by Rui-Xiang Guo <rxg@netbsd.org> in pkg/14773. This package stems from
FreeBSD's one.
From DESCR:
TrueType fonts cannot be converted to Type 1 fonts without loss of
quality, since conversion introduces rounding errors and loses hinting
information. Therefore, newer PostScript interpreters (Adobe
PostScript since version 2013, ghostscript since 5.03) include a
TrueType rasterizers. To use a TrueType font with them, it has to be
embedded in a PostScript font dictionary; this format is called Type 42.
This program generates such Type 42 fonts from TrueType fonts. It
can also generate Adobe Font Metrics files (AFM files), including
kerning information.
Not yet supported are TrueType Collections and the creation of CID
keyed fonts from large TrueType fonts (East Asian or Unicode fonts).
includes the following changes:
- Print preview clips now all graphics, including text and bitmaps -
it makes gnumeric and sodipodi previews much nicer
- Fontmaps can contain per-locale default entries now, so unknown
font names do not fall uniformly back to Helvetica any more
- Added --dir flag to gnome-font-install (Tambet)
all dependencies on packages depending on "png" which contain shared
libraries, all for the (imminent) update to the "png" package.

NOTE: This works just fine with ghostscript-6.01 even though the
setup script says you need 6.50 or later...
- new driver scripts: ljet4l, pips/sc70s, pips/sc80s,
stp/pcl-2, stp/pcl-4
- replace awk "duplex" function with psset call
- adjust psnup rotation to various converters for landscape mode
- add landscape option to enscript command line
- introduce IGNORE_LPD_RAW variable to please buggy spoolers that
send jobs in raw mode
- sanitize ": ${foo:-bar}" to ": ${foo:=bar}"
- make n{c}print line whitespace-safe
- save return code in global temporary file
- typo in wmf2eps line
- make apspreview use global "restrictions" file
- get basedir in SETUP from configure
- protect $foo[bar] contructs from being expanded to array
elements by zsh
- add "-dPARANOIDSAFER" for gs7.04 (harmless for all older releases)
- save "rm" and "rp" in SETUP.cfg
- add some hints w.r.t landscape and n-up in handbook
- remove media types in scripts for some PCL printers
- be more helpful with "invalid method"
- LaserJet 4L needs fixed 300dpi
- LN macro in Makefile needs -n switch -- we must
create a directory link even if one exists already
- MAPPING update
- change email address in various places
- remove apsfilter installation error when typing "make install"
by using ln's -f (force) option to overwrite an existing symlink
(just in case you overwrite another installation).
- fix some HP driver mapping in MAPPING file
- make apspreview work again for FreeBSD (and possibly *BSD).
BSD uses a sed implementation, that uses only "normal" regular
expressions for backward compatibility not to break existing scripts.
Linux (GNU sed) uses "modern REs". We use now awk which turns out
to be more portable between different Unix flavours.
We use awk instead of sed in other scripts as well (SETUP,
aps2file).
- import a patch from FreeBSD ports collection necessary for
FreeBSD-current to use "user:group" syntax for chown. Old
style "user.group" to change owner && group isn't supported
anymore. Linux's implementation of chown (from GNU) groks
new syntax.
- support for NetWare (Novell) remote printer
- save network traffic by supporting "remote copies"
via new REMOTE_COPIES variable. This tells lpd and Netware
print spooler to do copies themselves (enabled by default).
- install and test apsfilter as "non-root" user under $HOME !
This helps in testing new apsfilter versions, i.e. to prepare
a migration to a new version on a production system.
For this feature the configure script supports two new options:
--with-printcap=... and --with-spooldir=...
- use secure temporary directory in SETUP
- aps2file and apspreview now handle printer aliases
- remove bogus hpijs driver entries in setup/printer-7.00
(but they were correct in setup/printer-hpijs)
- only preview if aps2file generated PostScript
- driver: stp/escp2-1160 (thanks to <andrew@ugh.net.au>)
- various fixes in driver/MAPPING
- adjusted various omni/ scripts to use more reasonable
resolution settings
- enable PSgs to honor HARDWARE_COPIES
- the bjc600 driver script has four new siblings (bjc50, bjc70,
bjc4000, bjc7000) to properly handle printers with different
print resolutions
- various small SETUP clean-ups
- create "basedir" link at install time already
- doc/Makefile: "make clean" should remove handbook.html
since "configure" re-creates it from handbook.html.in
- Make handbook generation smarter, cosmetic.
Summary of changes:
- removal of USE_GTEXINFO
- addition of mk/texinfo.mk
- inclusion of this file in package Makefiles requiring it
- `install-info' substituted by `${INSTALL_INFO}' in PLISTs
- tuning of mk/bsd.pkg.mk:
removal of USE_GTEXINFO
INSTALL_INFO added to PLIST_SUBST
`${INSTALL_INFO}' replace `install-info' in target rules
print-PLIST target now generate `${INSTALL_INFO}' instead of `install-info'
- a couple of new patch files added for a handful of packages
- setting of the TEXINFO_OVERRIDE "switch" in packages Makefiles requiring it
- devel/cssc marked requiring texinfo 4.0
- a couple of packages Makefiles were tuned with respect of INFO_FILES and
makeinfo command usage
See -newly added by this commit- section 10.24 of Packages.txt for
further information.
- The ippRead() function did not verify that the
attribute name length or string with language value
was not larger than the read buffer.
- The scheduler set the signal handlers before loading
the configuration files the first time; this prevented
the RunAsUser directive from blocking server reloads.
- Added Swedish message catalog.
- The parallel backend now recognizes the /dev/printers
device directory under Linux 2.4.x.
- MacOS X fixes.
- The cupsaddsmb utility sent the server name after the
user information when executing the rpcclient program.
This caused problems with some versions of SAMBA
2.2.x.
- The IPP backend did not pass the requesting user name
when checking on the print job status. This prevented
it from waiting for the job to complete when
communicating with some IPP implementations that
require it.
