FontTools Version 1.0 beta ? (released ???)
- Changed the command line interface yet again:
- file arguments now work more like the 'cp' and 'mv' unix programs,
in that the last file argument specifies the output: a directory
for one or more input args or a target file if there's only one input
argument.
- The -s option of ttdump ("split tables") no longer creates a directory,
but instead outputs a small .ttx file containing references to the
individual table files. This is not a true link, it's a simple file
name, and the referenced file should be in the same directory so
ttcompile can find them.
- ttcompile no longer accepts a directory as input argument. Instead it
can parse the new "mini-ttx" format as output by "ttdump -s".
- Renamed the command line programs and moved them to the Tools
subdirectory. They are now installed by the setup.py install script.
- Added a new command line tool: "ttlist". It lists some info about each
table in the font (length, offset and checksum).
- Added OpenType support. BASE, GDEF, GPOS, GSUB and JSTF are (almost)
fully supported. The XML output is not yet final, as I'm still
considering to output certain subtables in a more human-friendly
manner.
- Fixed 'kern' table to correctly accept subtables it doesn't know about,
as well as interpreting Apple's definition of the 'kern' table headers
correctly.
- Fixed bug where glyphnames were not calculated from 'cmap' if it was
(one of the) first tables to be decompiled. More specifically: it cmap
was the first to ask for a glyphID -> glyphName mapping.
- Switched XML parsers: use expat instead of xmlproc. Should be faster.
- Removed my UnicodeString object: I now require Python 2.0 or up, which
has unicode support built in.
- Removed assert in glypf table: redundant data at the end of the table
- Removed assert in glyf table: redundant data at the end of the table
is now ignored instead of raising an error. Should become a warning.
- Fixed bug in hmtx/vmtx code that only occured if all advances were equal.
- Fixed subtle bug in TT instruction disassembler.
- Couple of fixes in 'post' table.
- Couple of fixes to the 'post' table.
- Updated OS/2 table to latest spec.
