| Just | 3d2d8a6 | 2000-03-15 20:56:56 +0000 | [diff] [blame^] | 1 | FontTools Version 1.0 alpha 6 (released March 15 2000) |
| 2 | |
| 3 | - Big reorganization: made ttLib a subpackage of the new fontTools package, |
| 4 | changed several module names. Called the entire suite "FontTools" |
| 5 | - Added several submodules to fontTools, some new, some older. |
| 6 | - Added experimental CFF/GPOS/GSUB support to ttLib, read-only (but XML dumping |
| 7 | of GPOS/GSUB is for now disabled) |
| 8 | - Fixed hdmx endian bug |
| 9 | - Added -b option to ttCompile.py, it disables recalculation of bounding boxes, |
| 10 | as requested by Werner Lemberg. |
| 11 | - Renamed tt2xml.pt to ttDump.py and xml2tt.py to ttCompile.py |
| 12 | - Use ".ttx" as file extension instead of ".xml". |
| 13 | - TTX is now the name of the XML-based *format* for TT fonts, and not just |
| 14 | an application. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | Version 1.0 alpha 5 (never released) |
| 17 | |
| 18 | - More tables supported: hdmx, vhea, vmtx |
| 19 | |
| 20 | Version 1.0 alpha 3 & 4 (never released) |
| 21 | |
| 22 | - fixed most portability issues |
| 23 | - retracted the "Euro_or_currency" change from 1.0a2: it was nonsense! |
| 24 | |
| 25 | Version 1.0 alpha 2 (released as binary for MacOS, 2 May 1999) |
| 26 | |
| 27 | - genenates full FOND resources: including width table, PS |
| 28 | font name info and kern table if applicable. |
| 29 | - added cmap format 4 support. Extra: dumps Unicode char names as XML comments! |
| 30 | - added cmap format 6 support |
| 31 | - now accepts true type files starting with "true" |
| 32 | (instead of just 0x00010000 and "OTTO") |
| 33 | - 'glyf' table support is now complete: I added support for composite scale, |
| 34 | xy-scale and two-by-two for the 'glyf' table. For now, component offset scale |
| 35 | behaviour defaults to Apple-style. This only affects the (re)calculation of |
| 36 | the glyph bounding box. |
| 37 | - changed "Euro" to "Euro_or_currency" in the Standard Apple Glyph order list, |
| 38 | since we cannot tell from the 'post' table which is meant. I should probably |
| 39 | doublecheck with a Unicode encoding if available. (This does not affect the |
| 40 | output!) |
| 41 | |
| 42 | Fixed bugs: |
| 43 | - 'hhea' table is now recalculated correctly |
| 44 | - fixed wrong assumption about sfnt resource names |
| 45 | |
| 46 | Version 1.0 alpha 1 (27 Apr 1999) |
| 47 | |
| 48 | - initial binary release for MacOS |
| 49 | |
