| |
| TTX/FontTools Version 2.0 beta 2 (released ??? 2002) |
| |
| - Be "forgiving" when interpreting the maxp table version field: |
| interpret any value as 1.0 if it's not 0.5. Fixes dumping of these |
| GPL fonts: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/pds.cgi?ports/chinese/wangttf |
| - Fixed ttx -l: it turned out this part of the code didn't work with |
| Python 2.2.1 and earlier. My bad to do most of my testing with a |
| different version than I shipped TTX with :-( |
| - Fixed bug in ClassDef format 1 subtable (Andreas Seidel bumped into |
| this one). |
| |
| TTX/FontTools Version 2.0 beta 1 (released September 10 2002) |
| |
| - Fixed embarrassing bug: the master checksum in the head table is now |
| calculated correctly even on little-endian platforms (such as Intel). |
| - Made the cmap format 4 compiler smarter: the binary data it creates is |
| now more or less as compact as possible. TTX now makes more compact |
| data than in any shipping font I've tested it with. |
| - Dump glyph names as a separate "GlyphOrder" pseudo table as opposed to |
| as part of the glyf table (obviously needed for CFF-OTF's). |
| - Added proper support for the CFF table. |
| - Don't barf on empty tables (questionable, but "there are font out there...") |
| - When writing TT glyf data, align glyphs on 4-byte boundaries. This seems |
| to be the current recommendation by MS. Also: don't barf on fonts which |
| are already 4-byte aligned. |
| - Windows installer contributed bu Adam Twardoch! Yay! |
| - Changed the command line interface again, now by creating one new tool |
| replacing the old ones: ttx |
| It dumps and compiles, depending on input file types. The options have |
| changed somewhat. |
| - The -d option is back (output dir) |
| - ttcompile's -i options is now called -m (as in "merge"), to avoid clash |
| with dump's -i. |
| - The -s option ("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. |
| - compile no longer accepts a directory as input argument. Instead it |
| can parse the new "mini-ttx" format as output by "ttx -s". |
| - all arguments are input files |
| - Renamed the command line programs and moved them to the Tools |
| subdirectory. They are now installed by the setup.py install script. |
| - 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. |
| |
| TTX/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. |
| |
| TTX/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 |
