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. - -* See also the ONEWS file for older news about mmafm and mmpfb. |
