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 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 to the 'post' table.
|
|
- Updated OS/2 table to latest spec.
|
|
|
|
FontTools Version 1.0 beta 1 (released August 10 2001)
|
|
|
|
- Reorganized the command line interface for ttDump.py and ttCompile.py,
|
|
they now behave more like "normal" command line tool, in that they accept
|
|
multiple input files for batch processing.
|
|
- ttDump.py and ttCompile.py don't silently override files anymore, but ask
|
|
before doing so. Can be overridden by -f.
|
|
- Added -d <destination-directory> option to both ttDump.py and ttCompile.py.
|
|
- Installation is now done with distutils. (Needs work for environments without
|
|
compilers.)
|
|
- Updated installation instructions.
|
|
- Added some workarounds so as to handle certain buggy fonts more gracefully.
|
|
- Updated Unicode table to Unicode 3.0 (Thanks Antoine!)
|
|
- Included a Python script by Adam Twardoch that adds some useful stuff to the
|
|
Windows registry.
|
|
- Moved the project to SourceForge.
|
|
|
|
FontTools Version 1.0 alpha 6 (released March 15 2000)
|
|
|
|
- Big reorganization: made ttLib a subpackage of the new fontTools package,
|
|
changed several module names. Called the entire suite "FontTools"
|
|
- Added several submodules to fontTools, some new, some older.
|
|
- Added experimental CFF/GPOS/GSUB support to ttLib, read-only (but XML dumping
|
|
of GPOS/GSUB is for now disabled)
|
|
- Fixed hdmx endian bug
|
|
- Added -b option to ttCompile.py, it disables recalculation of bounding boxes,
|
|
as requested by Werner Lemberg.
|
|
- Renamed tt2xml.pt to ttDump.py and xml2tt.py to ttCompile.py
|
|
- Use ".ttx" as file extension instead of ".xml".
|
|
- TTX is now the name of the XML-based *format* for TT fonts, and not just
|
|
an application.
|
|
|
|
Version 1.0 alpha 5 (never released)
|
|
|
|
- More tables supported: hdmx, vhea, vmtx
|
|
|
|
Version 1.0 alpha 3 & 4 (never released)
|
|
|
|
- fixed most portability issues
|
|
- retracted the "Euro_or_currency" change from 1.0a2: it was nonsense!
|
|
|
|
Version 1.0 alpha 2 (released as binary for MacOS, 2 May 1999)
|
|
|
|
- genenates full FOND resources: including width table, PS
|
|
font name info and kern table if applicable.
|
|
- added cmap format 4 support. Extra: dumps Unicode char names as XML comments!
|
|
- added cmap format 6 support
|
|
- now accepts true type files starting with "true"
|
|
(instead of just 0x00010000 and "OTTO")
|
|
- 'glyf' table support is now complete: I added support for composite scale,
|
|
xy-scale and two-by-two for the 'glyf' table. For now, component offset scale
|
|
behaviour defaults to Apple-style. This only affects the (re)calculation of
|
|
the glyph bounding box.
|
|
- changed "Euro" to "Euro_or_currency" in the Standard Apple Glyph order list,
|
|
since we cannot tell from the 'post' table which is meant. I should probably
|
|
doublecheck with a Unicode encoding if available. (This does not affect the
|
|
output!)
|
|
|
|
Fixed bugs:
|
|
- 'hhea' table is now recalculated correctly
|
|
- fixed wrong assumption about sfnt resource names
|
|
|
|
Version 1.0 alpha 1 (27 Apr 1999)
|
|
|
|
- initial binary release for MacOS
