Changes for versions 1.50 and up are listed in + NEWS. + + +Version 1.26.3 14.Aug.2003 + +* Library changes to attempt to satisfy more C++ compilers. Again massive + thanks to Nelson H.F. Beebe, and new massive thanks to Fabrice Popineau. + + +Version 1.26.2 13.Aug.2003 + +* Revert from '#include <cXXX>' to '#include <XXX.h>'. + + +Version 1.26.1 11.Aug.2003 + +* 'uintptr_t' configury, and more template changes. + + +Version 1.26 10.Aug.2003 + +* Further address build problems reported by Nelson Beebe. + + +Version 1.25 7.Aug.2003 + +* Address build problems reported by Nelson H.F. Beebe. + + +Version 1.24 30.Jul.2003 + +* Fix configure check for whether va_list is addressable. Ryan Murray found + the bug; thanks hugely to Claire Connelly for testing resources. + +* Minor code restructuring. + +* mmpfb: --minimize is the default. + +* mmpfb: --minimize additionally forces some interpolated values to + integers, specifically BlueValues, OtherBlues, FamilyBlues, + FamilyOtherBlues, and BlueShift. Maybe this will avoid some problems + people have had with embedding mmpfb-generated fonts and Acrobat 6. + +* Change rounding procedures. Now fonts generated on different platforms + will likely not differ in rounding details. (What a difference 0.00001 + makes!) + + +Version 1.23 9.Jul.2003 + +* Add configure check for whether va_list is addressable. Thanks to Claire + Connelly. + + +Version 1.22 5.Jun.2003 + +* More template nonsense. Mea culpa to Melissa O'Neill and Claire Connelly. + + +Version 1.21 4.Jun.2003 + +* GCC 3.3 would not link mminstance due to missing template instantiations. + Moved templatei.cc into libefont.a to fix this. Reported by Melissa + O'Neill <oneill@cs.hmc.edu>. + + +Version 1.20 26.Jan.2003 + +* mmafm: Fix bug with parsing intermediate-master files that made AJensonMM + unusable. Reported by Fulko van Westrenen <westrenen@fvw.cistron.nl>. + + +Version 1.19 5.Jan.2003 + +* mmpfb: Previously, error introduced by the rounding process could build + up over the length of a path, causing an anomaly when the path was + closed. Now mmpfb compensates for rounding error, resulting in a path + with better fidelity. + +* mmpfb: Add the `--minimize' option to minimize output fonts, allowing the + X font server to load mmpfb-generated fonts. Problem with the X font + server reported by Joerg Lippman <joerg.lippmann@o3-software.de>. + +* mmpfb: Add placeholder subroutines to fill in any gaps in the subroutine + array, which the X font server doesn't like (that IBM Type 1 code is + bad!). Probably this should be optional, since it makes the font bigger. + +* mmpfb: Renumber subroutines consecutively. + +* mmpfb: Generate a new FullName as well as a new FontName. + +* Adapt to newer Automake and LCDF and Efont libraries. + + +Version 1.18 5.Oct.2002 + +* Fix for compilation with newer C++ compilers. + + +Version 1.17 30.Sep.2002 + +* Fix for NuevaMM-It: the ItalicAngle array was not being properly + commented out. Reported by Thomas Wu <twu@gene.com>. + + +Version 1.16.3 17.Sep.2001 + +* Workaround for Mac OS X: its sscanf() function behaves incorrectly when a + format string ends with ` %n'. Reported and patched by Melissa O'Neill + <oneill@cs.sfu.ca>. + + +Version 1.16.2 6.Sep.2001 + +* Improvements so mminstance compiles on more platforms. Problems reported + by Nelson H. F. Beebe <beebe@math.utah.edu>. + + +Version 1.16.1 15.Jul.2001 + +* Bug fix: more cleanups for newer GCCs. Reported by C. M. Connelly + <c@eskimo.com>. + + +Version 1.16 18.Jun.2001 + +* Bug fix: now newer C++ compilers will compile mminstance. Reported by + Melissa O'Neill <oneill@cs.sfu.ca>. + + +Version 1.15.1 12.Aug.2000 + +* Don't use `-Wall' by default; old C++ compilers generate huge numbers of + irrelevant warnings. Reported by Tom Kacvinsky <tjk@ams.org>. + + +Version 1.15 12.Jul.2000 + +* mmpfb: Remove calls to nonexistent subroutines. (This was not actually a + bug; the calls to nonexistent subroutines would never execute anyway. The + font ITCGaramondMM-It had characters like `/question { A callsubr B + callsubr }', where the `A' subroutine would either draw an entire + character and call `endchar' -- so `B' would never get called -- or it + would do nothing at all. Previous mmpfb versions would remove the `B' + subroutine but keep the `B callsubr' call if the interpolated `A' called + `endchar'.) Requested by Han The Thanh <thanh@informatics.muni.cz>. + +* mmpfb: Removed warning about `strange othersubr commands'. + + +Version 1.14 22.Jun.2000 + +* mmpfb: Fixed a bug with large UniqueID values. Reported by Sivan Toledo + <sivan@math.tau.ac.il>. + +* mmpfb: Support for interpolating BlueFuzz without any warnings. + + +Version 1.13 16.Apr.2000 + +* mmpfb: Can handle synthetic fonts like TektonMM-Oblique. Requested by + Melissa O'Neill <oneill@cs.sfu.ca>. + + +Version 1.12 5.Apr.2000 + +* mmpfb: Make sure to remove multiple master commands from hint replacement + subroutines. Required another overhaul. Requested by Han The Thanh + <thanh@informatics.muni.cz>. + + +Version 1.11 3.Apr.2000 + +* mmafm: Added `--kern-precision' option. Requested by Han The Thanh + <thanh@informatics.muni.cz>. + +* Bug fix: now mminstance can be compiled with recent versions of gcc. The + error was a strange use of va_arg(). Reported by C. M. Connelly + <c@eskimo.com>. + + +Version 1.10 21.Feb.2000 + +* mmpfb: Comment out DesignVector, NormDesignVector, and WeightVector + entries. Now Ghostscript 6.0's ps2pdf script will work with + mmpfb-generated fonts. Change requested by Melissa O'Neill + <oneill@cs.sfu.ca>. + + +Version 1.9 18.Jan.2000 + +* mmpfb: Bug fix in special callothersubrs code introduced in Version 1.8. + This bug probably did not affect anyone. + + +Version 1.8 10.Jan.2000 + +* mmpfb: Don't warn when encountering `BuildCharArray'. This shows up in + some ITC multiple masters. Requested by Han The Thanh + <thanh@informatics.muni.cz>. + +* mmpfb: Handle special callothersubrs from ITC Garamond MM. This required + big changes, but the code is cleaner now, and more likely to be right in + future: best of both worlds. Requested by Han The Thanh + <thanh@informatics.muni.cz>. + + +Version 1.7 30.Dec.1999 + +* mmpfb: Fixed bug where garbled encoding vectors could be produced. + Patch sent in by Christopher League <league@contrapunctus.net>. + +* Bug fix: Some error messages used to cause assertion failures. + + +Version 1.6 28.Nov.1999 + +* mmafm: Added `--precision' option for optionally rounding AFM dimensions. + Requested by Christopher League <league@contrapunctus.net>. + +* Many bug fixes for compiling under NeXTSTEP or g++ 2.95. Patches sent in + by Melissa O'Neill <oneill@cs.sfu.ca>. + +* Bug fix: numbers with both decimal point and exponent, like `1.2e5', are + parsed correctly. + + +Version 1.5 4.Jul.1999 + +* mmpfb: Added `--subrs' option for reducing the number of subroutines in + the output font. Use this option if you plan to use Acrobat Distiller 3.0 + to distill PostScript files including mmpfb-generated fonts. Distiller + 3.0 has a low limit on the number of subroutines per font. Several + changes to the Type 1 library support this. Problem reported by Thierry + Bouche <Thierry.Bouche@ujf-grenoble.fr>; tracking help by Tom Kacvinsky + <tjk@ams.org>. + +* Both programs accept multiple master instance names, like + `MinionMM_367_400_18_', and will interpolate that instance from the + multiple master font. + +* Removed `FONTPATH' and `AFMPATH'. `PSRESOURCEPATH' has been preferred for + a couple months. + +* Updated ErrorHandler. + + +Version 1.4.1 26.Jun.1999 + +* mmpfb: Also comment out the /UniqueID in the Private dictionary, if any. + Reported by Thierry Bouche <Thierry.Bouche@ujf-grenoble.fr>. + + +Version 1.4 25.Jun.1999 + +* mmpfb: Always comment out any /UniqueID in the font. This bug prevented + some printers from printing files with mmpfb-interpolated fonts. Reported + by Thierry Bouche <Thierry.Bouche@ujf-grenoble.fr>. + +* mmpfb: Comment out `Blend...' entries in the FontInfo dictionary. Now + Adobe Acrobat Distiller can handle mmpfb-interpolated fonts; it correctly + treats them like single-master fonts. Problem reported by Thierry Bouche + <Thierry.Bouche@ujf-grenoble.fr>. + +* mmpfb: Comment out multiple-master-specific dictionary entries, rather + than removing them entirely. + +* mmpfb: Interpolates Blend FontInfo dictionary entries, like + `UnderlinePosition' (maybe; can't find any fonts that use them, so it's + untested). + + +Version 1.3.1 21.May.1999 + +* Changed libraries to conform to STL interfaces. + +* Change to psres.cc to fix compilation bug under old C++ compilers. + + +Version 1.3 11.Apr.1999 + +* Mmafm will now automatically run `mmpfb --amcp-info' when necessary, so + you don't have to create the AMCP files yourself. Caveat: This will only + work if you use the PSRESOURCEPATH environment variable and have + PSres.upr files set up correctly. + +* mmafm: Added the PSRESOURCEPATH environment variable, in favor of + AFMPATH and FONTPATH. + +* mmafm: Checks for completely unknown design vectors. + +* mmpfb: Now uses the PSRESOURCEPATH environment variable to look for fonts + by name. + +* mmpfb: Modifies the output font's XUID to prevent font cache pollution. + +* Improved documentation. + +* Unfortunately, this version still doesn't work under NeXTSTEP. + + +Version 1.3b2 22.Jan.1999 + +* Don't use `index' as a method name; it's a macro under NeXTSTEP. Reported + by Melissa O'Neill <oneill@cs.sfu.ca>. + +* Patch around problems with NeXTSTEP's strtod and strtol. Also reported by + Melissa O'Neill <oneill@cs.sfu.ca>. + + +Version 1.3b1 12.Jan.1999 + +* Han The Thanh <thanh@informatics.muni.cz> reports that Acrobat Reader + gives a "bad /BBox" warning on mmpfb-interpolated fonts. This seems to be + because mmpfb would produce fractional FontBBox entries. Fix: round the + FontBBox entries so it contains integers. + +* Small bug fix: negative non-integers were formerly read incorrectly, + introducing an error of not more than 2 integer units. + + +Version 1.2 18.Dec.1998 + +* Better error messages and fewer coredumps on bad files. + +* The mminstance package now uses automake. + + +Version 1.1 27.Sep.1998 + +* mmpfb: Changes to remove all multiple master commands in the output font, + not just most of them. + +* mmpfb: Added error message on bad input file. + +* Removed hackery which prevented linking with -lstdc++. + +* `--help' now prints on stdout, as the GNU standards require. + +* Makefiles: added `make uninstall' target, enabled `./configure's program + name transformations, made VPATH builds possible. + + +Version 1.0 17.Sep.1998 + +* No changes; just decided it was stable. + + +Version 0.92 2.Sep.1998 + +* Code reorganization in metrics. (Removed LineScanner, which wasn't a general + design; split into a more general Slurper and a specific AfmParser.) + + +Version 0.91 15.May.1998 + +* mmafm: Nonexistent files caused a coredump instead of an error (fixed). + +* mmafm: Added support for finding AMFMs via path variables and PSres.upr + files (you don't have to give an AMFM filename on the command line, you can + give a font name). + + +Version 0.9 4.Mar.1998 + +* Fixed a bug in parsing fonts with intermediate masters. + +* mmafm: Added support for finding AFMs via path variables and PSres.upr + files, and for giving their filenames on the command line. + +* Wrote manual pages. + + +Version 0.8 + +* Major release: Mmafm uses a new AFM/AMFM parsing library. + +* Restructured the two packages (mmafm and mmpfb) into one package + (mminstance) containing both programs. + +* Improved error messages, command line behavior, usage, and help. + + +Version 0.62 + +* Fixed small bug in t1interp.cc which caused serious problems. (Function + Type1Interp::number() fell off the end instead of returning true.) Bug + reported by Melissa O'Neill <oneill@cs.sfu.ca>. + + +Version 0.6 + +* Major release: Both programs use a new, modular Type 1 parsing library, + they take real numbers as arguments, and the configure scripts no longer + try to link with -lstdc++. Thanks to Melissa O'Neill <oneill@cs.sfu.ca> + for suggestions. + +* mmafm looks for separate .amcp files for intermediate master conversion + programs. Suggested by Melissa O'Neill <oneill@cs.sfu.ca>. + +* mmpfb can read and generate PFA fonts. + +* Other fixes. + + +Version 0.5 + +* Fixed bug preventing the programs from working with Kepler. + + +Version 0.4 + +* Fixed mmpfb to handle older multiple master fonts (Myriad and Minion) and + to generate non-truncated PFBs. + + +Version 0.2 16.Aug.1997 + +* Fixed serious bug in normalize_vector that resulted in incorrect output. + + +Version 0.1 21.Jul.1997 + +* Initial release. |
