Reported by Werner Lemberg. + + +Version 1.31 8.Feb.2004 + +* All: Support fonts where the eexec-encrypted portion is binary, and the + first ciphertext byte is 0.

Reported by + Luc Devroye <luc@cs.mcgill.ca>. + + +Version 1.24 6.Sep.2001 + +* Fixed compilation bugs on various platforms reported by Nelson H. F. + Beebe <beebe@math.utah.edu>. + + +Version 1.23 18.Jun.2001 + +* Fixed Macintosh file bugs: the MacBinary CRC was calculated incorrectly, + and extended finder flags were set to random values in BinHex output. + Reported, and patch provided, by Tom Kacvinsky <tjk@ams.org>. + + +Version 1.22 6.Mar.2001 + +* Fixed bug on processing PFA fonts with DOS line endings. The symptom was + t1binary producing strange/unusable fonts. Problem: the all-zeros line, + which signals the end of the font's binary section, was not being + recognized because of an extra '\r'. This has been a bug since version + 1.13 -- chagrin! Problem reported by Han The Thanh + <thanh@informatics.muni.cz>. + + +Version 1.21 9.Feb.2001 + +* t1ascii, t1asm, t1unmac: Raised minimum PFA line length to 8. The Adobe + spec may imply that there cannot be whitespace within the first 8 bytes + of an ASCII-encoded eexec section; it's somewhat ambiguous. Reported by + Rainer Menzner <Rainer.Menzner@neuroinformatik.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>. + + +Version 1.20 22.Jun.2000 + +* t1asm: Fixed bug where `t1asm -a' would give a `warning: line length + raised to 4' error message. Reported by Tom Kacvinsky <tjk@ams.org>. + + +Version 1.19 3.May.2000 + +* t1mac: Generated Macintosh fonts now use a custom-drawn icon set, rather + than Adobe's default. They also have a t1utils-specific creator signature + (T1UT), and their file information mentions t1utils. + +* t1mac: Added the `--filename' option. + + +Version 1.18 2.May.2000 + +* t1mac: Fixed bug where generated files appeared corrupted to Macintoshes. + Reported by Marten Thavenius <marten.thavenius@bahnhof.se>. + + +Version 1.17 27.Apr.2000 + +* Added new program, `t1mac', which translates PFA or PFB fonts into + Macintosh-style fonts. T1mac can output in MacBinary, AppleSingle, + AppleDouble, or BinHex format. Suggested by Marten Thavenius + <marten.thavenius@bahnhof.se>. + +* t1unmac: Added support for BinHex. + +* t1unmac: Fixed bugs in manual page and program options. + + +Version 1.16 25.Apr.2000 + +* t1unmac: Supports AppleSingle and AppleDouble files with the + `--applesingle/double' option. Requested by Kent Boortz + <kent@erix.ericsson.se>. + + +Version 1.15 4.Apr.2000 + +* t1ascii, t1binary, and t1disasm: Fixed bad error message. + +* t1unmac: Generates PFB fonts by default. + + +Version 1.14 25.Aug.1999 + +* t1asm: Version 1.13 produced complete crap output. My test cases were too + limited to catch this. Found by Rainer Menzner + <Rainer.Menzner@neuroinformatik.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>. + + +Version 1.13 2.Aug.1999 + +* t1disasm: Complete rewrite. It now uses t1lib.c functions; the goal is to + handle PFA and PFB fonts consistently. This has been extensively tested, + but there may be bugs. + +* t1disasm, t1asm: Fixed to support fonts with multiple Subrs and + CharStrings sections, like some old Oblique fonts. + +* PFA minimum line length raised to 4. + +* t1ascii, t1binary, t1disasm: Changes in t1lib.c to support reading binary + PFA fonts. Requested by Tom Kacvinsky <tjk@ams.org>. + + +Version 1.12 1.Aug.1999 + +* t1ascii, t1binary, t1asm, t1disasm: Support fonts with whitespace + following the "currentfile eexec" line. Embedded fonts in PostScript + generated by Acrobat Reader have this property. Reported by Tom Kacvinsky + <tjk@ams.org>. + +* t1ascii, t1asm, t1unmac: Use lowercase hex digits instead of uppercase. + +* t1unmac: Added `--line-length' option for PFA output. + + +Version 1.11 29.May.1999 + +* Bug fix in t1asm/t1disasm: if a `readhexstring' procedure was defined, we + got confused. Reported by Luc Devroye <luc@CS.McGill.CA>. + +* t1binary now has a maximum block length of 2^32 - 1. "Feature" requested + by Werner Lemberg <wl@gnu.org>. + +* t1ascii and t1binary each accept both PFA and PFB fonts. If you pass an + ASCII font (PFA) to t1ascii, it will output it mostly unchanged, and + similarly for PFB fonts and t1binary. The `-l' options will still take + effect, so you can use `t1ascii -l 60' to shorten the encrypted line + lengths of a PFA font. t1ascii also does some newline translation + (changes carriage returns to newlines). + + +Version 1.10.1 12.Apr.1999 + +* t1asm: Fixed bug when `-l' option wasn't provided. Caught by Giuseppe + Ghibò <ghibo@caesar.polito.it>. + + +Version 1.10 11.Apr.1999 + +* t1asm/t1disasm: Provide support for Type1C (Compact Font Format) font + files. These fonts have unencrypted character strings, signalled by a + negative lenIV value. Suggestion and patch thanks to Tom Kacvinsky + <tjk@ams.org>. + +* t1ascii/t1asm: Added `-l/--line-length' option to control maximum + encrypted line length. Suggestion thanks to Giuseppe Ghibò + <ghibo@caesar.polito.it>. + + +Version 1.9 14.Feb.1999 + +* t1asm/t1disasm: Be more robust on fonts that don't end in `mark + currentfile closefile'. John Vromans <JVromans@squirrel.nl> provided a + font that ended with `mark' on one line and `currentfile closefile' on + another; t1asm and t1disasm did not recognize the encrypted section of + the font had ended, and generated some garbage. + + +Version 1.8 2.Jan.1999 + +* Added some more Type 2 commands (flex, flex1, hflex, hflex1) from a + revision of the Type 2 spec. (I wouldn't have known about this except for + CurveSoft's revised t1utils package, available at + http://www.curvesoft.com. These t1utils are more up-to-date than theirs, + however.) + +* t1asm: Fixed one Type 2 command's translation (cntrmask was incorrectly + mapped to 18, not 20). + + +Version 1.7.2 11.Dec.1998 + +* Integrated patches from Jan-Jaap van der Heijden + <J.J.vanderHeijden@student.utwente.nl> to support building t1utils under + 32-bit Windows. + + +Version 1.7.1 5.Dec.1998 + +* The t1utils package now uses automake. + + +Version 1.7 27.Nov.1998 + +* t1asm: Should now work with fonts that have no /Subrs sections. Previously, + assembling such a font would silently fail; all the character definitions + would be mistaken for procedures and t1asm wouldn't translate them. Problem + noticed and fix suggested by Tom Kacvinsky <tjk@ams.org>. + +* t1disasm: Removed spurious debugging output and improved warning message + about unknown charstring commands. + +* Changed fgetc/fputc into getc/putc. + + +Version 1.6 27.Sep.1998 + +* `--help' now prints to stdout, following the GNU Coding Standards. + +* Makefiles: Added `make uninstall' target, enabled `./configure's + program name transformations, made VPATH builds possible. + + +Version 1.5.2 6.Aug.1998 + +* t1asm/t1disasm: Changed unknown charstring commands at the request of + Werner Lemberg and LEE Chun-Yu. An unknown escape in the charstring, like + 12 X, is translated to "escape_X" rather than "UNKNOWN_12_X". + + +Version 1.5.1 31.May.1998 + +* t1unmac did not actually understand the -r and -b options. Fixed. + +* t1unmac: Added better diagnostics to help you diagnose seeking problems. + + +Version 1.5 5.Mar.1998 + +* Initial release with Eddie Kohler as maintainer. + +* All: Updated to the GNU program behavior standards (long options, --help, + --version). Banners removed. Added more error messages. + +* t1binary: Removed fixed limit on line length. + +* t1binary: Supports Macintosh files, whose lines end in `\r'. + +* t1binary: Supports an odd number of hex digits in a line. + +* t1asm/t1disasm: Added support for Type 2 commands like `blend' and `add', + which also appear in some multiple master fonts like Adobe Jenson. + +* t1asm/t1disasm: Added support for unknown charstring commands. t1disasm + translates an unknown command #X to "UNKNOWN_X", and t1asm does the reverse. + +* t1asm/t1unmac: Changed default output to PFB. + +* t1unmac: Used to be called `unpost'. `t1unmac' is a much better name. |
