t1lib is a library written in C which implements functions for generating
|
|
bitmaps from Adobe Type 1 fonts. It uses most internal parts of the Type 1
|
|
rasterizer provided with X11R5 and newer but tries avoid the disadvantages
|
|
known from that rasterizer. Although most people would use the rasterizer
|
|
under X11, having X11 is not necessary at all.
|
|
|
|
The rasterizer is implemented as a shared or static library to be linked
|
|
to the programs that want to use Type 1 fonts. In addition to this library
|
|
there is a test-program called xglyph which, as the name indicates,
|
|
requires X11. It can be used to show most of the features of the library.
|
|
xglyph can be run out of the box without doing any X11 configuration like
|
|
setting resources.
