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'.

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.

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 2.5 6.Jul.2004 + +* Support compilation with gcc-3.4.1. Reported by Thomas Esser. + + +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. + + +See also the ONEWS file for older news about mmafm and mmpfb. |
