- ----- Description: This is file README.t1lib of the t1lib-package. It
- contains an overview and brief installation
- instructions for the t1-library.
- ----- Copyright: t1lib is copyrighted (c) Rainer Menzner, 1996-2007.

- The parseAFM-package is copyrighted by Adobe Systems
- Inc.
- The type1 rasterizer is copyrighted by IBM and the

- ----- 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,
-
