+
+
+Version 2.79 12.Jun.2009
+
+* otftotfm: Use TrueType "kern" tables to satisfy the "-fkern" feature if
+ GPOS information isn't available. Requested by Nico Schlömer.
+
+* ttftotype42: Split very large non-glyf tables, as well as very large glyf
+ tables. Requested by Mark DeVries.
+
+* otfinfo: The -T option dumps a table's contents to standard out.
+

+
+
+Version 2.78 6.Apr.2009
+
+* t1lint: Report warnings when a font charstring command has too many
+ arguments. Requested by Han The Thanh.
+
+
+Version 2.77 6.Apr.2009
+
+* Font library changes: correctly implement binary search in a couple
+ places -- unexpected sizes could lead to overflow and bad behavior.
+ Reported by Mark DeVries for ttftotype42 and CharisSILR.
+
+
+Version 2.76 27.Mar.2009
+
+* mmpfb: Ensure all output subroutines end in the "return" command; some
+ type 1 processors treat a subroutine ending in "endchar" as an error.
+ Reported by Melissa O'Neill.
+
+* mmpfb, cfftot1: Ensure that stem3 hints (hstem3, vstem3) meet the
+ necessary constraints, even despite rounding.
+
+* t1lint: Add checks for some more problems, such as subroutines that do
+ not end in "return." Reported/requested by Melissa O'Neill and Han The
+ Thanh.
+
+
+Version 2.75 22.Feb.2009
+
+* Report a helpful warning if automatic mode is specified to a version
+ without kpathsea support. Question from Keith Briggs.
+
+
+Version 2.74 16.Feb.2009
+
+* Correctly detect <unistd.h>. Problem reported by C.M. Connelly.
+
+
+Version 2.73 15.Feb.2009
+
+* cfftot1 bug fix: Avoid introducing stray "rmoveto" commands and attendant
+ visual artifacts into the output. The problem was caused by some
+ coordinate system confusion. Reported by John Owens, who had tried to
+ convert Inconsolata.
+
+
+Version 2.72 27.Oct.2008
+
+* t1rawafm: Add missing newlines; thanks, Michael Zedler.
+
+* otftotfm: Understand "UniXXXX" glyph names. They're not standard, but
+ it's pretty obvious what they imply. Reported by Vasile Gaburici.
+
+
+Version 2.71 8.Aug.2008

+ Vasile Gaburici.
+
+

+
+* Add new t1rawafm program, which generates a "raw" (kernless and
+ ligatureless) AFM file given a font file (PFB/PFA).
+

+
+* Mini portability fix for problem reported by Vladimir Volovich.
+
+
+Version 2.68 2.May.2008

+ f-ligatures to all others. Reported by Ulrich Dirr.
+
+
+Version 2.67 25.Apr.2008
+
+* otftotfm: Improve font name construction for base fonts. Reported by
+ Ulrich Dirr.
+
+

+
+* t1testpage: Fix bug triggered by fonts with empty encoding slots.
+ Reported by Michael Zedler.
+
+
+Version 2.64 25.Jun.2007
+
+* Handle Extension format GPOS and GSUB lookup tables, used for very large
+ fonts. Reported by Marc Penninga.
+
+* cfftot1, t1lint: Correct misunderstanding of the Flex spec: there MUST be
+ an rmoveto in between any two Flex subroutines, even if that rmoveto
+ doesn't move anywhere. (Question: Are hmoveto/vmoveto acceptable? Adobe
+ Reader seems to think so.) Reported by John Owens with respect to
+ Caslon-Antique.
+
+
+Version 2.63 12.Jun.2007
+
+* Correctly handle fonts with 4-byte character code cmap tables. Reported
+ by Alexey Vikhlinin.
+
+
+Version 2.62 11.Apr.2007
+
+* t1dotlessj: Do not use the same UniqueID as the input font. Inspired by
+ Reinhard Kotucha.
+
+* otftotfm: Generate a map line even if there was a missing character in
+ some UNICODING. Reported by Andreas Bühmann.
+
+
+Version 2.61 25.Mar.2007
+
+* otftotfm: Automatically reduce DESIGNUNITS and try again if a font has
+ humungocharacters that overflow PL files' limited range of allowed real
+ numbers. Reported by John Owens.
+
+
+Version 2.60 27.Feb.2007
+
+* otftotfm: Rearrange order of virtual fonts so most-frequently-used font
+ comes in position 0. Requested by Michael Zedler.
+
+* otftotfm: Apply letterspacing to "dotlessj". Maybe finally this is right.
+
+
+Version 2.59 23.Feb.2007
+
+* otftotfm: %POSITION commands don't add glyphs to the encoding. Requested
+ by Achim Blumensath.
+
+
+Version 2.58 22.Feb.2007
+
+* otftotfm: More of the same (with respect to "Germandbls"), again reported
+ by Michael Zedler.
+
+
+Version 2.57 21.Feb.2007
+
+* otftotfm: More of the same: "emptyslot" glyphs don't generate spurious
+ base fonts. Again reported by Michael Zedler.
+
+
+Version 2.56 13.Feb.2007
+
+* otftotfm: Guess what?
+
+
+Version 2.55 13.Feb.2007
+
+* otftotfm: Finally fix (?) letterspacing for simulated characters.
+
+
+Version 2.54 12.Feb.2007
+
+* otftotfm: Include letterspacing for simulated characters. Bug reported
+ by Michael Zedler.
+
+
+Version 2.53 11.Feb.2007

+ '--base-encodings'. Bug reported by Michael Zedler.
+
+
+Version 2.52 6.Feb.2007
+
+* otftotfm: '--base-encodings' fixes for dotless-J fonts.
+
+
+Version 2.51 6.Feb.2007
+
+* otftotfm: Some '--base-encodings' fixes.
+
+
+Version 2.50 6.Feb.2007
+
+* otftotfm: Add '--base-encodings' option. Requested by Michael Zedler.
+
+
+Version 2.49 11.Jan.2007

+ in old fonts. Thanks to John Owens and Read Roberts.
+
+
+Version 2.48 11.Dec.2006
+
+* Translate font names into UTF-8 encoding. Reported by John Owens.
+
+
+Version 2.47 10.Dec.2006
+
+* otfinfo: Add new names, such as "Preferred Family", to 'otfinfo -i' output.
+ Requested by John Owens.
+
+
+Version 2.46 29.Oct.2006
+
+* otftotfm: Base metrics files now reflect the actual base font metrics
+ more accurately (rather than containing virtual-font-only metrics
+ information, such as letterspacing). This should make it easier to tell,
+ using "diff", whether two base metrics files contain the same data.
+
+* otftotfm: '--no-type1' does not affect dotless-j font generation; use
+ '--no-dotlessj' for that (Michael Zedler).
+
+* otftotfm: Don't generate virtual fonts unless you have to (Michael
+ Zedler).
+
+
+Version 2.45 17.Sep.2006
+
+* Include new ttftotype42 program.
+
+
+Version 2.44 16.Sep.2006
+
+* otfinfo/otftotfm: Support new fonts whose 'size' features are defined
+ correctly. Thanks to Read Roberts for defining the compatibility check.
+
+
+Version 2.43 22.Aug.2006
+
+* otftotfm: Check for availability of kpse_opentype_format. Bug reported
+ by Carsten Luckmann.
+
+
+Version 2.42 22.Aug.2006
+
+* otftotfm: Any --altselector-char is actually encoded, so you can use it
+ as a regular character as well as an altselector. Suggested by Carsten
+ Luckmann.
+
+
+Version 2.41 12.Aug.2006
+
+* otftotfm: Some TrueType fixes. Problems reported by Michael Zedler.
+
+
+Version 2.40 1.Aug.2006
+
+* otftotfm: Initial support for TrueType-flavored OpenType fonts. Inspired
+ because John Owens is working with Microsoft's Calibri et al.
+
+
+Version 2.39 11.Jul.2006
+
+* cfftot1: Unify some subroutines previously missed, for slightly smaller
+ output. Reported by Michael Zedler.
+
+
+Version 2.38 8.May.2006
+
+* otfinfo: Add '--info' option. Requested by John Owens.
+
+
+Version 2.37 25.Jan.2006

+
+* otftotfm: Fix bug where '-q' would inhibit map line output, reported by
+ Achim Blumensath.
+
+
+Version 2.35 3.Oct.2005
+
+* otftotfm: Allow '--ligkern "T h=:T_h"' (note lack of spaces around '=:').
+ Inspired by Michael Saunders.
+
+* otftotfm: Split TeX extensions out from 'glyphlist.txt' into
+ 'texglyphlist.txt', leaving 'glyphlist.txt' exactly as distributed by
+ Adobe. Otftotfm reads both files. Requested by Werner Lemberg.
+
+* otftotfm: Add '% WARNMISSING' and '--warn-missing', so that missing
+ characters result in blots and cause warnings when processed by dvips.
+ Requested by Michael Zedler.
+
+* otfinfo: Add '-v/--font-version' option and document '-t/--tables' option.
+
+* t1reencode: Add many more standard encodings to t1reencode, and fix
+ existing ones. Patch from Peter Betzler.
+
+
+Version 2.34 11.Jun.2005
+
+* otftotfm: Search for 'glyphlist.txt' using kpathsea, and set kpathsea
+ program name to 'lcdftools'. Requested by Karl Berry.
+
+
+Version 2.33 3.Jun.2005
+
+* otftotfm: Include more secondary replacements, including double-bar,
+ centered asterisk, per-ten-thousand, and so forth. Patch from Michael
+ Zedler.
+
+* otftotfm: Add '% POSITION' and '--position'. Requested by Michael
+ Zedler.
+
+
+Version 2.32 31.May.2005
+
+* otftotfm: Report correct dimensions for characters only in the base
+ encoding. Reported by Michael Zedler.
+
+
+Version 2.31 30.May.2005
+
+* otftotfm: Fix crash tickled by constructed characters, reported by
+ Michael Zedler.
+
+* Compilation fixes suggested by Nelson H.F. Beebe.
+
+
+Version 2.30 8.May.2005
+
+* otftotfm: Add support for 'dblbracketleft' and 'dblbracketright'.
+ Secondary replacement can add characters to the font.
+
+* otftotfm: Ligkern commands 'A {5} B' and 'A {L} B' can coexist, leading
+ to a 5-character kern and no ligature. Requested by Michael Zedler.
+
+
+Version 2.29 7.May.2005
+
+* otftotfm: Fix crash reported by Ryuji Suzuki.
+
+* otftotfm: Add support for 'capitalcompwordmark' and
+ 'ascendercompwordmark', requested by Michael Zedler.
+
+* otftotfm: Use OpenType OS/2 table to determine x-height, if available.
+
+
+Version 2.28 25.Apr.2005
+
+* otftotfm: '--math-spacing' doesn't set italic corrections to 0. Thanks
+ to Achim Blumensath.
+
+
+Version 2.27 24.Apr.2005
+
+* otftotfm: Add support for setting kerns: '--ligkern "A {5} B"'. Thanks
+ to Achim Blumensath for a patch.
+
+* otftotfm: Add preliminary support for heuristically-derived math accent
+ positions via a 'skewchar' argument to '--math-spacing'. Thanks again to
+ Achim Blumensath.
+
+
+Version 2.26 2.Apr.2005
+
+* otftotfm: Support more kinds of substitution.
+
+* otftotfm: Support old-style and new-style chaining context substitutions
+ using Adobe's procedure. Older fonts had erroneous substitutions because
+ of a software error; newer fonts don't.
+
+* otftotfm: Fix crash tickled by newer versions of MinionPro and other
+ fonts, reported by Michael Zedler and Oliver M. Haynold.
+
+
+Version 2.25 10.Mar.2005
+
+* otftotfm: Ignore unencoded default ligkerns (don't try to encode their
+ characters). Reported by Michael Zedler.
+
+
+Version 2.24 10.Mar.2005
+
+* otftotfm: Fix assertion failure introduced in 2.23.
+
+
+Version 2.23 8.Mar.2005
+
+* otftotfm: Fix bug present since 2.20 where, for example, '--unicoding
+ "germandbls =: SSsmall"' was ignored in favor of a named 'germandbls'
+ character. Reported by Michael Zedler.
+
+
+Version 2.22 2.Mar.2005
+
+* otftotfm: Include default ligatures unless '--no-default-ligkern' is
+ given. This seems cleaner than the previous semantics (which included
+ the default ligatures unless there were ligatures in the encoding and/or
+ the command line), but it is incompatible. Inspired by question from
+ Christopher Swingely.
+
+
+Version 2.21 16.Feb.2005
+
+* otftotfm: Base fonts include no kerns or ligatures. Requested by Michael
+ Zedler.
+
+* cfftot1: Correctly handle default values for CFF fonts, so that, for
+ example, isFixedPitch is defined to false even when the font doesn't
+ mention it. Requested by Huver.
+
+
+Version 2.20 9.Feb.2005
+
+* otftotfm: Add '--space-factor' and '--math-spacing' options, based on
+ patches from Achim Blumensath.
+
+* otftotfm: Improve handling of explicit --ligkern ligatures: they override
+ default ligatures, and any characters mentioned are shoehorned into the
+ encoding. Catalyzed by Michael Zedler.
+
+
+Version 2.19 4.Feb.2005
+
+* otftotfm: Add '--subs-filter', '--include-subs', '--exclude-subs', and
+ '--clear-subs' options (inspired by patch from Achim Blumensath).
+
+* otftotfm: Update documentation and behavior for newer teTeX
+ installations. For instance, run the system 'updmap' by default (unless
+ you give the '--no-updmap' option). This makes automatic mode much
+ easier to set up.
+
+* otftotfm: Output pltotf and vptovf messages to standard error (Achim
+ Blumensath).
+
+* otftotfm: Protect arguments given to the shell (Achim Blumensath).
+
+* otfinfo: Add '-g' option to query all glyphs in a font.
+
+
+Version 2.18 26.Jan.2005
+
+* otftotfm: Fix bug that could cause infinite loops on FreeBSD machines.
+
+
+Version 2.17 4.Jan.2005
+
+* Add t1reencode program. Requested by Ralph Aichinger.
+
+* otftotfm: Add '--output-encoding' option.
+
+* t1lint: Check that UniqueID and XUID values are in range.
+
+
+Version 2.16 19.Nov.2004
+
+* '--include-alternates' and '--exclude-alternates' options only apply to
+ features that appear later in the options list.
+
+* Fix bug where not all '--altselector-feature' features would be used.
+ Problem reported by Emil Lohse.
+
+* Add '--clear-alternates' option.
+
+
+Version 2.15 21.Sep.2004
+
+* AIX compile fixes. Reported by Vladimir Volovich.
+
+* Include RPM .spec file, provided by C.M. Connelly.
+
+
+Version 2.14 16.Sep.2004
+
+* Use AM_MAINTAINER_MODE. Suggested by Karl Berry.
+
+* IRIX compile fixes. Reported by Olaf Weber.
+
+
+Version 2.13 12.Sep.2004
+
+* otftotfm: Check $TEXMF if $VARTEXMF has no writable directory. Reported
+ by Simon Patarin.
+
+* Add '--enable-selfauto-loc' configuration option, enabled by default, to
+ help otftotfm run with TeX configuration files that use SELFAUTODIR and
+ related variables. Suggested by Thomas Esser; mechanism from dvipng.
+
+
+Version 2.12 19.Aug.2004
+
+* Catch bug that would affect otftotfm on 64-bit machines.
+
+
+Version 2.11 18.Aug.2004
+
+* otftotfm: Adjust TDS 1.1 support thanks to Olaf Weber.
+
+
+Version 2.10 18.Aug.2004
+
+* otftotfm: Add preliminary support for the TeX Directory Structure 1.1
+ standard.
+
+* Bug fix that should let us compile on Cygwin. Problem reported by
+ Christian Gudrian.
+
+
+Version 2.9 10.Aug.2004
+
+* otftotfm: Add '--letter-feature' option, inspired by Michael Zedler.
+
+
+Version 2.8 5.Aug.2004
+
+* otftotfm: Fix bug where missing GPOS or GSUB tables would cause an abort.
+ Reported by Ryuji Suzuki.
+
+
+Version 2.7 3.Aug.2004
+
+* otftotfm: Bug fix for obscure cases involving 'dotlessj' characters: the
+ output VPL could contain a reference to "(SETCHAR X)", which is illegal.
+ Reported by Marco Kuhlmann.
+
+
+Version 2.6 12.Jul.2004
+
+* t1testpage adds preliminary support for font smoke proofs with '--smoke'.
+ Requested by Karl Berry.
+
+* t1testpage adds '--glyph' option.
+
+

+
+
+Version 2.4 30.Jun.2004
+
+* cfftot1: Fix off-by-one bug where the encoding of the last encoded
+ character was ignored, reported by Detlev Droege.
+
+* otftotfm: Some internal changes; bugs are possible.
+
+
+Version 2.3 15.Jun.2004
+
+* otftotfm: Add '--default-ligkern' and '--no-encoding-commands' options,
+ to address problem with "t1.enc" reported by Ulrich Dirr.
+
+* otftotfm documentation updates.
+
+
+Version 2.2 8.May.2004
+
+* otftotfm: 't1dotlessj' errors don't prevent 'psfonts.map' from being
+ updated. Reported by Stephen Moye.
+
+* t1dotlessj: Report different kinds of errors with different exit statuses.
+
+
+Version 2.1 5.Apr.2004
+
+* otftotfm: Warn if no encoding specified. Requested by Zsolt Kiraly.
+
+* otftotfm: Improve documentation, particularly by adding example run with
+ ".fd" file.
+
+
+Version 2.0 21.Mar.2004
+
+* mmpfb, t1dotlessj, t1lint, t1testpage: On Windows, add _O_BINARY flag
+ when appropriate. Reported by Fabrice Popineau.
+
+
+Version 1.99 24.Feb.2004
+
+* otftotfm: Fix overfull encoding bug that could cause an assertion
+ failure, reported by Adam Lindsay.
+
+* otftotfm: Speed improvement.
+
+
+Version 1.98 22.Feb.2004
+
+* otftotfm: Add support for 'SSsmall' glyph. Einar Smith noted that the
+ OpenType 'smcp' feature doesn't translate the sharp-S character to
+ small-caps "SS" in most fonts. Now, add '--unicoding "germandbls =:
+ SSsmall"' to get that behavior.
+
+* otftotfm: Compilation fix for problem reported by Nelson H.F. Beebe.
+
+
+Version 1.97 6.Feb.2004
+
+* cfftot1: Fix bug in handling fonts with supplemental encodings. Problem
+ reported by Eike <eiked>.
+
+
+Version 1.96 11.Jan.2004
+
+* otftotfm: Handle alternate characters like 'Q.alt' in the input encoding:
+ map them to the actual alternate glyph, rather than to the base Unicode
+ value ('Q'). Reported by Ulrich Dirr.
+
+
+Version 1.95 3.Jan.2004
+
+* otftotfm: Add automatic support for t1dotlessj. If the desired encoding
+ has a 'dotlessj' character, and the input font doesn't, then otftotfm
+ will run 't1dotlessj', create a dotless-J font, and include it using
+ virtual fonts.
+
+* otftotfm: Avoid warnings about bad "(STOP)" commands in pltotf
+ (introduced by the --min-kern facility).
+
+
+Version 1.91 31.Dec.2003
+
+* mmpfb, t1dotlessj: Fix sidebearing problems.
+
+
+Version 1.90 29.Dec.2003
+
+* mmpfb: Fix behavior with Adobe Jenson and other fonts with intermediate
+ masters, and '--minimize' output, which had been broken since 1.65.
+
+* Add t1dotlessj program.
+
+
+Version 1.88 23.Dec.2003
+
+* otfinfo: Change coding to be friendlier to older C++ compilers. Requested
+ by Ulrich Dirr.
+
+
+Version 1.87 22.Dec.2003
+
+* otftotfm: Fix --extend bug reported by Ulrich Dirr (the expansion factor
+ was formerly applied to character heights and depths, not widths).
+
+
+Version 1.86 19.Dec.2003
+
+* otftotfm: Change where "--base" is added to support pdftex: If the font
+ name is "WarnoPro+10", the base font name is "WarnoPro--base+10".
+ Reported by Ulrich Dirr.
+
+
+Version 1.85 10.Dec.2003
+
+* otftotfm: Add --altselector-feature option, so you can specify the
+ features activated by --altselector-char. Defaults to salt and dlig.
+
+* otftotfm: Fix intermittent hang.
+
+
+Version 1.80 4.Dec.2003
+
+* otftotfm: Add --altselector-char option, and --include-alternates and
+ --exclude-alternates options. These options support access to alternate
+ characters through ligatures, using a mechanism originally planned by
+ Sivan Toledo ("Exploiting Rich Fonts", TUGboat 21(2), 2000). Requested
+ by Martin Budaj.
+
+* Add default encoding for 'SS' character (same as 'Germandbls'). Reported
+ by Ulrich Dirr.
+
+
+Version 1.75 3.Dec.2003
+
+* cfftot1: Handle the case when 'hintmask' is the first operator in a Type 2
+ charstring. Reported by Tom Kacvinsky.
+
+
+Version 1.70 1.Dec.2003
+
+* otftotfm: Add --min-kern option requested by Ulrich Dirr.
+
+* mmafm: Add --min-kern as a preferred synonym for --kern-precision.
+
+
+Version 1.67 29.Nov.2003
+
+* otftotfm: Don't run off the end of an array. Bug reported and patch
+ provided by Akira Kakuto.
+
+
+Version 1.66 24.Nov.2003
+
+* cfftot1: Don't generate "currentfile eexec" twice. Bug reported by Adam
+ Lindsay.
+
+
+Version 1.65 24.Nov.2003
+
+* otftotfm: Include default ligatures if user does not specify ligatures.
+ Requested by Adam Lindsay.
+
+* otftotfm: Generated VPL includes FONTDSIZE when referring to base. Bug
+ reported by Adam Lindsay.
+
+* Preliminary support for CID-keyed OpenType fonts.
+
+
+Version 1.60 7.Oct.2003
+
+* cfftot1: Support fonts using the 'seac' operator. Requested by Ralf
+ Koenig.
+
+
+Version 1.52 4.Sep.2003
+
+* otftotfm: Add --design-size option requested by Johannes Kuester.
+
+* t1testpage: Fix --help and add manual page at C.M. Connelly's request.
+
+
+Version 1.51 2.Sep.2003
+
+* otftotfm: Generated TFM and PL files have DESIGNSIZE set to the font's
+ actual design size, as read from the 'size' feature. Requested by
+ Johannes Kuester.
+
+
+Version 1.50 26.Aug.2003
+
+* Minor compilation fix; problem reported by Nelson H.F. Beebe.
+
+
+Version 1.50b4 26.Aug.2003
+
+* otfinfo: Minor compilation fix from Tom Kacvinsky.
+
+
+Version 1.50b3 25.Aug.2003
+
+* cfftot1: Emit UniqueID as an integer. Reported by Tom Kacvinsky.
+
+* otftotfm: '--without-kpathsea' fix. Patch provided by Adam Lindsay.
+
+* More compilation fixes provided by Tom Kacvinsky.
+
+
+Version 1.50b2 24.Aug.2003
+
+* otfinfo: New program, requested by Adam Lindsay.
+
+* otftotfm: The '--query-scripts' and '--query-features' options are no
+ longer supported. Use 'otfinfo -s' and 'otfinfo -f' instead.
+
+* otftotfm: Fix crash reported by Adam Lindsay.
+
+* otftotfm: In automatic mode, after modifying a 'psfonts.map' file, run
+ the script 'TEXMF/dvips/updmap' if present.
+
+* Compilation fixes for Solaris provided by Tom Kacvinsky and Nelson
+ H.F. Beebe.
+
+
+Version 1.50b1 20.Aug.2003
+
+* Integrate mminstance (the mmafm and mmpfb programs), and bump the version
+ number to reflect this.
+
+
+Version 0.53 10.Aug.2003
+
+* Fix problem with Type 1 output in '--without-kpathsea' reported by Adam
+ Lindsay.
+
+* Fix crash on encodings containing 'emptyslot' reported by Marco Kuhlmann.
+
+
+Version 0.52 7.Aug.2003
+
+* Attempt to fix some build problems reported by Nelson H.F. Beebe.
+
+
+Version 0.51 5.Aug.2003
+
+* otftotfm: Fix crashes with small encodings and absent boundary
+ characters. Reported by Bruce D'Arcus.
+
+* otftotfm: Add '--boundary-char' and '--kpathsea-debug' options.
+
+
+Version 0.50 4.Aug.2003
+
+* otftotfm: Handle more complex substitutions, such as those required to
+ support '-fordn' and '-ffrac'.
+
+* otftotfm: The output virtual and base fonts can have different
+ "encodings" with overlapping encoding slots. This can make fonts more
+ compact.
+
+* When assigning slots to introduced characters, otftotfm prefers
+ characters introduced by earlier lookups. This follows the spirit of the
+ OpenType specification, since early lookups in some ways "override" later
+ ones. The previous scoring mechanism remains in force within each
+ individual lookup.
+
+* otftotfm: Rewrite GsubEncoding to Metrics, changing its fundamental
+ abstraction (to two-ligatures). Simpler and cleaner overall.
+
+* otftotfm TODO: Ligatures that apply to middle or right context (for
+ example, the two substitutions "a b c d => a b c y" and "b c => x" should
+ combine to "a b c d => a x y", but they won't yet).
+
+
+Version 0.19 30.Jul.2003
+
+* otftotfm: Add support for 'emptyslot' UNICODINGs. Requested by Marco
+ Kuhlmann.
+
+
+Version 0.18 9.Jul.2003
+
+* Otftotfm will now synthesize characters for some T1 glyphs automatically,
+ specifically 'cwm' (compound word mark), 'visualspace', and 'Germandbls'.
+ Requested by Marco Kuhlmann.
+
+* The glyphlist.txt file contains Unicode mappings for character names
+ found in the BlueSky Computer Modern math italic and symbol fonts.
+
+* It also contains fake Unicode mappings for the 'cwm', 'visualspace', and
+ 'Germandbls' characters found in EC.enc.
+
+* otftotfm: Don't output a KRN between two characters if there exists a LIG
+ for those two characters.
+
+
+Version 0.17 6.Jul.2003
+
+* otftotfm: Ligatures removed with LIGKERN commands won't show up in the
+ encoding.
+
+* Improve scoring heuristics by which otftotfm decides which characters are
+ more important (for when there isn't enough encoding space for all new
+ glyphs).
+
+
+Version 0.16 6.Jul.2003
+
+* otftotfm: In automatic mode, store dvips files (encodings and
+ psfonts.map) in 'TEXMF/dvips/VENDOR', rather than 'TEXMF/dvips'. Users of
+ previous versions will probably want to move their 'TEXMF/dvips/a_*.enc'
+ and 'TEXMF/dvips/lcdftools.map' files to a 'TEXMF/dvips/lcdftools/'
+ directory, and run 'mktexlsr TEXMF'.
+
+* otftotfm: When there isn't enough encoding space for all new glyphs,
+ prefer shorter ligatures made out of regular letters -- for instance,
+ prefer f_j to f_f_j, and T_h to f_iacute. Requested by Bruce D'Arcus.
+
+* otftotfm: Add '--ligkern' and '--unicoding' options.
+
+* otftotfm: Add '--coding-scheme' option and '% CODINGSCHEME' encoding
+ comment, to define the PL/TFM coding scheme for the font. Apparently
+ fontinst actually looks at the coding scheme. Also, when you specify a
+ coding scheme, set DESIGNUNITS to 1, again to satisfy fontinst. Requested
+ by Marco Kuhlmann.
+
+* otftotfm: Remove virtual font 'N.vf' when installing a regular font
+ 'N.tfm' in automatic mode. This reduces the risk that an old virtual font
+ will screw up your installation.
+
+
+Version 0.15 4.Jul.2003
+
+* otftotfm: Bug fix: Don't multiply apply substitutions and kerns from the
+ same lookup.
+
+* otftotfm: Supports simple left-contextual substitutions, necessary for
+ ExPontoPro's 'calt' (Contextual Alternates) feature.
+
+
+Version 0.14 2.Jul.2003
+
+* otftotfm: Add '-L/--letterspacing' option at Bruce D'Arcus's request.
+
+* otftotfm: Hypothetically supports the contextual substitutions necessary
+ for the 'init' (Initial Forms) feature.
+
+* otftotfm: When you make a virtual font named "foo", remove any entries
+ for "foo" from VENDOR.map.
+
+
+Version 0.13 27.Jun.2003
+
+* --without-kpathsea works. Problem reported by Adam Lindsay.
+
+
+Version 0.12 27.Jun.2003
+
+* otftotfm: Better error messages when directories cannot be found.
+ Reported by Bruce D'Arcus.
+
+
+Version 0.11 26.Jun.2003
+
+* otftotfm: Handles the contextual substitutions necessary for 'cswh'
+ (Contextual Swash) and 'fina' (Terminal Forms) features.
+
+
+Version 0.10 26.Jun.2003
+
+* otftotfm: Update ls-R files for new encodings.
+
+
+Version 0.9 25.Jun.2003
+
+* otftotfm: psfonts.map lines contain the file name only (no directories).
+ Requested by Norbert Preining.
+
+* otftotfm: Properly report errors when encoding files can't be found.
+
+* Fix kpathsea searching and dependency problems reported by Bruce D'Arcus
+ and Claire Connelly, among others.
+
+* Fix templates to allow compilation with GCC 2.95.
+
+
+Version 0.8 23.Jun.2003
+
+* otftopl has been renamed to otftotfm. The new program takes different
+ options. Automatic mode is particularly different, and TFM output is now
+ the default.
+
+* otftotfm: Automatic mode now sticks files into a TeX Directory Structure
+ hierarchy. This works well with many TeX installations. It also
+ automatically translates OpenType fonts into Type 1 PostScript with
+ cfftot1 (unless you configure with --disable-cfftot1), and modifies a
+ psfonts.map file for each font. See the manual page for more information.
+
+* otftotfm: Generates virtual fonts when required to support glyph
+ positioning features. ("-f cpsp" is one example.)
+
+* otftotfm: Warns when a feature could not be completely implemented.
+
+* otftotfm: Add --verbose and --no-create options, among others
+ (--no-virtual, --map-file, --vendor, --typeface, --no-type1...).
+
+* otftotfm: Encoding files are now named "a_SIGNATURE.enc", not
+ "auto_SIGNATURE.enc".
+
+* The configure script now searches for the kpathsea library, since
+ otftotfm's automatic mode depends on kpathsea. Provide
+ '--without-kpathsea' to disable it.
+
+
+Version 0.7 13.Jun.2003
+
+* cfftot1: Fix bug to handle MinionPro-Italic without crashing.
+
+
+Version 0.6 12.Jun.2003
+
+* cfftot1: Fix definitions of Subrs entries 1 and 2; now fonts with flex
+ hints will work.
+
+* cfftot1: Reduce noise generated by fonts with flex hints.
+
+* cfftot1: Generates valid character strings for characters whose first
+ point is at the origin. (Previously, such charstrings wouldn't begin with
+ a "moveto".)
+
+* otftopl: Support simple context substitutions and chained context
+ substitutions. Required to support ACaslonPro-Italic's "swsh" feature.
+ Reported by Adam Lindsay <atl@comp.lancs.ac.uk>.
+
+* otftopl: Prefer '--query-features' and '--query-scripts' to
+ '--print-features' and '--print-scripts'.
+
+* otftopl: Better warnings and error messages for bad LIGKERN/UNICODING
+ commands in encoding files, and when there isn't enough room in an
+ encoding for ligature glyphs.
+
+* t1lint: Reads stdin if no filenames supplied on the command line.
+
+
+Version 0.5 5.Jun.2003
+
+* Template reorganization so the typetools compile with GCC 3.3.
+
+
+Version 0.4 3.Jun.2003
+
+* otftopl: Added --slant and --extend options.
+
+* otftopl's generated encodings have slightly different form, and are thus
+ friendlier to ps2pk's bad parser.
+
+
+Version 0.3 3.Jun.2003
+
+* Fixed bug: cfftot1 produced invalid results for fonts with encodings
+ other than StandardEncoding, due to a misbehavior in the way Type 1 fonts
+ were stored. Reported by Vladimir Volovich <vvv@vsu.ru>.
+
+
+Version 0.2 3.Jun.2003
+
+* Fix CFF parsing bugs and configure errors reported by Vladimir Volovich
+ <vvv@vsu.ru>.
+
+
+Version 0.1 2.Jun.2003
+
+* Initial release.
