Package changes:
Reflect master site move to sourceforge.
Explicitly set PKGNAME because DISTNAME has changed.
Excerpt of the change log:
- Changed the package name from monafonts to monafont.
- Synced with Shinonome-0.9.8.
- Applied 638-san's patch for nicer ascii art appearance.
- ISO-10646 (Unicode) support (only for 16 pixel fonts).
- Glyph adjustments.
A postscript font editor that lets you create your own postscript,
truetype, opentype, cid-keyed and bitmap (bdf) fonts, or edit
existing ones. Also lets you convert one format to another.
extension Makefile fragments, because they really don't have anything to
do with the buildlink[12] frameworks. Change all the Makefiles that use
application.buildlink.mk and extension.buildlink.mk to use application.mk
and extension.mk instead.
* Move t1lib.config.netbsd sample file to t1lib.config.sample, which is more
OS-neutral.
- Bug fixes.
- Fixed kerning mapping code. Kerning did not work correctly for characters
that appeared multiple times in an encoding vector.
- In the same context a new function, T1_GetEncodingIndices() has been added
to the API. It returns an array of indices (by contrast,
T1_GetEncodingIndex() returns only the lowest index found).
- Support for composite characters.
- Additional support for dvips encoding files (thanks to suggestion and
contribution by Nicolai Langfeldt (janl@linpro.no).
- Global Font Metrics Information is loaded from AFM files in order to be able
to read the typographic ascender. Line ruling did not behave as
documented. However, problems could still exist because the typographic
ascender specification is optional in AFMs.
- Reorganized search path handling and, in particular, the respective
documentation is more detailed.
- The configuration file now allows multiple lines of one type of search path
specification and it is also possible to quote path specification in order
to specify paths that contains special characters like spaces, colons, etc.
- Multiple font databases are supported.
- T1_PrintLog() extended to accept a variable argument list.
- The environment variable T1LIB_LOGMODE is evaluated to give the user the
chance to specify a loglevel and hence to detect t1lib-problems even if the
application programmer did not enable the log file features.
- Color problem in t1x11-module fixed.
- Fixes in AFM parser. Among others, Version had been read as name, instead of
as string. This led to a failure to scan global font info for some standard
AFMs.
