It - contains an overview and brief installation - instructions for the t1-library. - ----- Copyright: t1lib is copyrighted (c) Rainer Menzner, 1996-2007. - As of version 0.5, t1lib is distributed under the - GNU General Public Library License. The - conditions can be found in the files LICENSE and - LGPL, which should reside in the toplevel - directory of the distribution. Please note that - there are parts of t1lib that are subject to - other licenses: - The parseAFM-package is copyrighted by Adobe Systems - Inc. - The type1 rasterizer is copyrighted by IBM and the - X11-consortium. - ----- Warranties: Of course, there's NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND :-) - ----- Credits: I want to thank IBM and the X11-consortium for making - their rasterizer freely available. - Also thanks to Piet Tutelaers for his ps2pk, from - which I took the rasterizer sources in a format - independent from X11. - Thanks to all people who make free software living! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------*/ - - - -About t1lib: ------------- - -t1lib is a library distributed under the GNU General Public Library -License for generating character- and string-glyphs from Adobe Type 1 -fonts under UNIX. t1lib uses most of the code of the X11 rasterizer -donated by IBM to the X11-project. But some disadvantages of the -rasterizer being included in X11 have been eliminated. Here are some -of the features: - -- t1lib is completely independent of X11 (although the program - provided for testing the library needs X11) - -- fonts are made known to library by means of a font database file at - runtime - -- searchpaths for all types of input files are configured by means - of a configuration file at runtime - -- characters are rastered as they are needed - -- characters and complete strings may be rastered by a simple function - call - -- when rastering strings, pairwise kerning information from .afm-files - may optionally be taken into account - -- an interface to ligature-information of afm-files is provided - -- a program to generate afm-files from Type 1 font files is included - -- rotation and arbitrary transformations are supported - -- there's support for extending and slanting fonts - -- underlining, overlining and overstriking is supported - -- new encoding vectors may be loaded at runtime and fonts may be - reencoded using these encoding vectors - -- antialiasing is implemented - -- Right-To-Left typesetting is supported - -- Font subsetting is easily possible - -- support of composite character information - -- stroking of character outlines with variable strokewidths - -- An interactive test program called "xglyph" is included in the - distribution. This program allows to test all of the features of the - library. It requires X11. - - - -Changes and New Features: -------------------------- - -- See the file Changes in the T1Lib top-directory for information on new - features. - - - -Installation: -------------- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -Note: VMS-users should examine configure.com in the toplevel directory, which - is a configure-script for VMS, kindly contributed by John Hasstedt - and now maintained by Martin Zinser. - This file contains notes on how to compile t1lib on VMS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - - -After unpacking the archive (what you obviously did already), change -to subdirectory t1lib-..../ and type: - - ./configure - -This will create the Makefiles. Then type - - make - - -In order to use the testprogram xglyph, X11 needs to be installed on your -system. - -If you have difficulties during configuring and building t1lib, cd to -directory t1lib-.../doc and execute - - $ latex t1lib_doc.tex - $ makeindex t1lib_doc - $ latex t1lib_doc.tex - $ latex t1lib_doc.tex - -This will generate the docs which contain a more detailed description -of the build-process. LaTeX2e is required. Alternatively, you can scan the -preformatted pdf-documentation. - - -Before installing the libraries, you should test whether all things -work correct: - -1) Change to subdirectory xglyph - -2) Start the program xglyph - -3) Ensure that the output-window is not hidden behind another window. - -4) Before doing anything other, click on button "String". The - string "Test" should now be rastered and displayed in the - output-window, using font BitstreamCharterBTRoman at 100bp without - kerning. If that works, most probably all works for you. - -5) Have a look at t1lib_doc.dvi in the doc-subdirectory of the package - and read the chapter on xglyph. However, most of this program is - self-explaining, so that you might want to omit this step. - -6) Play with the program and enjoy. - -7) If you do not have X11, you can still check whether t1lib works for - you. Copy one of the pfb-files from t1lib-.../Fonts/type1, say, - bchr.pfb, to the type1afm-subdirectory, and run - - type1afm bchr.pfb - - If the afm-file bchr.afm is generated, t1lib will most probably - work on your system. - - - -Documentation: --------------- - -As mentioned above, documentation is provided in LaTeX2e-format -subdirectory T1Lib/doc. It should have been built during the build. -The section on runtime setup is really important, -because programs may fail due to an invalid or incomplete runtime -setup, although the programs itself may be correct! -A preformatted Version is also available in pdf. - - - -How to get it: --------------- - -t1lib is available at - -ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/libs/graphics/t1lib-x.y[.z].tar.gz - -where x.y[.z] is the version identification. - - - -Closing: --------- - -You are allowed to send the author lots of money and dozents of gifts, -but you needn't :-) -If you have any comments to this library, feedback is wanted. Send -eMail to: - -Rainer.Menzner@web.de - - - -Future: -------- - -Within the past years, my time has constantly and increasingly become spare so -that I hardly found time to further develop t1lib. And developing free -software is undoubtedly related to a certain amount of fun, which in turn only -can come up if you are relaxed with respect to time ... - -Since t1lib now has reached a reasonably stable state, I intend to more or -less freeze the development of new features at this point. Of course, bug -fixes etc. should be possible further. - -If there is somebody out there willing to further develop t1lib, he or she is -welcome to contact me ... - - - -Have fun, - - -Rainer - |
