KDE3.4 -> KDE3.5
|
|
================
|
|
1. When copying a file out of fonts sub-system, copy as filename, or <fontname>.fonts.tar.gz
|
|
in the case of multiple font files mapped to the same font name.
|
|
|
|
e.g. Times New Roman -> times.ttf
|
|
Helvetica, Bold Oblique-> Hevetica, Bold Oblique.fonts.tar.gz
|
|
Which contains:
|
|
75dpi_helvBO10.pcf.gz
|
|
75dpi_helvBO12.pcf.gz
|
|
100dpi_helvBO10.pcf.gz
|
|
100dpi_helvBO12.pcf.gz
|
|
...etc
|
|
|
|
2. New mimetype: fonts/package - to cater for the above.
|
|
3. Add settings to enable/disable configuring fonts for legacy X, and Ghostscript
|
|
(X defaults to true, and Ghostscript defaults to false)
|
|
4. Show mime-type in detailed view.
|
|
5. Simple font sample printing - but only of installed fonts!
|
|
6. Add toggle button to control display of bitmap fonts.
|
|
|
|
KDE3.3 -> KDE3.4
|
|
================
|
|
1. Font listing comes from fontconfig. This means that fonts will be grouped, i.e.
|
|
previously each size of a bitmap font was shown seperately, now only 1 font
|
|
will be displayed which represents all sizes.
|
|
2. Only fonts, and not folders (except System and Personal), are now shown.
|
|
3. Creation of afms from pfa/pfb and a pfm file.
|
|
4. Previews are drawn via Xft - previously FreeType was called directly.
|
|
5. New font preview look.
|
|
6. No longer dependant upon file extension.
|
|
7. Check for FPE of "fontconfig" -> if set, then no need to configure X core fonts.
|
|
|
|
KDE3.2 -> KDE3.3
|
|
================
|
|
1. List fonts as "Full Name" -> i.e. "Times New Roman".
|
|
2. Preview of bitmap fonts.
|
|
3. No fontname-title in thumbnails - as fonts:/ lists the fontnames!
|
|
4. When copying to fonts:/ (as non-root) only ask for destination if more than 5 seconds
|
|
since previously asked.
|
|
5. Add a konqueror service menu "Install"
|
|
6. Use FreeType2 for reading Type1 - instead of parsing the pfa/pfb header.
|
|
7. FamilyName is now the fonts *real* family name - no adding of style information.
|
|
8. Add extra style information (which was previously added to FamilyName) into the XLFD.
|
|
9. Consider regular weight to be medium (same as mkfontscale).
|
|
10. Default to width=normal, weight=medium if not set.
|
|
11. Allow change of preview string.
|
|
12. Allow zooming in/out of preview.
|
|
13. Waterfall font preview.
|
|
14. Use font preview part in the KControl module - less code duplication.
|
|
15. Include simple fontviwer app - basically just an application wrapper for the viewpart.
|
|
|
|
KDE3.1 -> KDE3.2
|
|
================
|
|
1. Re-designed (yet again...) to be a kio slave. As a user, starting fonts:/ will display
|
|
|
|
Personal Lists contents of $HOME/.fonts and $TDEHOME/share/fonts (where previous installer installed to)
|
|
Fonts are installed to $HOME/.fonts
|
|
|
|
System Lists contents of /usr/local/share/fonts, /usr/share/fonts, and /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts
|
|
Fonts are installed to /usr/local/share/fonts (as per FHS)
|
|
|
|
To install fonts system wide, just drop onto "System" and root's password will be asked
|
|
for.
|
|
|
|
As root, fonts:/ will show the same as fonts:/System (but without the System part...)
|
|
|
|
2. New kcontrol module that uses fonts:/
|
|
3. Removed:
|
|
AFM creation -- only really required (TTF wise) for SO <6.0
|
|
StarOffice configuration (S0 6.0 / OO.o is *much* better anyway)
|
|
4. X font server (xfs) - if used - is refreshed by seding a SIGUSR1 instead of
|
|
relying on a /etc/init.d/xfs script. This is much more portable.
|
|
5. Simple FontView part for konqueror - this is basically a big re-sizable preview of the font.
|
|
6. Speed up creation of fonts.dir and fonts.scale - by reading in any existing files, and using the
|
|
entries from these instead of loading and testing the font (if listed).
|
|
7. Better font preview and thumbnails.
|
|
8. Only add a dir to fontpath if fonts.dir has greater than 0 entries!
|
|
9. Use /etc/fonts/local.conf as root fontconfig file.
|
|
10. Only add dirs to fontconfig if *not* a sub-dir of an existing dir.
|
|
11. Ensure that top-level fonts dir is always in fontpath.
|
|
12. A Fontmap file is created in each sub dir, which is then combined into 1 top level Fontmap file.
|
|
~/.fonts/Fontmap for normal users, and /etc/fonts/Fontmap for root.
|
|
13. Modify <ghostscript dir><sub-dir>/Fontmap to contain:
|
|
(/etc/fonts/Fontmap) .runlibfile
|
|
...as this is the system-wide Fontmap file created. As for the per-user, one, hmmm...
|
|
14. When a folder is configured, ensure fonts.dir/fonts.scale/Fontmap/.fonts-config-timestamp (SuSE
|
|
specific) all have the same timestamp (if they exist). Helps to discover if a folder has been
|
|
modified - in which case it needs to be reconfigured (and should happen automatically).
|
|
15. Add support for TrueType Collections (.ttc), and OpenType (.otf) fonts. Currently TTC's are only
|
|
configured for X - need to also configure GS to see other faces.
|
|
16. CID fonts are *not* handled - therefore don't list the X11 CID directory, and don't let users
|
|
try to create this.
|
|
17. Don't list "encodings" in fonts:/System - and don't allow users to create this.
|
|
18. Use XFree86's libfontenc (if found) to read font-encodings.
|
|
19. Handle 1bpp glyphs in thumbnail code.
|
|
20. Ensure X fontpaths *never* end in "/" - i.e. when write XF86Config, xfs/config,
|
|
or fontpaths remove any trailing "/"
|
|
21. When adding/removing an unscaled dir from X font path, ensure ":unscaled" is
|
|
part of the path!
|
|
22. Call fc-cache on top-level dir, not on each dir.
|
|
23. Use "~" in Xft config and user X config files -> e.g. /home/user/.fonts -> ~/.fonts
|
|
24. Remove top-level dir spec from top-level fontmap, e.g.
|
|
|
|
TimesNewRomanPSMT (/home/user/.fonts/wibble/times.ttf);
|
|
|
|
...becomes...
|
|
|
|
TimesNewRomanPSMT (wibble/times.ttf);
|
|
|
|
25. Add meta-data for AFM files to KFile plugin.
|
|
|
|
0.11-> KDE3.1
|
|
=============
|
|
1. Re-design of UI - removed "Install From" view.
|
|
2. Created a KIO/thumbnail font preview class.
|
|
3. Fonts are installed/uninstalled on "Apply".
|
|
4. Settings are saved on "Apply".
|
|
5. Settings tab simplified - some uneccesary settings removed.
|
|
6. Removal of Anti-Alias tab - relevant settings moved to kcmfonts.
|
|
7. Add kfile-plugin to display Meta data for fonts.
|
|
8. Remove settings wizard.
|
|
9. Drop use of internal version numbering - not tagging CVS anyway, so whats the point?
|
|
10. DCOP interface.
|
|
11. Remember size of main window when run via kcmshell.
|
|
|
|
0.10->0.11 (KDE3.0)
|
|
===================
|
|
1. Port to KDE3/Qt3.
|
|
2. Add support for CUPS's Fontmap.
|
|
3. Create backups of system files.
|
|
4. When install symbol encoding fonts, set encoding to "glyphs-fontspecific" in XftConfig.
|
|
5. When install monospaced fonts, set spacing to mono in XftConfig.
|
|
6. When first run (as root) - checks XFree86 config file to see if a font server is being used, if
|
|
so then fs/config is used as the config file, and "/etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs restart" is selected as
|
|
as the X refresh command.
|
|
7. Only install fonts that are useable.
|
|
8. Add checkbox to enable overwriting of existing AFMs.
|
|
9. Remember open directories in advanced mode.
|
|
10. Add support for .Z compressed Bitmap fonts.
|
|
11. Read Type1 encodings from .afm files if listed as "array" in pfa/pfb.
|
|
|
|
0.10b11->0.10
|
|
=============
|
|
1. Version added to KDE CVS.
|
|
2. Modified some keyboard shortcuts to remove conflicts.
|
|
3. Disable "Touch" and "Delete" folder if top-level X fonts dir is selected.
|
|
|
|
0.10b10->0.10b11 (Test version...)
|
|
================
|
|
1. Removed "root"/"Modify" and "Help" buttons - this gives more space to font lists, plus when using "root"/"Modify" root's
|
|
config files are not being saved.
|
|
2. "IsFixedPitch" flag in AFMs produced incorrectly - was outputing "false" for monospaced fonts!
|
|
3. Added rounding to AFM metric scaling.
|
|
4. When creating AFMs, check that each characters' BBox is within the main BBox - this is a quick fix for wingdings.afm,
|
|
which seems to be giving incorrect results.
|
|
5. StarOffice 6 / OpenOffice only need AFM files for Type1 fonts - plus no config files need to be altered. Therefore, added the ability to
|
|
select which font types AFMs should be created for.
|
|
6. Output *all* characters from a font into the AFM file.
|
|
7. Fixed a bug with Full/Family name in Speedo fonts.
|
|
8. For TrueType, Type1, and Speedo fonts - family name is obtained by using the fonts' FullName, remove FamilyName (read from file), remove
|
|
any weight, width, or italic designation, and re-add FamilyName. (This is because some fonts are named
|
|
<family><weight><italic><something else>, and <something else> was previously being lost).
|
|
9. When adding encodings to lists, check that they aren't alredy inserted.
|
|
|
|
0.10b9->0.10b10 (Test version...)
|
|
===============
|
|
1. Fixed a problem with non-enabled install button in basic mode - again, thanks to Hardy Griech for spotting this.
|
|
|
|
0.10b8->0.10b9 (Test version...)
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
*** NOTE
|
|
*** Please remove any Kfontinst generated StarOffice psstd.fonts and Ghostscript Fontmap output before using this version
|
|
|
|
1. StarOffice psstd.fonts generated output is no longer marked line-by line, instead it is marked as a section, e.g.
|
|
|
|
# kfontinst <user, if not root> /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType
|
|
<fonts...>
|
|
# kfontinst <user, if not root> /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType
|
|
|
|
...Likewise for Ghostscript's Fontmap
|
|
|
|
2. Limited generated StarOffice psstd.fonts lines to 126 characters, and lines longher than this will not be output. It appears
|
|
as if this is the max line len StarOffice will accept - thanks to Hardy Griech for discovering this.
|
|
3. Fixed a bug where a static pointer was not reset to NULL when module was unloaded.
|
|
4. When chekcing ps-fonts, I was looking for the string "%!PS-Adbobe", however the hershey fonts just has "%!FontType" - therefore
|
|
I've change the code to just look for "%!"
|
|
5. For pcf fonts, look for FAMILY as well as FAMILY_NAME
|
|
6. Construct name from xlfd for bitmap fonts where can't get seperate components
|
|
|
|
0.10b7->0.10b8 (Test version...)
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
*** NOTE
|
|
*** Please remove any Kfontinst generated Ghostscript and/or StarOffice output before using this version
|
|
|
|
1. Forgot to extract foundry from bitmap fonts - however, changed bitmap Xlfd creation, see below.
|
|
2. Extract Xlfd from Bitmap fonts directly - not all fonts have each seperate component available. Thanks to Claudio Bandaloukas
|
|
for helping me discover the various bugs with Bitmap output.
|
|
3. When displaying bitmap details, if individual entries (family, point size, etc) can't be read, then the
|
|
Xlfd will be displayed.
|
|
4. Ghostscript & StarOffice include guards changed from "kfontinst" to "kfi" -- this will *require" removing of any previous output!
|
|
5. Shortened generated TrueType foundry fields - to help with StarOffice
|
|
|
|
0.10b6->0.10b7 (Test version...)
|
|
==============
|
|
1. Fixed a bug with string-to-width conversion for Type1 and bitmap fonts
|
|
2. Fixed some compile bugs if no Xft.h found
|
|
3. Remove any fonts.alias when deleting a dir
|
|
4. When try to open Type1 or Speedo fonts, check magic numbers - for Speedo check char[0]=='D' or 'd', char[1]==num, char[2]=='.', and char[3]==num
|
|
|
|
0.10b5->0.10b6 (Test version...)
|
|
==============
|
|
1. Fonts with "Normal" weight now installed as "Medium"
|
|
2. Added support for "Oblique" in xlfd
|
|
3. Check is performed to see if destination is writeable before enabling "Install" button, likewise for the "Remove" button.
|
|
|
|
0.10b4->0.10b5 (Test version...)
|
|
==============
|
|
1. Forgot to reset the made-changes state of XftConfig when saved!
|
|
2. Add a validator to math & edit line-edits to disallow usage of double-quotes & tabs
|
|
3. Select correct default entries for field-name combos when adding an XftRule.
|
|
4. Removed check for number of items in match list, as these are not always required (such as for the sub-pixel hinting
|
|
rule.)
|
|
5. When setting rgba - use symbolic name - previously always setting to 0!
|
|
6. Modified help a little
|
|
7. Reduced Advanced mode list-view treeStepSize to 10 pixels (from default of 20), this makes it easier for browsing
|
|
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/etc...
|
|
8. Fixed bug where could not remove Xft exclude range!
|
|
9. Fixed a bug where uninstalled items could cause duplicates in "Install from" list.
|
|
10. Renamed the "Configure System" button to "Apply" - this should make the neccessity of the option more obvious.
|
|
11. Fixed display of uninstall folder.
|
|
12. Added "include" and "includeif" directives from XftConfig to editor.
|
|
|
|
0.10b3->0.10b4 (Test version...)
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
*** NOTE
|
|
*** Please delete your existing ~/.kde/share/config/kfontinstrc -or- ~/.kde2/share/config/kfontinstrc file
|
|
*** before using this version
|
|
|
|
1. Added support for X font server config files.
|
|
2. Show "unscaled" directories in italic.
|
|
3. Abilty to set directories as scaled/unscaled.
|
|
4. Modified GUI slightly so that it works beter with Liquid style.
|
|
5. Added chack to make sure XftConfig file exists before trying to parse.
|
|
6. Advanced editing of XftConfig.
|
|
7. Added help on XftConfig - from Danny Tholen (obiwan@mailmij.org)
|
|
8. Removed some memory leaks
|
|
10. Default folders changed for non-root users. KFontinst will now (upon initial start-up) select the following:
|
|
|
|
X fonts dir: $TDEHOME/share/fonts
|
|
XConfig file: $TDEHOME/share/fonts/fontpaths
|
|
XftConfig file: $HOME/.xftconfig
|
|
Fontmap file: $TDEHOME/share/fonts/Fontmap
|
|
|
|
...This should make it possible for users to install fonts without being root. However, problems may arrise when
|
|
configuring StarOffice - as this requires some other files to be modified, which won't be possible if SO has been installed
|
|
by root.
|
|
|
|
...Also to accomplish this, some changes are needed to 'starttde' - see file README.starttde
|
|
|
|
11. Because of the above, when started as non-root, KFontinst will create Type1 and TrueType sub-folders in
|
|
$TDEHOME/share/fonts - if they do not already exist.
|
|
12. Moved XftConfig stuff from a sub-page of settings tab into its own tab.
|
|
13. Added question dialog if module is unloaded before system has been configured.
|
|
14. Added ability to "touch" a X font folder - marking it as being modified, so that a re-configure of the that folder
|
|
can be done in order to create AFMs, modify encoding, etc.
|
|
|
|
0.10b2->0.10b3 (Test version...)
|
|
==============
|
|
1. When locating Ghostscript's Fontmap file, sub-directories (up to a level of 4) are searched - this allows
|
|
for the possiblity of users using a different version of Ghostscript.
|
|
2. Create a fonts.scale as well as fonts.dir - just incase another program runs mkfontdir.
|
|
3. Fixed an error when creating AFMs for some symbol-encoded fonts.
|
|
4. Re-worded SettingsWizard "Folders/Files" tab.
|
|
5. Added a checkbox to Ghostscript configuration.
|
|
6. Added support for XftConfig.
|
|
7. Added/fixed support of Type1 fonts with no FullName or FamilyName fields - such as the hershey fonts.
|
|
8. Fixed some bugs when configuring with --enable-final.
|
|
9. Basic html help added.
|
|
|
|
0.10b1->0.10b2 (Test version...)
|
|
==============
|
|
1. Minor compile error (struct declared as private, but used elsewhere!)
|
|
|
|
0.9.2->0.10b1 (Test version...)
|
|
=============
|
|
1. Almost a complete re-write,
|
|
2. Handles Speedo, and Bitmap fonts
|
|
3. fonts.dir & encodings.dir are now created internally - no need for ttmkfdir
|
|
4. Re-design of GUI.
|
|
5. Advanced mode where X11 folder structure is displayed and all font types may be installed - and a Basic
|
|
mode where the X11 folder structure is hidden, and only TrueType and Type1 fonts may be installed.
|
|
6. Settings wizard.
|
|
7. Application is now a kcontrol module.
|
|
8. Complete X11 fonts directory structure is now managed - no need for seperate 'Managed' directory.
|
|
9. X11.PS is no longer created, instead the StarOffice printer file (*.PS) is now modified.
|
|
10. Ported to FreeType2.
|
|
11. Support more encodings - encodings combos now list standard encodings as well as those read from
|
|
.enc(.gz) files.
|
|
12. Internal AMF creator for Type1 and TrueType fonts - ttf2pt1 and pf2afm.ps are no longer used/supplied.
|
|
13. Removed the 'Process AFMs' & 'Delete AFMs' options - all AFMs are created be KFontinst, therefore they
|
|
should be OK for StarOffice and AbiWord.
|
|
14. If a writable XF86Config file is found - then complete folders may be installed, and folders in the X11
|
|
directory may be uninstalled or disabled (i.e. the folder is not deleted, but it's entry is removed from
|
|
the XF86Config file).
|
|
15. No longer supply .enc files with KFontinst - they should be provided by the distro.
|
|
|
|
0.9.1->0.9.2
|
|
============
|
|
1. Removed a bug where the "Configure System" menu entry was always disabled!
|
|
2. Spelling error in Settings dialog.
|
|
3. t1lib has problems with some of the fonts supplied with Adobe acrobat - therefore, if t1lib fails to load the
|
|
font, then KFontinst itself will try to read the header information (although no preview will be available,
|
|
everything else should still work).
|
|
4. Fixed multiple installing of programs in other/ directory. For instance KFontinst's version of ttmkfdir
|
|
was being installed into $(PREFIX) (usually /usr/bin) as well as $(KDE_DATADIR)/kfontinst - this was incorrect
|
|
as KFontinst will only use the version in $(KDE_DATADIR)/kfontinst, and it was possible that a previous version
|
|
of ttmkfdir (such as that supplied with XFree86) would have been overwritten.
|
|
5. Fixed bug where the user was allowed to select (and subsequently install) fonts which could not be loaded correctly.
|
|
6. Added the ability to enter a custom preview string.
|
|
|
|
0.9->0.9.1
|
|
==========
|
|
1. Fixed a few compile errors.
|
|
2. Fix to html formatting error.
|
|
3. Fixed a ./configure error if t1lib was not found (the string NO was being used as the
|
|
librarary name, instead of an empty string!)
|
|
4. Modified the reading of Type1 header information.
|
|
|
|
0.8.3->0.9
|
|
==========
|
|
1. Converted to KDE2.
|
|
2. Rearranged this file!
|
|
3. Removed command line interface - KDE2's command line stuff is way different!
|
|
4. Re-created dialogs with Qt designer.
|
|
5. Removed ProgressDialog, and replaced with a progress bar on a new statusbar.
|
|
6. Modified configure script to check for FreeType & t1lib.
|
|
7. If an encoding (not unicode) is selected, then the .enc file is copied to the X11 fonts directory.
|
|
8. As with the .enc files, the StarOffice .xpp files are also copied, and no longer just sym linked.
|
|
9. Removed enabling/disabing of Configure System button.
|
|
10. Fontmap.X11 is no longer created, instead the real Fontmap file itself is modified.
|
|
|
|
0.8.2->0.8.3
|
|
============
|
|
1. Modified 'kfontinst.kdelnk' so that tdesu is now used - so that a user will automatically be prompted
|
|
for the root password.
|
|
2. Modified dialogs to use the KDE caption ("Font Installer") instead of the app name ("kfontinst")
|
|
3. Corrected size of Configure dialog.
|
|
4. Fixed a minor bug where if all fonts were uninstalled, the 'Configure System' button was disabled - therefore not
|
|
allowing you to activate the changes!
|
|
5. Added a command line interface. (type 'kfontinst --help' for details)
|
|
6. Added option to automatically fix TTF postscript names upon install.
|
|
|
|
0.8.1->0.8.2
|
|
============
|
|
1. Fixed a bug which always had SO configuration disabled!
|
|
2. Fixed a bug when selecting Unicode encoding.
|
|
3. Changed "Fonts/Uninstalled" menu entry to "Fonts/Disk"
|
|
4. Added keyboard short-cuts to dialogs
|
|
|
|
0.8->0.8.1
|
|
==========
|
|
1. Fixed a bug where X configuration would fail if no TT fonts present.
|
|
2. If no fonts are installed, then the system configuration button/menu-entry is now disabled.
|
|
3. Changed menu structure to add 'Fonts' menu.
|
|
|
|
0.7.4->0.8
|
|
==========

|
1. Changed location of StarOffice stuf from <dir on settings dialog>/xp3 to just
|
|
<dir on settings dialog> -- As StarOffice 5.2 has 'xp3' within a 'share' sub-dir.
|
|
2. Changed structure of config file to be more modular.
|
|
3. Modified internal code structure to allow easier additon of extra apps to be configured. (NOTE: If any
|
|
apps need to be configured, then I'll also [later on] modify the Settings & Configure dialogs to
|
|
accomodate these.)
|
|
4. Because of 3, added a 'StarOffice' check to the settings dialog. If this is not seleted, then no check
|
|
is performed to make sure the SO dir is OK - and the option to config SO is diabled on the config dialog.
|
|
5. Added check when installing font to make sure that it's not already installed.
|
|
|
|
0.7.3->0.7.4
|
|
============
|
|
1. Changed location of Fontmap.X11 -- from <directory on settings dialog>/lib/Fontmap.X11 to
|
|
<directory on settings dialog>/Fontmap.X11. As it seems some ghostscript installations don't
|
|
have the 'lib' sub directory.
|
|
2. Improved the documentation a little - added a FAQ section
|
|
|
|
0.7.2->0.7.3
|
|
============
|
|
1. Very minor bug fix.
|
|
|
|
0.7.1->0.7.2
|
|
============
|
|
1. Added more detailed error messages when system configuration fails.
|
|
|
|
0.7->0.7.1
|
|
==========
|
|
1. Removed lots of debug info from ttf2pt1, and afm.pl -- this should drastically speed up afm creation.
|
|
2. Modified ttf2pt1 to accept a parameter to just create .afm files
|
|
3. Added option to modify a .afm file when installing.
|
|
4. Added "Unicode" to list of encodings that can be used.
|
|
5. Removed kfontinst-cp1252.enc, kfontinst-cp1252.xpp -- these were hacks anyway, and seing as Qt2 is going to
|
|
support cp1252 by a hard-coded codec, there's no real point...
|
|
6. Rearranged the Configure System dialog - so that Force AFM regeneration is grouped next to the Generate AFMs option.
|
|
7. Encoding files now stored in <TDEDIR>/share/apps/kfontinst/Encodings
|
|
|
|
0.6.1->0.7
|
|
==========
|
|
1. Modified ttmkfdir & ttf2pt1 to allow usage of X11 style font re-encoding files.
|
|
2. Because .enc files are now used by kfontinst, removed the possibility of using gzipped encodings.
|
|
3. Added the ability to delete an installed font's .afm file.
|
|
4. Fixed a bug in the TtfPsNameFixer class - this would cause ttf2pt1 to creash when accessing a modified font!
|
|
5. Font encodings are now stored in <KDEDir>/share/x11encodings
|
|
6. Removed the reencode shell script, as the encodng is all done by ttmkfdir.
|
|
7. Removed xfinst shell script - handled internally.
|
|
8. Supplied a kfontinst-cp1252 encoding - with the ugly single-quotes normaly found in .ttf files remapped to
|
|
the nice looking ones.
|
|
9. Added functionality, when configuring StarOffice, to select an appropriate xprinter.prolog for the selected
|
|
encoding (if one exists)...
|
|
|
|
0.6->0.6.1
|
|
==========
|
|
1. Fixed a display bug in the 'Un/Exclude from StarOffice" options.
|
|
|
|
0.5->0.6
|
|
========
|
|
1. Added the ability to 'fix' the postscript names in a ttf file.
|
|
2. Fixed some missing changes to help files.
|
|
|
|
0.4->0.5
|
|
========
|
|
1. Discovered a patch that modifies StarOffice's xprinter.prolog so that font's don't need to be modified
|
|
to use the microsoft cp1252 enocding scheme. (Previosuly the PS output from StarOffice would not print
|
|
OK with ghostscript - when using extra characters - unless the .ttf file was modified.)
|
|
2. Because of 1, removed the abilty to modify a TrueType font's internal charactermap - this was a hack anyway.
|
|
3. xfinst now uses mkfontdir to create encodings.dir - instead of kfontinst's install procedure copying a standard
|
|
one in (this didn't actually work...)
|
|
4. As kfontinst no longer reads the .enc files themselves, added the ability to use .enc.gz files as well
|
|
when selecting an encoding for X.
|
|
5. Re-wrote xfinst & reencode to be plain 'sh' scripts, as opposed to 'tcsh' scripts.
|
|
|
|
0.3->0.4
|
|
========
|
|
1. All X fonts will now be placed with in a directory - "Managed" - this makes things easier for
|
|
AbiWord, and maybe others.
|
|
2. encodings.dir & Encodings/ will now be placed within this new "Managed" dir.
|
|
3. Only 1 StarOffice .PS file will be created - X11.PS
|
|
4. Only 1 Fontmap will be created - Fontmap.X11 - and this will be placed within
|
|
<Ghostscript>/lib
|
|
5. Because of 4, an option has been added to the Settings dialog to specify the location of
|
|
Ghostscript.
|
|
6. Because of 1, removed the font option from the Configure dialog.
|
|
7. Fixed an error with getting PS name from TT font - PS names are not allowed to have spaces, but in
|
|
fences.ttf it does. FontEngine.cpp will now check for, and fix, this - using the same 'algorithm' as that
|
|
of ttf2pt1 (which means the names will tie up with those in the .afm files).
|
|
8. Added some improvements to control of dialogs.
|
|
|
|
0.2.1->0.3
|
|
==========
|
|
1. Reverted back to naming .afm files <fontname>.afm - and renaming any conflicting fonts.
|
|
2. Speeded up copying of files - by copying preview bitmap as opposed to regenerating it!
|
|
3. Removed need for FontMetrics directory - .afm files now placed within TrueType or Type1 dir,
|
|
and sym links are produced for StarOffice.
|
|
|
|
1. & 3. should now make things easier for AbiWord.
|
|
|
|
4. Fixed output of Fontmap so that "URW Gothic" will be aliased as "UrwGothic-Roman" (etc.) as
|
|
this is what Qt will output.
|
|
5. Added more processing of .afm files - this makes them OK for AbiWord.
|
|
|
|
0.2->0.2.1
|
|
==========
|
|
1. Modified start-up progress dailog, and added progress dialogs to main window when scanning
|
|
fonts. These will only appear if numTTfonts>X || numT1fonts>Y
|
|
|
|
0.1->0.2
|
|
========
|
|
1. Combined views of installed TrueType and Type1 fonts into 1 list.
|
|
2. When uninstalling a font, can now move the font to another directory - or delete.
|
|
3. Used t1lib so that Type1 fonts can also be previewed.
|
|
4. Changed Fontmap creator to dynamically allocate memory for each font-category.
|
|
5. .afm files are now named as <fontname>.<fontextension>.afm - this removes the need
|
|
for renaming the .afm file if there exists Type1 and TrueType fonts with the same
|
|
fontname.
|
|
6. Removed the re-scanning of the install directories whenever a font is added.
|
|
7. Added support for extra Type1 font weights.
|
|
8. Added a start-up screen to inform the user that the installed/disk fonts are being scanned.
|
|
9. When exiting, confirmation is now only asked if the system has been changed and not
|
|
reconfigured.
