linked with a shared library it should
not have.
-
When compiled with -O2 fontforge had rounding errors which resulted in a
bad bezier order3=>order2 conversion (PS->TTF)
-
SetPanose sometimes didn't
-
Patch from KANOU to set ulUnicodeRange for version 4
-
2003年8月18日
-
FontForge は SVG の相対パスを正しく解釈しておらず、SVG 出力も正しくありませんでした。FontForge は誤って、Type1 の rcurveto (各点の座標を開始点からの相対値で指定する) と同様の解釈ではなく rrcurveto (各点の座標を演算子中の前の点からの相対値で指定する) と同様の解釈で SVG を解釈していました。
-
If FontForge opened a Bold font stored in OTF CFF format, then when it closed
that font it would either crash, or screw up memory so that a crash would
happen later.
-
2003年8月17日
-
Support for contextual, chaining contextual and reverse chaining contextual
sub-tables of GPOS/GSUB.
-
Will generate an Apple contextual glyph substitution table if:
-
There is an apple feature which matches the otf tag
-
The sub-table is in coverage format
-
The sub-table contains either exactly one nested single glyph replacement
substitution, or
it contains exactly two single glyph replacements and one of them refers
to the last glyph matched (and the other does not)
-
KANOU points out that on screens with high dpi FontForge would sometimes
draw splines 2 pixels wide and sometimes 1 pixel wide (122dpi had this effect)
-
KANOU provided another patch for reading bitmaps one part covered a memory
leak the other fixed a bug reading ttc files.
-
Added a LoadEncodingFile scripting command
-
New french ui.
-
FontForge was using the wrong definition of ascent & descent to set those
fields in the 'hhea' table. This confused some mac programs (perhaps others).
-
Added a "BBox" item to CharInfo scripting.
-
Added a FontsInFile scripting command to return an array containing the fontnames
of all fonts in a file. If an error occurs, a zero length array is returned.
-
Change so that when opening a file containing multiple fonts the font's filename
contains the fontname (so it is possible to open other fonts from the same
file).
-
Kanou provides a patch for compressing bitmaps with more than 8 bits of white
space to their left.
-
Markus Schwarzenberg provides a patch to make fontforge recognize $cidfamilyname
as it should have done.
-
Add the ability to generate fonts which contain both OpenType and Apple Advanced
Typography tables (ie. a font that should work everywhere).
-
Added Utf8(int), Chr(int), Ord(int) to interconvert between strings and their
encodings.
-
Add two problems to Find problems
-
Search for substitutions, contexts, kerning classes, etc. which refer to
a name which does not match any glyph in the font
-
Search for contexts, chains, etc. which refer to a nested lookup which does
not exist
-
Add a new command line argument "-last" which will load the last sfd file
closed.
-
FontForge would crash when importing bitmap fonts
-
FontForge would crash when trying to do an Element->Default ATT->Suffix
to Tag command
-
2003年8月3日
-
I still wasn't getting r2l kerns correct
-
Add support for vertical kerning
-
In 'GPOS', 'kern' tables of Open/TrueType
-
In SVG fonts
-
menu commands
-
Remove VKern
-
Vertical Kern By Classes
-
VKern From HKern
-
scripting
-
RemoveVKern
-
SetVKern
-
VKernFromHKern
-
Add a "VKern" item to CharInfo
-
SelectByATT() の type 引数の解釈が変更されました!!!

-
Add a $panose command to return an array of panose values (scripting)
-
Add a SetPanose command allowing scripts to change panose values
-
FontForge was not rotating .vert glyphs properly
-
2003年7月31日
-
Installed KANOU's fix for a buffer overrun
-
Installed KANOU's fix for compacted cid-keyed fonts
-
Fixed another bug with compacted cid-keyed fonts
-
Mathias Wollin points out that my pfm files don't have the correct kerning
table format
-
Handles the case where a font has both a 'glyf' and a 'CFF ' table by asking
user which to use
-
Various improvements to the goto dialog from James Crippen.
-
If the ttf "Apple" box got checked then it remained checked in subsequent
Generate Fonts even though the [Options] dialog did not show it checked.
-
FontForge would crash if given an Anchor class with no marks.
-
Hmm... I notice that volt only uses format 2 coverage tables. I wonder if
windows fails to handle format 1 tables...
-
2003年7月30日
-
Add support for svg fonts
(and add dependency on libxml2 for reading them in)
-
Add support for importing/exporting svg files (again libxml2 needed for import)
-
Add support for required features.
-
In quadratic fonts the ellipse tool did not draw ellipses
-
Add support for rectangles/ellipses drawn center out rather than just within
the bounding box
-
Preserve the rect/ellipse tool settings across invocations
-
Put a license entry into the help menu
-
2003年7月20日
-
made the default linux browser be mozilla rather than netscape.
-
If the metrics view were displaying an anchored pair (mark-base), and a character
were typed into the text field at top before the anchored pair, then the
display got very strange.
-
FontForge got confused when merging a font which contained multiple encodings
for the same glyph
-
FontForge got confused if there were an lparen in a directory name (thought
this meant a font collection).
-
2003年7月15日
-
We weren't parsing any type3 fonts properly any more
-
Extend our ps interpreter to understand some of METAPOST's idioms better.
-
I used to call all characters which weren't in the encoding ".notdef" this
could cause problems if a user forgot to name them. I now give them unique
names starting with "NameMe". I still leave characters <256 called ".notdef"
if the encoding calls for it, this may be a mistake...
-
Fix on 14-July to simplify was incomplete.
-
More fiddling with autohint
-
Added support for the new X11 opentype bitmap format.
-
2003年7月14日 (Bastille Day!)
-
There are still cases where I'm getting the truetype point count wrong. If
a truetype file had a control point that lay under an end point, then I would
treat that as a "no control point" mark, and ignore the cp. But if I do that
blindly I mess up the point count, so during font generation I must be prepared
to put the cp back.
-
Kanou provided a patch to fix a bug in the underlying graphics library.
-
Add a popup menu to Show Att to allow those data to be saved (as utf8 text)
-
Fixed (I hope) right to left kerning
-
Added 'ccmp' entries by default for Hebrew
-
Fixed a couple of bugs with the new simplify more options
-
fontforge didn't compile on solaris. It now does.
-
2003年7月12日
-
Remove weirdness in scripting interface to TeX font parameters
-
Kanou points out that the code for reading format 4 embedded (ttf) bitmaps
was ambiguous and would behave incorrectly sometimes. He provided a patch.
-
FontForge used not to create ghost hints for curved splines. It does now.
-
FontForge did not find some of the hints needed for n021004l.pfb
-
New French UI
-
FontForge would sometimes crash when autotracing characters
-
Don't snap to points when moving control points
-
Directory browsing didn't work if the local encoding wasn't latin1 and the
directory name contain non-ascii characters.
-
Add an entry to find problems to look for 'GSUB' entries to non-existent
characters.
-
Expanded the simplify more command
-
The GPOS output routines got very unhappy if a duplicate glyph happened to
have GPOS data. Fixed on both ends I hope.
-
The pcf reader was unhappy if
-
the glyph bb width was a multiple of 8 (we read an extra byte per line which
made the result appear as garbage)
-
several glyphs had the same name.
-
the FontInfo dlg failed to parse the merge_with field of Anchor Classes properly,
meaning that each time [OK] was pressed in fontinfo each anchor class name
got a number prepended to it.
-
Change the way the merge_with field of anchor classes is handled by the UI
so that it makes more sense. We used to display a number, now display the
name of another anchor class with which it can be merged.
-
Added an arabic text sample, courtesy of Thomas Milo.
-
Unicode 4.0 に更新 (注意: libuninameslist も一緒に更新されました)
-
Added a new preference item CharCenterHighest to assist in accent placement.
-
Oh. This isn't documented, but each langsys table can only point to one (1)
feature with a given tag. So if I have multiple 'mark' lookups, I can't have
multiple 'mark' features, I must have one 'mark' feature with pointers to
many lookups.
-
FontForge could crash when generating a tfm file from a CID keyed font
-
Change GDEF output so that the class def table isn't generated when it isn't
needed (we used to generate a 0 length one, which would confuse the freetype-1
opentype code, and perhaps others).
-
Fixed a bug in autohint caused by negative stem widths.
-
2003年7月4日
-
Added a page to the font info dlg which allows users to set TeX font parameters
-
Added a mechanism for specifying TeX charlists and extension characters
-
Added a mechanism for specifying TeX Italic Correction
-
Revamped support for reading tfm files so that it sets all these new things
correctly.
-
2003年7月2日
-
Add an Options dialog to the Generate Font window, and remove the check boxes
from it.
-
Add a UI for the 'PfEd' table
-
Add a UI to turn off PostScript hinting
-
FontForge can now generate a tfm and enc file (for TeX)
-
2003年6月30日
-
TrueType/OpenType ファイルの先頭にあるテーブル一覧に出力された GDEF テーブルのサイズが間違っていました。それにより、多くのアプリケーションがこのテーブルを無視していました。それにより、マークから基底文字へ位置指定を行う GPOS テーブルが無視される結果となっていました。 (少なくとも存在する問題がこれだけであることを祈ります)。
-
On the mac local help files weren't working properly.
-
Combining unicode characters (mark glyphs) should have an advance width of
0, and now they default to that.
-
Several people at EuroTeX wanted more pen shapes in the expand stroke dlg.
Ellipses are easy, so we add them.
-
One guy at EuroTeX wanted to be able to store arbitrary per-glyph data in
the font, so add a new (private) true/open type table that can contain the
glyph comments. This table has tag 'PfEd' and can contain sub-tables containing
font comment, glyph comments, glyph colors. Perhaps other data as need arises.
-
Kanou has added a new scripting command, SizeOf, to return the number of
elements in an array.
-
2003年6月19日
-
Added a histogram dialog to help figure values for StemSnap[H/V]
-
2003年6月17日
-
Scripting interface to SelectByATT
-
Crash bug caused by incorrect CID fix on 15-June
-
(the web interface to the cvs tree seems broken. It doesn't show rmligamarks).
Here's a copy of rmligamarks.c.
-
2003年6月15日
-
Cleaned up the spelling of some scripts.
-
Deactive the [Edit] button of the Script/Lang list when appropriate.
-
FontForge wasn't removing the quotes around the copyright notice when read
from a bdf file. After several rounds of read/save there were lots of quotes.
-
Added a wireframe effect.
-
Added a find problems entry which will check for control points which are
very close to their main point (so close that it is unlikely that they will
effect the curve much).
-
The Undo command from the font view did not reset the character changed bit.
-
GDEF table output had problems with cid-keyed fonts.
-
So did 'prop' table output.
-
Expanded View->Show ATT to show 'GDEF', 'lcar', 'prop', 'opbd' tables.
-
Added a Ligatures entry for View->Combinations in the outline character
view
-
Added "Edit->Select->Select by ATT", to allow user to select characters
depending on advanced typographic features.
-
FontForge はすべての合字に対して常に「結合マークを無視」ビットをセットしていました。しかし yudit (おそらく gedit も) はこのビットが設定されていると置換を処理しません。その一方、いくつかのアラビア文字の合字はこのビットに依存していると思います (少なくとも arabtype-volt.ttf はこれを使用しています)。そういうわけで…今後はこのビットを結合符号を含まないアラビア文字の合字に対してのみセットすることに決めました。これが正しいかどうかはシラネ。
-
私は rmligamarks という、SFD ファイルを引数にとり、「結合マークを無視」ビットがセットされてはいるが合字に対してはそれをオフにするための小さなツールを作成しました。これは何をするべきかを推測せずに、常にそのビットをオフにします。
-
2003年6月5日
-
FontForge was generating Apple 'morx' tables with the right to left bit reversed
(so it thought latin text was right to left and arabic was left to right).
This meant that ligatures happened backwards (the "ffi" ligature would be
invoked if you typed in "iff")
-
FontForge was generating a format=1 glyph class definition sub-table of GDEF.
ttx didn't like this, I'm not sure why. Problem goes away if I generate a
format=2 sub-table.
-
2003年6月4日
-
Added a Shadow effect
-
More fixes for remove overlap
-
fixed a bug with timers
-
Preserve the Fit To Em mode of a font.
-
Added a bunch of scripts (as in writing systems, not executable files) from
the proposed ISO 15924 standard.
-
Added support for underline position to bdf files.
-
The 18-May build was bad and failed to read postscript fonts properly on
many platforms (the sources were ok, but the builds were bad)
-
Display the version number in the about box, and attach it to the directory
in the source .tgz file.
-
2003年5月18日
-
FontForge would crash when asked to produce a ttf font where there was an
unused anchor class.
-
The original encoding is now preserved when a font is generated.
-
The goto dialog (and scripting) now recognize "glyph<nnn>" as refering
to glyph <nnn> in the original encoding.
-
Kanou provided two scripting commands, ConvertToCID and ConvertByCMap.
-
Added a Remove External flag to Expand Stroke to complement Kanou's Remove
Internal
-
Expanded on Remove Overlap by adding
-
Intersection -- which removes everything except the overlap
-
Exclude -- which removes areas where any selected contours cross non-selected
contours (and then removes the selected contours)
-
Added an Effects sub-menu of Elements, including (so far)
-
Outline -- turns the selected characters into outline versions of themselves
-
Inline -- turns the selected characters into inline versions of themselves
-
FontForge would crash when reading in an sfd file containing a kerning class
-
gimp objected to some of my ttf fonts. I think because it is inappropriately
clipping to the ascent/descent values in the hhea rather than using the font's
bounding box. It's easy enough to preserve the 'hhea' ascent/descent values
and perhaps that will be enough to make gimp happy.
-
Kanou points out that rasterization has problems with the new TOfNextMajor,
so use the new code for remove overlap and friends and the old code for
rasterization
-
2003年5月12日
-
Added a command to do non-linear transformations (but made it require user
configuration to have it compiled)
-
Added a UI for Kanou's Remove Internal flag to Expand stroke
-
2003年5月9日
-
Apple's 'lcar' (ligature caret) table was being generated incorrectly
-
Another bug in point numbering
-
Make "Slanted" a synonym for Oblique.
-
2003年5月8日
-
FontForge did not recognize "filename(fontname)" notation for loading a specific
font from a resource fork of a mac file.
-
FontForge crashed on the mac when generating a GPOS table. There was an
uninitialized variable there, left behind be recent changes. Removed.
-
2003年5月7日
-
Oops. It should be legal for a 'mkmk' anchor class to have two points in
a glyph, one the normal mark point, the other the base mark point. (that
is it should be possible for a glyph to attach to itself).
-
Kanou supplied a patch to extend expand stroke.
-
Changed behavior of AnchorClasses so that two classes could be associated
to form a single feature (ie. one class of "Above" marks, and one class of
"Below" marks)
-
Show ATT now displays something meaningful for marks
-
Some general Anchor Class clean up.
-
Was not setting bits in the CodePage[1] field of the OS/2 table for all the
weird MS specific encodings. It seems I should do that.
-
2003年5月6日
-
Although undocumented, digits behave just like lower case letters in macintosh
filenames for postscript resource fonts.
-
Looking at the font info->ttf values dialog would cause fontforge to crash
after [Ok] was pressed.
-
Old sfd files with anchor classes but not script lang index would crash fontforge
when being read in.
-
2003年5月5日
-
Made it possible to select kerning class 0 (ie. everything that isn't specified)
-
Put in a check to make sure the user didn't add a glyph to two different
kerning classes
-
FontForge は、サブテーブルが適用される各文字に対して完全な GSUB サブテーブルをダンプしていました (全部の文字に対して 1 個のサブテーブルをダンプするのではなく)。それにより山ほど重複していました。
-
FontForge は不正なオフセットを保持した拡張サブテーブルを出力していました。
-
Added some code to protect FontForge when it read incorrect ttf fonts like
those generated above.
-
Drag and Drop to the Char Info dlg was broken.
-
If a font had a non-notdef character at encoding 0 and we used freetype to
generate bitmaps for it, then those bitmaps would be assigned to the wrong
glyphs (ie. the bitmap for "A" would go to "B", etc.)
-
I used "Mac Roman" in several places where I should have said "Macintosh
Latin"
-
2003年5月4日
-
Added code to determine better defaults for the script lang index
-
The ligature state table in Apple Chancery has so many possible paths through
it that FontForge bogs down when evaluating it. I presume it would finish
in finite time, but it takes unacceptably long. So I've put in an abort.
-
Add support for KernClasses (ie. they are no longer just converted into a
large number of kernpairs, but will be stored internally as a set class and
will be output as such). And they have their own dialogs to manage them.
-
Add support for Apple's new version of the 'kern' table.
-
Apple の 'kern' テーブルのフォーマット 2 サブテーブルのサポートを追加 (これは OpenType の kern テーブルの フォーマット 2 サブテーブルとは別物です) し、Apple モードを指定したときのカーニングクラスサブテーブルとなります(注意: Apple の文書 は間違っています。彼らは、クラスデータは uint8 の配列に格納していると書いていますが、実際のフォントでは uint16 の配列に格納しています。
-
2003年4月29日
-
Oops, one more fix to remove overlap
-
Kanou points out that copy hasn't been working (for some time now) when a
contour has be split into bits, only one of the bits is copied.
-
Kanou points out that Paste reorders open contours
-
Further work on Show ATT dlg
-
Further work on multiple features.
-
2003年4月28日
-
Yet more fixes for Remove overlap
-
Added a mode to the ruler tool where it shows the exact position of the mouse
cursor
-
The Goto command had a strange bug: If a font had a glyph with a known name,
but that glyph did not reside at the unicode slot assigned to that name,
then goingto that name would go to the (empty) unicode slot, rather than
to the actually character.
-
Werner wants a dlg which shows collects all the
GPOS/GSUB (morx/kern) information in one place rather than scattering it
around hundreds of dlgs.
-
FontForge now stores the script/langs for kern pairs
-
FontForge failed to read script/langs for GPOS properly.
-
FontForge had problems generating an AFM file from a CID font with ligatures
-
FontForge had problems getting script lang lists right when multiple features
refered to the same lookup.
-
2003年4月20日
-
One of FontForge's deficiencies is that it handles multiple encodings for
the same glyph very badly (it does not have the multiple layers of indirection
that fonts do). Rather than solve this properly I have added a new command
that allows for this case.
SameGlyphAs.
-
Add some more synonyms for greek glyph names
-
Failed to realize that U+1FED was an accent
-
No longer tries to build greek accents out of latin ones when Build Accented
is invoked. (but still will for Build Composite).
-
When swapping character names, check for names like "uniXXXX" and instead
of swapping it, rebuild it as appropriate for the other character.
-
Font Info->Encoding failed to change the encoding properly when switching
from "Compacted" to anything other than the original encoding.
-
A couple of changes to the italian translation
-
Added an "Original" encoding which gives you back the ordering of the glyphs
in the ttf font. (this may be changed when you regenerate a ttf font)
-
FontForge failed to read ttf instructions for composite glyphs.
-
FontForge got confused if a ttf file had multiple glyphs named ".notdef"
(which to me looks like a bug in the ttf font, but Times New Roman does this
so I have to deal with it).
-
Added a command to the popup menu in the charview to bring up a window looking
at a reference.
-
Add a check for when sfd files contain bad kerning info.
-
2003年4月14日
-
Change a tab in Font Info from "PS General" to "General"
-
When searching for encoding files, look for the extension ".enc" used by
TeX for PostScript encoding files
-
Fixed a crash when setting a character's name to a name already given to
another character
-
Added many new X resources for controlling colors in the outline character
view.
-
2003年4月7日
-
Program generated divide by zero errors when using Meta-Shift to move a control
point which didn't exist.
-
(cleaned up some syntax issues in non-English nomen files)
-
Added new scripting commands ClearPrivateEntry, ChangePrivateEntry,
GetPrivateEntry
-
Added new scripting command: UnicodeFromName
-
Added new script command: RemoveATT
-
Vadim pointed out that loading "pala.ttf" and then generating it again (as
ttf) produced bad results. FontForge was getting confused by the points which
were used to control Anchors, getting its points list out of order and generally
screwing up.
-
2003年4月04日
-
autosave sometimes lost track of which font it should be applying changes
to.t
-
Add Extrema (or just adding a point in the middle of a spline) would generate
incorrect splines if the spline were linear in one but not both of the two
dimensions
-
One more change to Merge/Simplify. Deal with the case of a curve point with
no control point (use the control point in the opposite direction to get
the slope).
-
Typo in 2-Apr script/lang fix caused crashes.
-
TeXBaseEncoding (T1) changed in Oct-2002. Updated my version (also updated
the other TeX encodings I've got and included the cyrillic ones into
Encodings.ps.gz)
-
Sometimes we failed to remove the dot when creating a dotless i/j character.
-
Merge/Simplify had conniptions when given a zero length spline.
-
Added "DefaultATT" and "AddATT" scripting command to allow user to add Advanced
Typography features to characters.
-
2003年4月2日
-
Problems with script/lang when: Pasting or Merging ligatures and substitutions
from one font to another
-
FontForge could generate points (within a ttf simple glyph) in a different
than the original glyph, meaning that the instructions would move the wrong
point resulting in blots. I have fixed this (or at least the cases I found).
-
FontForge would always give ASCII characters their standard names in a ttf
post table. This was wrong if the character did not have its standard name.
-
FontForge could go into an infinite loop on some simplifies.
-
2003年4月1日 (April Fish!)
-
Fixed a crash in the Join command
-
Fixed a crash when loading some truetype fonts (never bothered to figure
which ones exactly)
-
Fixed a similar crash when loading old sfd files (note some old fonts won't
guess the script for ligatures, etc. properly)
-
Added a new preference item: Stop At Join
-
Changed the way control points are set when changing point type.
-
The fill of the outline view sometimes lagged the change.
-
Added another tag to CharInfo scripting command: GlyphIndex. It returns the
glyph number in the ttf font.
-
Werner suggests that instead of naming things "nounicode-%x" where %x is
the encoding, use "nounicode-%d-%d-%x" where the two new arguments are the
platform/specific pair used in the cmap we picked.
-
2003年3月31日
-
FontForge was not reading pfb fonts properly if they had more than one binary
section header.
-
When FontForge removed a character it did not remove all the kernpairs that
refered to that character.
-
Fixed more leaks with valgrind.
-
Added more synonyms for glyph names from Adobe Glyph List (I still rely on
Glyph names for New Fonts as my basic set of names)
-
FontForge had problems if the use selected 0 levels of undoes when the UI
was active.
-
Selecting the freehand tool in a quadratic font caused a crash. (The freehand
tool doesn't work in quadratic fonts, but it shouldn't crash)
-
Changed the way scripts are specified. I used to assign a script to every
character. I realize that doesn't work. The digits are used in many scripts
and the fraction ligatures based on them need to be seen in all those scripts,
not just the one that the digit was assigned to. So...
-
Glyphs no longer have a script assigned to them
-
Substitutions, Ligatures, Anchor Classes and other Advanced Typographic features
now have a list of scripts (and languages) for which they are active.
-
There is now an absurdly complex stream
of dialogs which may be used to set this list.
-
Added a new preference item to allow the user to specify a local help directory
-
Added a new scripting command SelectIf which allows you to determine whether
a character is in a font (Select signals an error if the character isn't
there, SelectIf returns failure).
-
Added a new scripting command to change a font's order (from quadratic to
cubic)
-
ScaleToEm scripting command will now accept a single argument, the em-size.
-
Added a new scripting command to allow you to apply an otf substitution to
the font
-
Added a new scripting command to give control over which ligatures are output
in an afm file
-
(it used to be that all ligatures were output in the afm file, no only 'liga'
and 'rlig' that appear in a default language are output)
-
AFM files only support 2 character ligatures. So, when possible, generate
a sort of closure on the ligatures. So if we are given the two ligs "ffi->f
f i" and "ff->f f" then add the ligature "ffi->ff i". This means that
the sequence f+f->ff+i->ffi will eventually reach the ligature we want.
-
Changed so that an untitled anchor class is now called "Anchor-*" rather
than "Untitled-*".
-
Rewrote Merge & Simplify commands. In my tests they now produce better
results.
-
Type2 font generation did not make use of hv/vh curveto commands in some
cases
-
When figuring out whether to synchronize the width/lbearing of a base character
with the composites containing it, I only checked if the base character was
alphabetic. But that doesn't work for hebrew where unicode says the marks
are alphabetic. So add an additional check that it can't be a combining
character.
-
When pasting a composite character from one font to another, the saved width
is not useful. Added a check that finds the correct width of the appropriate
base character.
-
When pasting a composite character from a font with one em-size to another
with a different em-size try to scale the amount references are translated
by an appropriate amount.
-
CharInfo scripting command has been extended to allow users to test the presence
of substitutions
-
Some fonts (bsmi00lp.ttf for one) have bad cmap tables which map several
glyphs to the same unicode code point. Put in a check for this and only map
one glyph to that code point now.
-
2003年3月13日
-
Add a preference item to control the number of undoes saved per character
-
Turn off saving undoes when in a script started from the command line
-
Added a preference item to control the undo depth from the UI.
-
Try to do better about scaling my chunk allocator to machines with 8 byte
pointers
-
Was doing 32 bit arithmetic when reading GSUB simple substitution lookups
when I should have done 16 bit.
-
Tracked down a lot of memory leaks with valgrind (and some uninitialized
variables too)
-
Added access to a font's version from scripting
-
Added PostNotice scripting command
-
When reading a ttf/otf font with a GSUB table fontforge will try to guess
reasonable names for unnamed glyphs by looking them up in the GSUB table.
Thus an unnamed vertical variant for "A" might be named "A.vrt2".
-
FontForge would crash when outputting ttf files with no 'cvt' table (bug
introduced around 27-Feb)
-
the configure script did not respect the argument --with-freetype-src as
it should have.
-
2003年3月10日
-
TrueType 命令デバッガを追加 (実際には FreeType の TrueType バイトコードインタプリタへのインターフェイスです)。
| このコマンドを利用するには、FreeFype をバイトコードインタプリタを有効にしてコンパイルしておく必要があります。これは、Apple に与えられたいくつかの特許に抵触するため、デフォルトではオフになっています。もしあなたが Apple からライセンスを得ているか、Apple が当該特許を取得していない国に在住しているならば、ライブラリをビルドする前に …/include/freetype/config/ftoption.h 内の適切なマクロを設定することにより、バイトコード処理を有効化することができます (FreeType 配布物のトップディレクトリにある README.UNX ファイルを参照してください)。
FontForge を構築するときには FreeType ソース配布物が読めるように展開されている必要があります (依存するソースファイルがいくつかその中に含まれています)。 |
-
Added an Edit->Copy Grid Fit command (to put the grid fit splines into
the clipboard)
-
Added a warning if the freetype library doesn't have a byte code interpreter
so that the user knows his/her splines have been autohinted (rather than
had the bytecode instructions run).
-
Improved Edit->Merge in some cases that don't fit its constraints
-
KANOU found some more underscores in character names
-
And provided a new japanese ui
-
Round to Int had problems on quadratic splines
-
Added support for runtime loading of dynamic libraries on the mac.
-
2003年3月03日
-
Memory got screwed up when converting TTF splines to PS ones
-
KANOU suggested some changes to the quadratic spline UI
-
I had the wrong makefile at top level so builds didn't
-
syntax error on systems without freetype
-
2003年3月02日
-
Changed the Show Instructions command to be an Edit Instructions
-
Bug saving 'prep' table
-
Bug changing 'cvt ' table
-
Added ability to look at gridfit splines in charview.
-
2003年2月28日
-
New dialog in outline view to examine ttf instructions
-
If an sfd file was created from a script then when it was next opened from
the UI it would appear in a tiny window.
-
The preference item refering to the []Hint check box in the generate dlg
has been renamed.
-
A checksum-like thing has been added to ui files so that in the future the
application will refuse to use .ui files which do not match its expectations.
-
2003年2月27日
-
Didn't get the SetLBearing change right yesterday.
-
Changing to quadratic splines with Font Info could generate an invalid spline.
-
We now preserve truetype instructions when reading in a truetype file (the
fpgm and prep tables, the cvt table and any per character instructions)
-
These instructions will be dumped out when generating truetype fonts
-
Added a menu command AutoInstr to generate our own (bad) instructions for
a character.
-
Any significant change (ie. anything that reorders the points, or adds or
removes points) will clear the instructions for that character.
-
Changing to cubic splines (fontwide) will clear the instructions (and the
fpgm and prep tables).
-
2003年2月26日
-
configure scripts got confused in the freetype libraries were findable but
the include files were not. Changed the scripts so that freetype is marked
not present if the include files are missing.
-
Table ordering was not read in properly from an sfd file
-
Typos in SetCharName & SetUnicodeValue prevented second argument from
working
-
Added a second argument to SetLBearing and friends to allow relative bearing
settings (ie. to increment the bearing by some amount)
-
2003年2月25日
-
Bad bug in GSUB generation introduced yesterday
-
Font level round 2 int command now rounds hints too.
-
Adobe lies when they say that a hint can't stretch from one bluezone to another,
so be a bit more cautious in removing this case.
-
Be a little better about getting the script from the GSUB/GPOS table.
-
FontForge had problems generating mac cursive connection setting.
-
FontForge had problems defaulting ligatures in cid keyed fonts (even if there
were no ligature characters to be defaulted, the attempt would fail)
-
I introduced memory problems yesterday. Fixed.
-
Font level round 2 int will take hints into account when positioning points
in order to maintain stem widths.
-
When running a script from the command line FontForge failed to initialize
the adobe standard encoding.
-
2003年2月24日
-
Claudio Beccari has provided an Italian UI.
-
(added Italian style translations to fontinfo)
-
User now has the ability to control the conversion from mac feature/settings
to otf features.
-
FontForge now remembers the order features are to be applied in GSUB/GPOS/morx
tables (and dumps features out in that order when it next saves them).
-
FontForge allows you to reorder the GSUB/morx tables should you wish to do
so. I am sufficiently ignorant that I don't believe it is necessary to reorder
the GPOS table, so there is currently no UI for this. If I am wrong let me
know and I will add that too.
-
The 'kern' table was not being generated when it should have been. This error
was introduced sometime in the last month due to the AAT changes.
-
Scripts generating otf fonts would crash if the font had non-integral coordinates
because of a bug in my PostNotice routine when running without X.
-
2003年2月18日
-
Hmm. It looks as though apple uses the "ascending glyph" flag on the features
of the 'mort'/'morx' tables to mean left to right text
-
Fixed a crash on reading a GSUB table with a glyph out of range.
-
Added support for a cursive connection (contextual glyph substitution subtable
of) morx.
-
Added an index to this manual and put a link
to it in FontForge's Help menu. Index is by no means complete yet.
-
2003年2月12日
-
Support direct editing of quadratic (truetype) splines
-
2003年2月11日
-
Change made on 8 Feb 2003 broke the code that read type1 flex hints
-
Hide files beginning with "." (except for "..") in file chooser dlgs.
-
Add protections in the afm file output to handle very long copyright notices.
-
2003年2月08日
-
Support for Apple's 'opbd' (Optical Bounds) table
-
Support for reading some features in non-contextual glyph and ligature sub-tables
of the 'mort' or 'morx' tables.
-
Support for writing those features in non-contextual glyph and ligature
sub-tables of 'morx'.
-
added char info to the fontview popup.
-
the scripting command Generate (and GenerateFamily) would generate truetype
.dfont files when asked to generate otf dfont files.
-
Add ClearHints scripting command
-
Add access to preference items from scripting (via: $<prefname>,
GetPref("<prefname>"),
SetPref("<prefname>",<value>)
-
2003年2月01日
-
Add some support for Apple Advanced Typography tables ('prop', 'lcar')
-
Popup menus in textfields failed to refresh the text field
-
KANOU provides a patch for sfd files with long Alternate Subs
-
FontView didn't deselect properly after doing a drag and drop.
-
Should now deal with the case where (under cygwin) the user sets BROWSER
to 'netscape' with no path spec.
-
Ligature carets introduced a crash bug.
-
2003年1月30日
-
Should figure out the default windows browser under cygwin now.
-
Should handle the case where a user sets the BROWSER variable to something
with a DOS pathspec
-
Apply KANOU's patch to turn off more autohinting.
-
2003年1月29日
-
Fix a crash introduced yesterday.
-
scripting didn't work for $familyname fix from Alex Raftis
-
2003年1月28日
-
The title of the Anchor Pair dialog was wrong (said Kern Pairs)
-
Improved error messages for when a font file did not exist or was unreadable.
-
Failed to generate a GSUB table when the ligatures came from a r2l ttf file.
-
I was generating incorrect data for r2l GPOS kerning sub-tables.
-
Failed to display r2l anchored attachments properly in the metricsview, anchor
pair dlg, or when printing.
-
Typo when loading libuninameslist dynamic library, introduced on the 24th.
-
Now we generate a GDEF table too, containing (possibly) a glyph class def
and (possibly) a ligature caret list
-
Added code for editing horizontal ligature caret locations
-
2003年1月25日
-
More cygwin fixes for invoking browsers.
-
2003年1月24日
-
Added a preference item to control whether autohinting happens before a font
is generated.
-
When calling Internet Explorer or Netscape on cygwin we needed double backslashes
-
moved hidden menu items (those invoked by Shift) into submenus
-
2003年1月20日
-
Put in a number of errors and warnings related to a glyph not having a script.
-
Fixed a crash bug when generating a popup for a glyph with no unicode encoding
-
Support for scroll wheels.
-
I hope I've now fixed the problems related to the GSUB table and ttc files.
Now does a pass through the GSUB table to see what glyphs can be introduced
by it when it figures out what glyphs to read from the glyph table (ttc files
have more than one font sharing the table, don't want to read all glyphs).
-
Added support for extension subtables of GPOS/GSUB.
-
Making a selection in the textfield of the Display dlg was broken when the
selection was scrolled.
-
Valek wants a Paste Into command.
-
Uninitialized variable in GSUB output caused erratic ligature behavior
-
I'm told that even though it makes logical sense for hebrew to have a 'fina'
tag, it is not customary and I have been asked to remove it from Default
ATT. Which I have done.
-
FontForge now protects itself better against erroneous GSUB/GPOS tables.
-
Valek points out there were display problems with the File->Display (and
File->Print) menu options in Russian.
-
2003年1月16日
-
Recent char info changes broke copy & paste within text fields of the
char info dlg.
-
Problems reading GSUB table of a ttc files (problems remain, but we should
no longer crash).
-
Reorganized libraries. Now FontForge has an additional dependency:
libuninameslist. Please install
this.
-
With libuninameslist FontForge can display the Unicode annotation information.
-
2003年1月14日
-
Fixed a couple of bugs loading pcf files with complex encodings
-
Bug in pasting metadata when there was no glyph comment.
-
Made SetCharColor scripting command set the color on any selected glyphs
-
Cleaned up selection behavior in fontview. Drag & drop made it difficult
-
Oops. Was scaling round rect radius incorrectly in xfig conversion
-
Oh yes, hebrew has final letters too. And greek. Add them in to the default
for 'fina'.
-
Fixed many problems with mac font generation
-
Open VMS update from Jauk Jansen
-
2003年1月12日
-
Support for xkb extension
-
New Russian UI from Valek
-
New Japanese UI from KANOU
-
Saving a compacted font did not preserve the old encoding
-
Added a preference item to control Edit->Join
-
made Edit->Copy From->Copy Name (now Metadata) be a preference item
too.
-
2003年1月9日
-
Support for round rects in xfig files
-
Added the glyph name to the title of the char info dlg
-
Char info failed to deal with all the flags properly
-
Fixed crash when creating GPOS sub-table 1 (simple positioning)
-
GPOS/GSUB output now handles case where a feature has several different sets
of flags.
-
2003年1月8日
-
Update copyright notices
-
Printing now handles anchored marks. (Display does not, just as display doesn't
handle kerning-- because X doesn't).
-
Support for cursive positioning.
-
I've registered with Adobe, and they have assigned FontForge an XUID base
number of 1021. Now when new users start fontforge for the first time they
will be assigned an XUID base sequence of 1021 xxx nnn where xxx and nnn
are two random numbers generated by fontforge. New fonts will get a fourth
number for their full XUID.
-
Kanou points out that glyph names should not contain underscores so redo
the .cidmap files to change to dashes. Also change "japan1_%d" to "cid-%d"
to make life easier for me.
-
KANOU points out there were places where fontforge did not check
psunicodenames_cnt. Once outside of BMP this causes a crash.
-
New Japanese UI from KANOU.
-
Support for many more GPOS/GSUB sub-tables.
-
Keep track of the order in which characters are selected in the fontview
and recreate that order when user asks to create a metricsview based on the
fontview's selection
-
Make it possible to drag&drop characters from fontview into metricsview
(again keeping track of selection order)
-
Make it possible to drag&drop characters from fontview into charview
to create references
-
Make it possible to drag&drop characters from fontview into charinfo
to create ligatures, etc.
-
Command to set the default values for sub GSUB/GPOS features that are easy
for FontForge to figure out.
-
Ability to zoom metrics view.
-
Metrics view displays anchor points and does the needed work to position
the characters. It is also possible to move anchor points around in the metrics
view.
-
Metrics view now has a pop-up menu that allows you to see alternate metrics
-
Metrics view now has a submenu (off of View) which allows you to change the
current glyph to one of its alternates.
-
Fixed uninitialized variable what would sometimes cause a crash when storing
bitmaps in a TTF/OTF file.
-
Fixed crash bug in 29-Dec when generating a truetype font without a GPOS
table.
-
Many changes to charinfo dlg. Made non-modal. Can Copy/Paste
Position/Substitution data.
-
Do a minimal amount of work toward supporting the alpha channel of a png
file.
-
2002年12月29日
-
FontForge now supports anchor points
for mark to base (ligature and mark) positioning.
-
FontForge was mistakenly treating NumLock on PC keyboards as if it were the
command key on Mac keyboards.
-
The font info dlg now remembers what tab was last pressed.
-
The char info dlg has been restructured. It includes a script field, and
associates a tag with the ligature (if any).
-
I have decided to generate a 'GPOS' table rather than a 'kern' table in truetype
output as well as in opentype output (unless applemode is set).
-
I have changed the default names of items in adobe's private use area to
match their new conventions. ie. names used to look like "Asmall" and now
look like "a.sc".
-
I have rewritten the way GPOS and GSUB tables
are output. I hope this will not have much effect on users, but it does mean
that a few more sub-tables are now supported.
-
2002年12月23日
-
2002年12月15日
-
Add support for Big5HKSCS
-
Redo CJK encodings
-
Update cidmap files.
-
2002年12月14日
-
Add support for reading windows .FON and .FNT files.
-
Add support for writing windows .FNT files. Sadly .FNT files aren't particularly
useful. They need to be converted to .FON files with the resource editor
somehow.
-
Bug when reading postscript files that included complicated combinations
of translate scale and concat commands.
-
FontForge was a bit too cavalier about guessing how big serifs were. Caused
problems when autokerning a fraktur font. (FontForge thought it had huge
serifs when it had none).
-
Direction (Clockwise, counterclockwise, correct) menu items are now greyed
out if the selected path is open.
-
New OpenVms patches from Jacob Jansen.
-
Update unicode database to 3.2
-
2002年12月13日
-
FontForge will now open a ttf/otf font that contains only bitmap strikes
-
FontForge will now read NFNT resources (old mac bitmaps)
-
FontForge will import NFNT resources
-
Fixed a number of problems with loading and saving bdf files
-
Did not understand that the "ENCODING" keyword could take two values if the
first were -1
-
Added unencoded glyphs at the wrong encoding (I know that sounds like an
oxymoron. I assign them an encoding, and I did it badly).
-
If a font name were not one of the X Logical Font Names then fontforge might
fail to give the font a familyname or a fontname. This caused more problems
when generating a new bdf file.
-
2002年12月11日
-
Revert Glyph is now undoable
-
Fixed a crash when pressing return in the font display of a bitmap font.
-
Display the name of references near the top of the reference in the outline
char view.
-
Took the width display off the info line and did it as hints are displayed.
-
Menus now respond to Home and End key events.
-
I have changed the calling conventions for the ExpandStroke scripting command
to reflect the height ratio value that is now needed.
-
Holding down the Alt (Meta) key when using the freehand tool will now close
the path.
-
The Generate Fonts dlg will now display an appropriate bitmap fontname if
"No Outline Font" is selected.
-
I think I've got the wacom stuff working now. FreeHand tool now takes options.
-
2002年12月08日
-
Oops. Can't use Alt-Shift for menus (it's treated as a mnemonic) use
Alt-Ctl-Shift instead.
-
Reorganized the prefs dlg.
-
Made FontInfo non-modal.
-
Added a default icon for all fontforge's windows & dlgs.
-
2002年12月06日
-
Fixed a problem where FontForge still picked bad fonts sometimes.
-
Typo in format spec for character windows
-
At Werner's suggestion:
-
The Transform dlg now preserves hints in the undo
-
Added an indication of which layer was active
-
Added an indication on the title bar that a character was changed
-
Added a Revert Glyph command
-
The location of the advance width pops up on the info line when the cursor
moves over the advance width
-
changed the Set Width command to get the right default value.
-
There were some layout problems in the char info dlg.
-
Redid the configuration for mac os/x. I've just upgraded to the new developers'
tools and that fixed a lot of problems.
-
2002年12月05日
-
2002年12月2日
-
If the fontview were only one line high FontForge would not scroll to the
selected character properly.
-
Adobe has released a new version of their glyph naming conventions. In particular
they provide names for code points outside of the bmp. Danilo Sagan points
out that they also allow for alternate glyph names. (specified in the
FDK).
-
Remove the PFAEDIT_PI1 environment variable.
-
Cut and Paste bug fixed when clearing metadata.
-
2002年11月25日
-
Harald Harders provides a patch to allow SetItalicAngle to deal with real
numbers.
-
Vadim Belman provides a patch to keep Element->MetaFont from crashing
when applied to spaces.
-
Bringing up the preference dlg would segfault if there were arguments specified
for autotrace.
-
Put in a hack so that the environment variable PFAEDIT_PI1 controls whether
U+03D6 is named "pi1" (as Unicode suggests it ought to be) or "omega1" (as
Adobe has said it should be).
-
Follow riggle's suggestion and use the shell command "open" (on a Mac) to
bring up a browser window.
-
2002年11月24日
-
Harald Harders points out that UniqueID needs to be in both the font and
the Private dictionaries in a PostScript font.
-
And provides access to UniqueID from the scripting language.
-
More fixes for TeX sfd files.
-
2002年11月20日
-
Changed the Simplify More command to bring up a dlg giving the user control
over what errors Simplify More is allowed to induce.
-
Bug in import image with non-latin1 fontnames
-
New Russian ui translation
-
Merge fonts didn't work well with CID keyed fonts
-
Fixed yet another problem with notdef generation.
-
Fixed yet crash in sfddiff.
-
Using Font Info to convert to SJIS didn't work.
-
Merge fonts had problems when both fonts were CID keyed.
-
Generate a unicode encoding subtable even when generating a CJK encoding
subtable.
-
Added a preference item to allow user to specify whether s/he would rather
read in the unicode or the cjk encoding subtable.
-
2002年11月13日
-
Two new tools in the outline character view.
-
A hand tool -- for scrolling around
-
A freehand tool -- for having fontforge try to fit splines to a hand drawn
curve
-
MergeFonts was broken from scripts.
-
New Russian UI from Valek.
-
Another remove overlap fix from KANOU.
-
Added code to invoke Internet Explorer (or an Mac App) on the Mac (so pressing
F1 should actually load some help on the mac now).
-
Fixed random crash in font generation dialog
-
PS->TTF conversion tried to force splines in cases where it could not.
-
2002年11月05日
-
Improved behavior of Remove Overlap. Fix inspired by Kanou.
-
Added a "Find Intersections" command, a variant of remove overlap that stops
after it finds the intersections. I think this half of the job has no major
bugs.
-
If a single point is in the clipboard, then FontForge will also export the
clipboard as STRING, giving the coordinates of the point. This is to make
it easier to refer to the point.
-
2002年11月04日
-
KDE has the lovely habit of losing some resize events when in continuous
resize mode. So I've tweaked the fontview resize code so that it is less
dependent on individual events.
-
Added a mode where the user can choose between whether the font shown in
the fontview should be scaled so that the em fits in the space provided (this
is the old behavior) or so that the bounding box does.
-
Rewrote the knife tool so that it cuts at the end rather than as it goes
along. I think this is easier to use.
-
Bug in the generation of format=2 truetype encoding tables (used for CJK
fonts).
-
2002年11月02日
-
Png reading failed on greyscale images with an alpha channel
-
Png now reads mono images as mono.
-
make install (via libtool) didn't work if "." weren't in the PATH.
-
2002年10月30日
-
GenerateFamily() scripting command had a number of problems.
-
2002年10月26日
-
The "Apple" checkbox was sometimes (incorrectly) invisible in the Generate
Font/Family dialogs
-
Minor improvements to the "Insert Character" dialog (to match
umap)
-
Minor tweak to text fields
-
More configuration changes
-
2002年10月25日
-
Problems when reading an sfd with references to cleaned up characters.
-
Removed code from ttf generation that check for points of inflection (but
fixed a couple of bugs in it before doing that).
-
Change the way scripting GenerateFamily behaves. One person has already been
unable to figure out how to use it, and I agree that it didn't make much
sense the way I had it.
-
2002年10月24日
-
Change the default configuration process to use dynamic libaries
-
Added "configure.static" which will configure for static libaries (On Mac
OS/X the compiler gets internal compiler errors if asked to generate pic
code)
-
Enable reading a straight ttf file out of a .bin or .hqx wrapper (ie. doesn't
need to be in a resource fork)
-
The Kern Pairs dlg did not show Hebrew/Arabic right to left. Fixed
-
Added a popup menu to Kern Pairs which will allow you to reset a kern pair
-
Added a way to configure the font family used for info messages in the outline
and bitmap character views.
-
New man pages which use the macros supported by Sun. Thanks to R. P. Channing
Rodgers.
-
2002年10月22日
-
Initial version of Mac Family (FOND) generation
-
Fix old sfds so that their bad pngs will become bitmaps
-
optimize the fix to draw magnified.
-
2002年10月21日
-
Verbose addition to scripting broke loops
-
Various changes to make utf8/ucs2 selections work properly with other programs
-
Hebrew/Arabic drag and drop could cause crashes
-
The Increment right side bearing command (Metrics->Set RBearing) set the
width to the value rather than incrementing by that value.
-
Fixes for the local encoding being utf8
-
Imported bitmap pngs still were seen as indexed
-
Problems drawing magnified images when the scale factor was 100%
-
2002年10月20日
-
Updated French and Japanese UI translations
-
Use LC_CTYPE (rather than LC_MESSAGES) to determine the current local encoding
-
If the width line were selected then FontForge would sometimes snap cursor
movements to an arbitrary x-value (often the axis)
-
KANOU provided a patch which fixes some remove overlap problems.
-
I had broken the generation of pure bitmap sfnts from scripts (7-Sept)
-
Added a verbose mode to scripts (prints script to stdout as it is executed).
-
2002年10月18日
-
Tweaked metrics view so that null kerning now displays as an empty string
rather than "0"
-
If a font contained a kerning pair to a character that was omitted when saving
the sfd file, then loading that font would leave it in a bad state and eventually
cause a crash. Fixed on both ends (don't generate bad sfds any more, and
can deal with them properly when found)
-
Improved the "Insert Character" dialog a bit.
-
2002年10月17日
-
More work on Ik format files
-
Redid UI for Auto Width/Kern to make it easier for cyrillic/greek users to
kern their alphabets.
-
Changed so that CJK encodings will attempt to map directly to a CJK font
(rather than going through unicode) when displaying in the fontview.
-
Added a command to join paths
-
KANOU points out that support for mimetype cut/paste (11-Sept) broke cut/paste
in scripting.
-
KANOU supplied a patch for the knife tool.
-
KANOU points out that IsVisible didn't work properly if passed a NULL point
(it should never be passed a NULL pointer, but if it is no reason not to
work correctly).
-
KANOU points out that the UniqueID for ttf files used a bad date.
-
Had the wrong MS language ID for hungarian
-
Some of Luc Devroye's fonts contain a "div" in the FontMatrix. ATM doesn't
support this, but it is easy enough to accept. Still don't support a full
expression there, just a div.
-
If we read in a gsf font and then generated postscript from that, we weren't
able to read in the result.
-
Added an empty glyph-encoding sub-table to mac FONDs
-
Save multiple postscript did not save the first sub-font
-
The second count in BeginChars could be wrong in an sfd file (FontForge doesn't
care, but I suppose some program might).
-
Add support for local encoding being UTF-8. Prefs now has an option to try
and figure out the encoding from the locale
-
Display filenames in the local encoding.
-
There was an erroneous test in simplify which caused FontForge to complain
about an internal error when in truth all was well.
-
There was a bad test in dumpbdf
-
Export will now allow the user to generate png files (if s/he's got the png
libraries)
-
It is possible to invoke Export from a script
-
2002年9月11日
-
Added a menu in textfields (right mouse button)
-
Added support for STRING_UTF8 selections
-
Added support for "image/png", "image/bmp", "image/eps",
"text/plain;charset=ISO-10646-UCS-2", "text/plain;charset=UTF-8"
-
(two image format)
-
(one format for reading spline data)
-
(two more ways of expressing unicode text data)
-
2002年9月10日
-
Added support for UTF8 in display/print dlg imports.
-
2002年9月9日
-
Added support for loading Ikarus .IK font files
-
Fixed a divide by zero problem when generating ttfs
-
If you type into the Kern Pairs dlg, it will now scroll to the pairs associated
with the character you typed.
-
2002年9月8日
-
Display crashed on systems without freetype
-
my xfig reader didn't handle arcs
-
Merge fonts and Interpolate fonts didn't merge/interpolate kerning pairs
-
2002年9月7日
-
The ruler tool will give the length of a spline if applied between the spline's
endpoints
-
Made FontForge a little smarter about when to change the xuid field.
-
Added a dlg to display fonts using freetype.
-
Added support for the obsolete _XFREE86_GLYPH_RANGES property and then turned
it off by default.
-
Improvements to type2 output.
-
Changed greek accents to use 0x384 rather than 0x30d when substituting for
0x301
-
I've found another case where Apple and MS/Adobe disagree on the format of
ttf/otf files. So there's now a check box in the Generate dlg which allows
you to select between the two defns. I've removed the two different kinds
of bitmaps for ttf files, these are now controlled by this new checkbox too.
-
FontForge would sometimes in otf files generate curves which should have
been done as lines.
-
macbinary resource output broke when I fixed straight resource output the
other day.
-
When a grid line was a line but expressed with control points, then fontforge
would get very confused about how to snap to it.
-
Fixed a bug in the generation of ttf/otf fonts with big5/sjis/wansung encodings.
-
The ligature dlg had a bad habit of crashing.
-
On the Mac, Obliqued fonts are stored in a weird postscript format. Try to
support them
-
2002年9月2日
-
When in no-x mode, fontforge did not notice any arguments (except -script).
It will now notice -version, -usage and -help.
-
The PS Names check box would be visible when generating otf fonts. It should
not have been.
-
If a font contained multiple encodings for the same character, then generating
an otf font from it would crash fontforge.
-
There is now a proper french translation of the ui (Merci Pierre Hanser!)
-
Under cygwin, FontForge would fail to find internet explorer/netscape (because
not in user's path) and if it did find them would try to invoke them with
a cygwin style name (ie. /usr/local/share/doc/fontforge/overview.html rather
than c:\cygwin\usr/local/share/doc/fontforge/overview.html )
-
Added a preference item to allow you to control whether a mapping file from
glyph ids to character names is produced along with ttf and otf fonts.
-
2002年9月1日
-
Added an #ifdef to an include file to make it work when built without X11
-
2002年8月31日
-
Making a font be a cid-keyed font might screw up all other fontviews and
lead to crashes.
-
type1 cid keyed fonts got the wrong fontmatrix if the em-size was something
other than 1000. Doesn't seem to make a difference though, we still get bad
output for emsize!=1000
-
got maxp.numGlyphs wrong for otf cid-keyed fonts which lacked a .notdef character
-
Added a check to make sure fontnames are less than 63 characters. Needed
for ATM.
-
format 2 Coverage tables (used by GPOS and GSUB tables (kerning & ligatures
for otf)) were being generated incorrectly. This meant that windows would
refuse to read my otf files which had complex kerning. (presumably complex
ligs, but I had no test cases). The mac printer driver has also had problems
with my otf files. This may be why.
-
Added a popup to the kern pair dlg to tell user how many kern pairs there
are, and how many characters start kern pairs.
-
2002年8月29日
-
Merge and Elide were backwards
-
And merge (simplify) had problems when a desired spline at the same slope
at the start and end (or something like that).
-
Added a field to Review Hints showing the total number of hints, flag for
h/vstem3, ability to move points associated with hint when moving hint. also
added a hot key for it.
-
Added a Find Problem to detect things which are almost but not quite h/vstem3
-
AutoHint wasn't finding all the ghost hints it should have.
-
Put in (what I hope is) a better way of detecting extraneous hints (the hypen
case. At first sight the hstem and vstem appear equally valid) remove hints
which are wider than they are long.
-
More fixes from KANOU for cid fonts
-
The scale to em checkbox only (sort of) worked if the emsize increased. Fix
from KANOU
-
Autohint could go into an infinite loop on characters containing a 0-length
spline.
-
Problem with cff name table fix of 27-Aug
-
bdf fonts were loaded into background by default
-
Scripting problem loading bitmap fonts into background.
-
2002年8月27日
-
Further attempts to fix the fact that FontForge in some ways does not believe
that monospaced ttf files are monospaced.
-
Problems with endif
-
Redid the Find Problems dialog by adding tabs so that related problems are
grouped together.
-
Added a problem which will report advance widths which do not match some
standard value.
-
CID keyed generation was broken again by the (failed) attempt to make things
work with FontLab (18-Aug)
-
cff name table could be off by 1 if there were a real notdef character
-
Added ability to display blue zones in outline view.
-
2002年8月21日
-
Broke cid-keyed otf generation on 27 July when I enabled the [Stop] button.
Fix by KANOU.
-
Bringing up progress indicator early (20 August) broke scripting without
X11.
-
Added ability to load a font protected by fstype=2 to a scripting (extra
argument to open).
-
Enhanced print abilities.
-
Added ability to Print to scripting.
-
Attempt to fix the fact that windows doesn't recognize my monospaced ttf
fonts as monospace.
-
FontForge could be confused by strange values of Ascent in the hhea table
-
Added a Round to Int option to the transform dialogs
-
Added ability to change the em-size (and rescale the font) to fontinfo
-
2002年8月20日
-
Under KDE my tools palettes are made too wide and without borders. That's
ok until they get reparented (docked). Added code in the docking routines
to fix these problems.
-
May have fixed a race condition problem due to reparented windows under freebsd.
-
TeX sfd files are a little more complicated than I had originally thought,
the parser is now more general.
-
FontForge sometimes thought some X fonts had iso8859-1 encoding when they
did not.
-
cleaned up some problems with encodings
-
Added support for TeX (actually MetaFont) gf files
-
RLE background images sometimes showed up inverted (with background color
as foreground & vice versa)
-
The Fit in window command should now take docked palettes into consideration.
-
Added a Japanese translation of the UI, courtesy of KANOU Hiroki.
-
Added the ability to run
mf
on a .mf font, generate a gf file,
autotrace the gf file, and leave you with a font based on an mf file.
-
Menus now do pointer grabs.
-
Fixed a bug in generating PostScript resource file fonts on Mac OS/X
-
2002年8月18日
-
Added a dlg to show all kern pairs (and another to show all ligatures)
-
Added a "Find Problems" item to check for missing bitmaps.
-
Put in some warnings to the ttf parser for bad cmap and glyf tables
-
FontForge was still having trouble about loading space bitmaps (that had
been generated with freetype).
-
FontForge did not set the flag indicating manual hinting after changes by
Review Hints or Create Hint. Should be set now.
-
Various small tweaks to the pfa/pfb output because FontLab doesn't like what
we currently do. Probably none will make much difference.
-
The Print command would attempt to print characters outside the encoding
of type1 fonts. This did not work well.
-
The autowidth command got very confused when given a sans-serif script to
autowidth when the Latin characters in the font were serifed.
-
The Print sample text is now ordered so that the language specified in the
LANG environment variable comes first in the list.
-
Added $version
-
FontForge will now read scripts from stdin if you follow the "-script" argument
with "-".
-
Valek points out the using CharInfo to change a character's color did not
change it until the fontview was refreshed
-
Expand Stroke had problems when intersections bent the wrong way.
-
2002年8月9日
-
I've decided to encourage use of the mailing
lists for reporting bugs.
-
Bug in the dlg asking for the resolution of a bdf font. The second (and
subsequent) time(s) it came up it would have a good chance of never going
away again, and potentially crashing FontForge into the bargain. (number
of other bugs here too)
-
If the postscript "FontName" contained a hyphen then any generated BDF fonts
would have invalid X fontnames (they hyphen would be included which would
throw the name parsing off by one hyphen).
-
Greg Ford points out that generating a bdf font and then loading it back
in will often change the fontname. This is because the fontname is not actually
stored in bdf files. I've added a FONT_NAME property to the bdf fonts I generate.
-
FontForge が SFD ファイルに格納された各ビットマップの最初のビットマップ文字を忘れてしまうことがたまにありました。お手持ちの全ての SFD ファイルを確認して、スペースや感嘆符などのビットマップ文字が欠けていないかどうかご確認ください。おそらく 6 月 11 日にこのバグが持ち込まれたと思います。
-
2002年8月8日
-
After yesterday's fix textfields ignored backspaces
-
More work on the metrics lines. There's now a dlg to control which ones get
drawn.
-
FontInfo would sometimes crash after adding ttf names.
-
Added minimal ability to dock palettes into their respective views.
-
Added a way of looking at the fontview where there are now holes in the font
(ie. a compacted view where every cell contains a glyph). This is just another
encoding, but people have been asking for it and it is slightly easier to
get to than normal reencoding of a font. Note: It has no defined relationship
to the glyph array in a ttf file.
-
2002年8月7日
-
The 21-July autowidth/kern change broke autowidth/kern scripting.
-
And the serif detection failed if the character I did not reach the baseline.
-
FontForge read RGB png files incorrectly.
-
FontForge used to bring up most dialogs underneath the cursor. Now it only
does that if the focus is set to FocusFollowsMouse, and otherwise centers
dlgs.
-
FontForge now will draw metrics lines in the fontview if you want it to.
-
FontForge remembers what outline character views were open when a font was
saved (as an sfd file) and will automagically reopen them when you next load
that font.
-
Added
View->Find In Font View
command to the outline character
view. Will scroll the fontview to display the current character.
-
Textfields within FontForge ignored the numeric keypad
-
2002年8月4日
-
Yesterday's resize fix didn't quite work
-
Try to improve conversion of cubic to quadratic spline (actually, we make
the conversion worse, but it probably helps rasterizers not to have points
quite so close together).
-
Some more work on the TTF style name
-
2002年8月3日
-
Failed to read ttf fontnames properly for some dfonts (probably some ttc
files as well)
-
Didn't position references by point matching properly (when loading from
ttf)
-
removed some debugging code inadvertently left in after the rle fix.
-
Added support for X Input Methods (to do CJK character
input properly)
This only works if X_HAVE_UTF8_STRING is defined -- an XFree 4.0.2 extension
(ie. not on solaris)
-
Added a possible fix to a resizing problem for some window managers.
-
Added CIDFlattenByCMap function to scripting.
-
2002年7月30日
-
Fixed a couple of problems found by
valgrind
-
Applied a patch from KANOU Hiroki. PasteInto did not work.
-
Added run length encoding compression to sfd files (for background images).
Bitmap image sizes are much smaller now.
-
FontForge failed to recognize that a PNG black and white image was monochrome.
-
Now FontForge will immediately put up the progress indicator when loading
the first font (so the user has something to look at)
-
A little more work on generate multiple.
-
Removed a confusing message about autohinting a font for which no autohinting
was actually done (it was just checking to see if it needed to).
-
Oops. Windows won't accept a ttf file if there is no name table entry with
the same platform/specific entries as those in the cmap.
-
If a character contained a reference to a blank character that FontForge
decided wasn't worth outputting, then the truetype composite for it would
not work.
-
The standard format for the ttf "version" name is different from the equivalent
postscript name. Added code to interconvert between the two rather than expecting
them to be the same.
-
Added a gasp table for when there was no hinting.
-
2002年7月28日
-
Pressing the [Filter] button on a blank field will show the current filter
text (holding the mouse over the [Filter] button will cause a popup to appear
with the same info).
-
If there were know selection the pressing an arrow key would presume that
the selection was at encoding -1, which caused strange behavior. Now we will
pretend that the selection is visible and halfway down the screen.
-
Oops. CMap files allow for multiple encodings for the same glyph. Now prepared
to put in refs.
-
Oops. Generate multiple had several problems (couldn't handle encodings above
0x80000000, was surprised by empty font numbers, etc.)
-
If a family name contained a space then only the first word in it would be
read out of an sfd file
-
2002年7月27日
-
Oops. I was calling TeX sfd files Sub Font Directories and their proper name
was Sub Font Definition.
-
Enabled the [Stop] button in the progress dlg when saving a font.
-
FontForge would go into an infinite loop when reading one of its sfd files
when it was expecting a TeX sfd file. Fixed, and put in guards so that won't
happen anyway.
-
Added two new menu commands "Flatten to CMap" and "Convert By CMap". These
will use one of Adobe's CMap files to guide the Flattening/Converting process
(rather than one of my cidmap files)
-
Added support for some really large encodings if they have almost equally
large gaps in them (use adobe's "coderange" data to manage a sparce array).
-
If we could not find any style modifiers in a fontname, then we used to claim
that the style was "Regular". I think it is better if we claim that it is
/Width (ie. whatever is in the FontInfo /Width entry) and if that isn't set
then return "Regular")
-
2002年7月26日
-
Added support for Werner's (TeX's) Sub Font Definition files which provide
a way of splitting up a 2 byte encoding into lots of little pfb fonts with
256 characters in each.
-
Normally in a ttf font, FontForge generates a 'post' table with the names
of all the characters in it. I've just added a way to make it generate a
short 'post' table with no character names.
-
FontForge generates bad truetype hints. There is now a way to turn these
off in the Generate Font dlg.
-
2002年7月24日
-
Code for finding the style still not working as it should.
-
Oops, the postscript parser was over-zealous about generating warnings.
-
Oops, the code which interprets results from autotrace was over-zealous on
getting rid of contours in small images.
-
SetUnicodeValue did not behave as it should have.
-
Made acorn2sfd a little sturdier.
-
Bitmap copies didn't work from the font view (probably broke when I added
anti-aliased support)
-
2002年7月23日
-
Crash bug introduced yesterday by the duplicate name work.
-
Initial version of acorn2sfd -- a program
to convert Acorn RISC/OS font directories into sfd files.
-
If a font is loaded from a ttf file, then it will have both postscript and
ttf versions of certain names stored (family, copyright, version, etc.).
The postscript names are obviously displayed, but changing them would not
change the ttf versions. So generating a ttf font and then looking at it
would still show the old setting of the name. The two should be better
synchronized now.
-
2002年7月22日
-
Introduced a crash yesterday if a postscript font contained an name in an
encoding vector which was not defined in the font.
-
More work on duplicate names. I no longer append a ".<number>" to the
end of duplicate entries and when generating fonts I remove them and generate
an encoding with has multiple references to the base glyph. Which is what
I should have been doing.
-
Small improvements to the style name detector.
-
If the Width field was a null string, then reading it from an sfd file caused
us to thing the next keyword was the width.
-
Fixed a bug in the display of menus.
-
2002年7月21日
-
Various small bugs in build accented characters
-
On the mac the filenames for mac resource fonts are different from same fonts
elsewhere (elsewhere they have an additional ".bin"). Made either extension
work from a script file (so they can work cross platform).
-
Expand Stroke had problems with curved splines where the slope at one of
the end-points was 0/0. Since this will happen by default when joining a
corner point to a curved point this should have been a frequent occurrence.
-
Bug in generating 'post' table if glyph 0 existed but was not .notdef.
-
Postscript fonts with one glyph going to multiple encodings cause problems.
-
Now both PS and TTF load will have consistent names in the above case.
-
My presumption of how symbol encodings were stored under MicroSoft was wrong.
It is not a one byte encoding, it is a map into the private/corporate use
area of unicode. 0xf000-0xf0ff. Changed to deal with that.
-
Loading a font with mac roman encoding often generated a font of 65536 characters
(rather than 256+a few extras). Fixed.
-
New version of autowidth/kern. I don't think it kerns serifed fonts well,
might do ok for sans.
-
Ability to provide autokern with a list of potential kern pairs and have
it just check them.
-
Scripting support for kernpair files
-
AutoWidth/Kern now does a little better on serifed fonts
-
2002年7月15日
-
Correct Direction should now only set the changed bit when it actually changes
a character.
-
Correct Direction will now warn about flipped references, and offer you the
chance to unlink them (after which it will be able to correct their direction)
-
Added ability to scripting to check if a character has changed, and to get
a font's filename.
-
Cleaned up build accented chars a bit.
-
Another attempt to keep X from crashing on disappearing progress dlgs.
-
Maximizing the fontview could make it bigger than the screen so that the
scroll bar was unusable.
-
2002年7月14日

Valek points out that bitmaps generated by freetype were one pixel too high.
-
Changed the get info dlg for references so that the user could change the
transformation matrix.
-
Font Info->PS Private got the wrong value when guessing the vertical stem
snaps
-
FontForge did not find ghost hints for things at the numeric height.
-
FontForge got non-integer values for some hints where it should have found
integer values.
-
Bug when auto-hinting references fixed.
-
FontForge would find hints for things that don't need to be hinted (finding
a vertical stem for the top of "E" for instance. There is a vertical stem
there, but it is deemed irrelevant). It now finds fewer of these hints. I
hope it still finds all the legitimate ones.
-
2002年7月13日
-
I think I've finally worked out Apple's scaled offset
composite glyphs (and they do not behave
as Apple documents)
-
FontForge was not setting the maxCompositePoints and maxCompositeContours
fields of the maxp table of truetype fonts. This meant that in some cases
rasterizers would crash when trying to deal with characters containing many
components.
-
The translation tables between unicode and johab were wrong.
-
FontForge failed to generate ttf fonts with big5/sjis/wansung cmaps.
-
Changed so that reading sjis/wansung encoded ttf files would use a sjis/wansung
encoding in fontforge (rather than the 94x94 encoding that no one but me
seems to understand).
-
2002年7月9日
-
Bug in generating ttf fonts with embedded bitmaps.
-
Open Font dlg will now try again if it can't load a valid font.
-
Started working on a
minimal
testsuite, and what do you know? I found some bugs...
-
Scripting had problems when user preference was set to ask for bdf resolution.
-
Generate() scripting built in now takes an optional resolution argument
-
Problems generating the vertical metrics tables in cid keyed otf fonts
-
Problems working with cid-keyed fonts in scripts if fontforge could not find
the requisite cidmap file
-
Fixed various problems with parsing EPS files, and extended the vocabulary
a little.
-
If the ".notdef" character was whitespace (as it is for most postscript fonts)
then generating a ttf font would produce an entry for glyph 0 that both flint
and NT consider to be erroneous, while freetype and windows think it's fine.
Fixed so that Flint no longer complains.
-
the fontview could get confused about matching short names with periods in
them against the standard postscript unicode names, so it could think that
"b.0" matched "bracketleft". This caused some confusion in the display.
-
2002年6月27日
-
A couple more vms patches
-
2002年6月26日
-
Merged in Jouk Jansen changes for OpenVMS
-
2002年6月23日
-
Valek wanted to be able to add comments to characters and to flag characters
with some visible mark. The Char Info dlg
has been extended to do this. The scripting language has been extended to
allow scripts to set and test these too.
-
Added a "foreach selected character in the font" loop.
-
Added $selection variable to return the current selection as an array
-
Extended the Select() and SelectMore() commands to accept an array as an
argument (and set the selection to the array).
-
2002年6月22日
-
Yesterday's unicode sprintf change introduced another bug. Fixed
-
Valek points out that if you have a bitmap only font and you attempt
simultaneously to scale it and delete all the bitmaps, then FontForge would
crash. (Same thing would happen if you just removed all the bitmaps).
-
Valek provided some additional russian translations.
-
2002年6月21日
-
Ttf fonts seem to be unhappy if they contain a glyph with a single contour
and a single point on that contour. I don't know why. Output all such as
spaces.
-
Added ability to set the resolution of a bdf font.
-
Rearranged preferences.
-
Added scripting access to Force-Encoding
-
FontForge memory allocation optimizations didn't work if sizeof(int *)==8
-
Bug in unicode sprintf routine when sizeof(long)==8
-
In some cases when reading a ttf font with a (unicode) cmap which assigned
one glyph to two encodings, and if that glyph happened to be in the
AdobeStandardEncoding, then when converting to Type1 FontForge would create
a dictionary which recursively seac-ed (invoked) itself. This caused an infinite
loop in GhostView, and crashed some printers.
-
2002年6月11日
-
CID fix on 3 June was wrong, it broke all non-CID keyed postscript fonts
(it did work for CID fonts). Both should work now.
-
Added better support for bdf foundries and for bdf copyrights.
-
Added a preference item to specify the ttf VendorID (foundry). Used to truncate
the bdf foundry to 4 characters.
-
Small bug fix in print
-
Cleaned up bug in scripting ($bitmaps)
-
2002年6月7日
-
Fixed some more CID font problems
-
Tweaked behavior of FamilyName/FullName in GetFontInfo dlg.
-
2002年6月6日
-
FontForge now supports greymap strikes in truetype files
-
The bitmap editor has been extended to handle greymap (anti-aliased) fonts
-
There is no longer a separate mechanism for generating greymap files from
the Generate Font dlg, instead they may be added to the font database file
with the bitmap dlg.
-
Added support for vertical metrics in bdf files.
-
Fixed some problems in moving the vwidth line in outline character views
-
Added some default window positioning code.
-
2002年6月4日
-
Oops, more bug fixes for the new greymap format.
-
One more attempt to solve the X Server bug where destroying/unmapping a window
before its map notify event gets processed causes the X server to crash.
-
2002年6月3日
-
Stopped using my extension to bdf to make it support greymaps and started
using that supported by freetype (removed the BITSPERPIXEL keyword and added
an extra argument to the SIZE keyword).
-
More fixes for cid fonts
-
2002年5月18日
-
Font Info will prompt user about changing the UniqueID/XUID if the font name
is changed without changing them.
-
Fixed some Mac configuration problems.
-
2002年5月16日
-
FontForge would not compile when trying to used libjpeg as a static library
(as on Mac OS/X)
-
Use psili rather than koronis where appropriate
-
It was not possible to select the ellipse/star tool from the tools palette.
-
2002年5月14日
-
Made fontforge work without X (ie. the scripting engine can be linked without
requiring that X be present. Possibly useful for Mac OS/X, Cygwin)
-
When showing what a greek accented character will be built from, the character
info dlg will now show the non-unicode alternate whether or not the characters
needed exist in the font.
-
The Reference Info dlg will now include the unicode value of the referenced
character
-
The positioning of ypogegrammeni with respect to eta was broken (again)
-
Some more greek fixes.
-
2002年5月13日
-
Various fixes for greek accented characters
-
2002年5月7日
-
FontForge would crash when attempting to Flatten a CID keyed font (introduced
16-Apr with the multiple fontview support)
-
FontForge did not process panose information correctly (broken 21-Jan, comment
change)
-
FontForge did not create new ttf names properly when they were for a language
which had not been used before in the font.
-
2002年5月6日
-
Oops. Adobe describes two naming conventions for ligatures and I only supported
one of them. I should support the other one now.
-
Fixed a number of bugs caused by custom encodings.
-
If the selection in the font view contained either "dotlessi" or "dotlessj"
and the Element menu was pulled down then the dotless characters would be
created from their dotted variants (you didn't even have to select anything
from the menu) (broken 24-Feb-2002)
-
FontForge had trouble reading non-empty ttf glyphs with 0 contours.
-
FontForge failed to read images from an sfd file without a transparent colour
-
Allow parens in familyname in the fontinfo dlg.
-
When the width was selected, depressing a mouse button would snap the logical
pointer location to a random x coordinate (often 0).
-
When generating a ttf file from a subfont of a CID keyed font fontforge would
crash. This has been fixed.
-
When exiting with multiple font views looking at one (changed) font, there
would be no prompt to save the font.
-
Added a Find/Replace feature
-
2002年4月16日
-
BDF fonts did not mark the missing (.notdef, undefined, etc.) character properly.
-
otf fonts had the default and normative widths reversed on output
-
Added marginally better support for non-latin ligatures in GPOS/GSUB tables.
-
Added support for arabic forms in the GSUB table (ie. we now produce 'init',
'medi', 'fina', and 'isol' features)
-
Build composite should now note whether arabic ligatures are
<initial>, <final>, <medial> or <isolated>
-
It is now possible to have multiple font views looking at one font. I expect
this will be a rich source of bugs, especially for CID keyed fonts.
-
2002年4月9日
-
Under KDE we could get two textfields flashing cursors (thinking they had
focus) should be fixed.
-
Added Undo/Redo to metricsview
-
Added Undo/Redo to fontview
-
Added Element menu to metricsview
-
Added [Fix] button to (some of) Find Problems
-
2002年4月5日
-
Applied various patches from KANOU Hiroki
-
Changes to metricsview
-
Fixed some minor bugs
-
Double clicking on a character will open that character
-
Enabled Copy/(CopyRef/CopyWidth/)Paste but not Cut
-
FontForge had problems when there were exactly two X resources.
-
Made the Point Info dlg wider.
-
Improved printing text samples at large point sizes.
-
I was generating flex hints incorrectly.
-
Extended postscript interpreter slightly to recognize the eps files (called
"art") produced by fontographer
-
Additions to the scripting language
-
CenterInWidth
-
AutoWidth (from Andreas Påhlsson)
-
AutoKern
-
The Expand Stroke fix for 4-Mar-2001 was too extreme.
-
Added a field to Char Info that shows the components out of which this character
(accented, ligature, hangul syllable, etc.) may be built.
-
2002年4月3日
-
Various scrollbar enhancements
-
thumb now has a bigger minimum size
-
fontview/charview both respond to page up and page down requests
-
right mouse button may be used to position thumb
-
Installed James A. Crippen makefile patch so that distclean reports success
even if there are no files to clean.
-
FontForge had problems guessing default ligatures for characters outside
of BMP.
-
In the outline character view, double clicking with one of the point tools
(curve, corner, tangent, pen) will add a point and then bring up a
Point Info dialog
-
If you edit in a textfield (so that the mouse pointer vanishes) and then
tabbed into another text field the mouse pointer would never reappear.
-
Merge Fonts left memory in a bad state and would often cause a crash.
-
Merge Fonts used a string for a title which was ascii when unicode was expected.
This could cause strange characters to be displayed.
-
More fixes for build accented characters (for inverted breve and Oslash).
-
2002年3月14日
-
Nifty. The modifier keys auto-repeat under cygwin (if Control is down one
gets a series of Press/Release, Press/Release... while normal X just gives
one Press.) This meant we'd keep refreshing the tools palette, which meant
an annoying flicker and slowed things down.
-
Raise the palettes after a resize
-
FontForge didn't handle 8bit colormaps well. I've improved the behavior,
and added an x resource to give the user some control over behavior.
-
2002年3月10日
-
Oops. I broke CID-keyed postscript input (ie. none-otf) when I added the
6-Mar fix for type1utils
-
Applied another patch from KANOU Hiroki, on otf cid support
-
2002年3月9日
-
2002年3月8日
-
Added a new program, sfddiff, to compare fonts
and show their differences.
-
2002年3月6日
-
Small change to the format of cidmap files (to bring names into conformance
with adobe's spec on modified unicode names), and corresponding changes to
a few routines.
-
Add support for the type1 format produced by GNU type1utils. Which is vaguely
like that used by ghostview.
-
2002年3月4日
-
Fixed more problems with reading eps files (these were mostly within Expand
Stroke, so presumably also problems with Element->Expand Stroke)
-
And one more problem with the file chooser.
-
Scripting additions:
-
Ability to generate a pfm file from script
-
Ability to Merge Kerning Info from a script
-
Ability to Remove All Kerning info from a script
-
Will now display something useful for rotated and italic cids
-
2002年3月3日
-
Fixed a number of problems involved in reading in eps files.
-
28-Feb Mac work introduced a bug in the file picker dlg (in wildcarding).
-
2002年3月2日
-
Rounding errors could accumulate when generating Type1 fonts.
-
Fix for some overlap problems due to KANOU Hiroki
-
If FontForge crashed (or was interrupted) after making some (unsaved) changes
to a font, and that font was subsequently deleted, the FontForge's autorecovery
would complain about a missing file each time it was started. Now it will
notice the problem and ask whether it should delete the recovery file (whereupon
it will stop complaining).
-
Enabled a fix from Greg Ford so that FontForge set the mac style bits
appropriately.
-
2002年2月28日
-
When running under Mac OS/X FontForge is now able to open/create mac resource
forks
-
I may have fixed a bug displaying images on solaris screens with bit depth
8
-
Cleaned up a problem with the postscript name table (in a ttf file) when
there was a .notdef character
-
Fixed some problems with references when reading in truetype.
-
2002年2月24日
-
Substr() did not work when given three arguments
-
Added
-
$bitmaps (returns an array of all bitmap sizes rasterized for the current
font)
-
BitmapsAvail()
-
BitmapsRegen()
-
Changed the FontInfo dlg to give direct access to the postscript names rather
than trying to build the fontname out of family and modifiers.
-
Added the ability to create an encoding which is any given plane of unicode
(ie BMP is plane 0, SMP is plane 1, SIP is plane 2...)
-
Fixed a bug in Revert
-
More work on hints.
-
Build Composite will now build a dotlessi from an "i" (and same for dotlessj)
-
2002年2月20日
-
Made Shift-Arrow keys move along italic axis.
-
$argv didn't work in scripting. (broken when I added arrays)
-
2002年2月19日
-
Bugs in the generation of MacRoman encoding tables in ttf output (introduced
14-Feb)
-
The Goto Dlg sometimes didn't notice Returns (ie. OK button wasn't always
invoked)
-
Some linear splines were not noticed as such.
-
2002年2月18日
-
Cancelling the Point Info dlg would leave minimum distance hints in a bad
state.
-
Using Undo also left the MD hints wonky
-
added $fontchanged to scripting
-
Added SaveAll menu item in font view.
-
Sometimes the underlines for accelerators didn't print in the menu (depended
on what FontForge thought the screen resolution was).
-
Added a new minimum distance hint for serifs of diagonal stems.
-
Fixed a bug where some extra serif stems were hinted.
-
2002年2月16日
-
Created a "Select" submenu of the edit menu in the outline view. Moved
Edit->Select All, View->Next Point, View->Prev Point into it.
-
Added Deselect All, Select Next Control Point, Select Prev Control Point,
Select First Point, Select Width, Select VWidth
-
It is now possible to select the width (right bearing) line and move it with
the arrow keys or transform dlg (or to move points and the width line
concurrently). VWidth too.
-
Added variables with global and font scope to Scripting.
-
Yet another bug in the new simplify/merge code
-
Cleaned up unicode range names a bit more.
-
Changed the Goto Character dialog so that it will now (for two/four byte
encodings) display a list of unicode ranges which are in the font and allow
you to go to a range by name.
-
Made it possible to copy and paste the left and right side bearings (from
menus and scripts)
-
2002年2月14日
-
My TrueType parser will now read cmap subtable formats 8,10 and 12 (the 4
byte encoding tables) and will produce format 12 subtables for full unicode
fonts.
-
Cleaned up various encoding problems.
-
Fixed display of SJIS.
-
Added better commentary on unicode outside of BMP
-
Cleaned up the spec file
-
In pfb files subroutines for references didn't work if the first thing called
was untranslated.
-
The arrow keys can be used to move a control point.
-
2002年2月12日
-
Added sjis and Wansung encodings
-
Used freetype for a couple of other things (generating gdf files and exporting
bitmaps)
-
Textfields didn't respond to middle button clicks (to paste the primary
selection).
-
FontForge would sometimes fail to exit properly if you brought up a script
dlg.
-
Added a --version command line option.
-
Fixed another bug in generating postscript.
-
Added a user defined print command option to the print dlg.
-
Fixed a bug in Simplify/Merge
-
Fixed a bug in loading integer resources
-
Cleaned up the help command line option.
-
2002年2月9日
-
FontForge will now use freetype (if available) to generate bitmaps for the
fonts (results are much better).
It still does its own rasterizing for the fontview (there's a lot of overhead
involved with freetype, and this needs to be fastish)
-
Made the Generate Font dlg settings sticky across invocations of fontforge.
-
2002年2月8日
-
FontForge would crash when generating a PostScript font from ARIAL.TTF.
-
Changed the bitmap dlgs so that they allow you to specify some control over
interesting screen resolutions. (before just support X standard res. of 75
and 100, now support MS 96&120 and Mac 72).
-
Oops, Apple now documents that the bdat and bloc tables should have version
number 0x20000. But when I last looked it said 0x10000 and that didn't work.
-
Put the docs in their own rpm file.
-
2002年2月7日
-
I think I've figured out how Apple does asian bitmaps now. They don't use
NFNTs at all (or they do, but those NFNT are tiny stubs with no real data
in them). All the data are in the sfnt. I should produce them properly now.
-- Except I don't.
-
I've also added the ability to create bitmap only sfnts for the mac.
-- Which also isn't recognized by the mac.
-
Made it possible for scripts to generate bitmaps without generating an outline
font
-
Fixed some problems loading bitmaps from ttf files.
-
Fixed some problems loading bitmaps from anything...
-
Allowed importation of eps files from the font view (to the extent that I
can parse eps files, that is)
-
Oops, scripting didn't support importation of pcf files.
-
2002年2月5日
-
Sometimes popup windows (tool tips) would show up with nothing in them. That
should be fixed now.
-
Added icons for pcf files
-
Started work on 32 bit unicode.
-
Oops. Scripting handled the calligraphic pen angle incorrectly.
-
Put something into the about box.
-
2002年2月4日
-
Oops. FontForge was misusing the type1 "seac" command in some cases. I had
not realized that the character being built needed to have the same width
as the base (non-accent) character. This has been fixed.
-
When using the charinfo dlg to change the name of a char, and that name was
in use, and you cancelled the dlg after being warned about it then FontForge
would crash (it would muck up memory).
-
FontForge wasn't always calling subroutines (in postscript) when a character
was in a subr.
-
FontForge will now read in X11 pcf font files (they can be compressed, if
so FontForge will decompress them first).
-
Bug in wildcard processing for file chooser window.
-
2002年2月1日
-
Nifty! SUSE ships some greek (bitmap) fonts with iso8859-1 encodings rather
than iso8859-7. FontForge is now alert and when it sees a bitmap font with
foundary "greek" and encoding "iso8859-1" it will pretend it has encoding
"iso8859-7".
-
FontForge got confused by some fonts produced by type1fix.pl. Should be fixed.
-
Build Composite Characters will now check the user defined ligature string
to see what characters to use to build a ligature.
-
2002年1月31日
-
Conversion tables between JIS0201 (Katakana) and Unicode were wrong. KANOU
Hiroki provided correct ones.
-
2002年1月30日
-
Oops. I'd left diagonal stems enabled in ttf generation. Caused problems.
Disabled now.
-
More work on accented characters.
-
2002年1月29日
-
Sped up background image drawing (finally)
-
2002年1月28日
-
Added
-
Strtol
-
Strskipint
-
AskUser
-
Error
-
Added a menu of commonly used scripts which the user can specify with the
preference dlg.
-
2002年1月25日
-
Oops. Generate command in scripting language only generated pfb fonts
-
FontForge would get confused if it loaded a font from a script when running
with windows. Eventually it would crash, but perhaps not until you exited.
-
Added
-
$italicangle
-
$cidfontname, $cidfamilyname, $cidfullname
-
$weight, $copyright
-
$cidweight, $cidcopyright

2002年1月23日
-
Fixed a crash in merge (caused by selecting all points on a path and merging
it (to remove the path))
-
Improved positioning of ogonek and cedilla accents in Build Accented Character
-
2002年1月22日
-
Added:
-
SetCharCnt

SetCharName
-
SetUnicodeValue
-
CIDChangeSubFont
-
SetFontNames
-
CIDSetFontNames
-
$curcid, $nextcid, $firstcid, $cidname
-
Cleaned up ligature handling in char info dlg
-
Cleaned up array freeing in scripting.
-
Fixed a crash in FontInfo introduced yesterday
-
2002年1月21日
-
Import will now allow you to import background images from the font view
(and the default setting of "Background" for "pk" files has been set to true)
-
Added a scripting command to access
-
Import
-
strlen
-
strstr
-
strcasecmp
-
strsub
-
arrays
-
access to the postscript names of the font
-
access to information about individual characters
-
Cleaned up some display oddities in the fontview.
-
Added a Set Width command to the bitmap view IF there is no outline font.
-
Added a menu item to invoke a script
-
Added a "Comment" field to FontInfo. This does not correspond to any postscript
or truetype entity. It is to be used for a changelog within the sfd file
(or something similar).
-
2002年1月19日
-
Initial version of scripting.
-
Optimizer caused rounding errors which caused test for divide by zero to
fail leading to errors in Simplify and Merge commands.
-
bdf fonts with an encoding which did not itself include "-1" (or similar)
failed to get the implied "-0" added.
-
2002年1月17日
-
FontForge used to crash (sometimes anyway) if a list popup were active when
a window was destroyed.
-
TextFields within tabsets (like Font Info) responded to some events twice.
-
Bug in the new TTF hinting routines could cause a crash (and did cause glyph
programs which were erroneous)
-
Crash caused by long names in /etc/passwd when creating a new font
-
Redid fontname handling in Font Info dlg to allow URW names to pass through
unscathed
-
Recognize "Regu" as meaning "Regular"
-
Only updates the fullname (human readable name) if it were previously in
sync
-
Recognize "-" as starting the modifiers rather than trying to find the end
of the family name
-
If you don't change the family or the modifiers then fontforge will now leave
the fontname untouched
-
2002年1月14日
-
The 9 Jan metrics view fix caused crashes when changing the last character
displayed.
-
The outline view now will display points at extrema in a different color
from other points if you want that.
-
Added a command to the font view to clear out the backgrounds of all selected
characters.
-
Fixed one more image freeing problem (see 29-Dec-2001)
-
bdf fixes of 9&11 Jan did not work on bdf files with character encodings
of "-1"
-
Fixed several bugs with ttf bitmap tables.
-
Added a mechanism for specifying a font inside a truetype collection from
the command line:
$ fontforge "gulim.ttc(GulimChe)"
will load the GulimChe font within the collection file.
-
2002年1月12日
-
Russian ui had an unexpected space in it which confused makenomenh. Have
fixed both (makenomenh & nomen.ru)
-
Last fix to Merge made most merges return straight lines
-
Added an elide command which allows the slopes of the endpoints to change
-
Releasing the control or super key when in one of the palettes did not update
the tool cursor.
-
The point info dlg now comes up beside (rather than on top of) the selected
point.
-
2002年1月11日
-
bdf "fix" of 9 Jan. lost the encoding of the font.
-
FontForge source included "ushort" in a couple of places. Linux must define
this but some systems don't. It has been changed to uint16 which I define.
-
Worked around some imaging bugs of the X server under cygwin (FontForge seems
to work under cygwin now)
-
Using the arrow keys to scroll only worked if something were selected. should
always work now.
-
The fontview now contains an indication of which characters have backgrounds
-
Minor improvements to merge when given an impossible problem.
-
2002年1月9日
-
destroy window fix on 2 Jan was not enough, it popped up again. Hope I've
killed it this time
-
FontForge had trouble reading bdf fonts that
-
did not have standard X font names (-vendor-family-weight-italic-...)
-
had the same name used for different characters
-
The metrics view got confused by characters with negative lbearings.
-
Added some Japanese (Kanji) text samples.
-
2002年1月8日
-
Fixed a bug in gdf output
-
2002年1月7日
-
Added a traditional chinese sample
-
In the metrics view, the kerning offset was not rescaled when the size of
the window changed.
-
Added a preference item to control the amount by which the arrow keys move
selected points
-
Changed the behavior of the grid layer so that now points will snap to any
spline in the grid layer, not just horizontal and vertical splines
-
Added a preference item to control this snap distance.
-
Added a couple new outline display sizes to the fontview
-
Use the "super" modifer to simulate a mouses middle button. If the super
key (the one with a windows flag on it on pc keyboards) is depressed then
any mouse click will be treated as if it were mouse button 2 that was used.
-
Minor improvements in truetype hinting
-

-
if a dfont (or other mac resource file) contains multiple truetype fonts,
fontforge will let you pick one (before it would read in the first and ignore
the others)
-
The tools palette now shows the mouse bindings.
-
Next/Prev control points are drawn in different colors now, and those colors
are reflected in the point get info dlg.
-
Merge and Simplify will now retain the slope of curve points.
-
Simplify will no longer remove points at the extrema of their curves (PostScript
fonts are supposed to have points at the extrema)
-
New command in Element menu to add
points at extrema to a spline or set of splines.
-
Next/Prev Point commands will shift the screen so the newly selected point
is visible.
-
Metrics View now allows for anti aliased character display.
-
Metrics View View menu was broken and was missing half its entries.
-
Revert Font would leave fontforge in a state where some commands would cause
a crash. Should be fixed now.
-
TextFields did not scroll properly with the arrow keys.
-
The outline and bitmap views may be scrolled with the arrow keys by holding
down either the control or meta key.
-
When reading a ttf file with an encoding fontforge doesn't recognize which
has some glyphs which are refered to from multiple code points, then fontforge
used to crash.
-
Support Menu key on windows keyboard
-
Use the Windows "flag" key as a modifier to indicate mouse button 2 (so if
that key is depressed, and a mouse button is pressed/released pretend it
was button2)

Copy From has been made global and sticky (each font used to have a separate
value and it got lost on exit. Now there is one global value and it is saved
in the prefs file).
-
Copy From now allows you to control whether a character's name should be
copied along with the glyph data (only in font view).
-
View->Fill should now show the current setting.
-
If there were background images in a glyph then changing the Show/Hide rulers
made the display wrong
-
In the Outline view, the character's popup box would appear if the mouse
were over the menubar. Werner thought that inappropriate.
-
If import bitmaps needed to expand the number of characters in a font (to
provide slots for all the bitmaps) it would fail to do so properly. Resulting
in a crash.
-
Hmm. There appears to be a race condition inside the XServer on my machine
and if I map a window but destroy it before I read the MapNotify (or possibly
Expose) event on the queue, then the server will calmly crash. This can happen
if a progress indicator is ended just after we decide to display it. I've
tried to work around it, but there may still be holes.
-
Added an "About..." menu entry to display the splash screen again
-
Gleep! type1 cid font generation had a couple of problems
-
Print Sample is now available for cid fonts.
-
View-AntiAlias didn't work (characters were always displayed as antialiased)
-
Menus made more responsive to key presses.
-
The Zoom In and Out commands are now centered around the selection (if there
is one, if not they continue to use center of the window)
-
Changed the order of entries in the Point Info dlg so that Prev is above
Next
-
The Escape key can be used to deselect
-
New copyright notices.

TextFields had numerous display problems. Should have fewer now.
