| jvr | 9b5e5af | 2001-08-10 20:28:13 +0000 | [diff] [blame^] | 1 | FontTools Version 1.0 beta 1 (released August 10 2001) |
| 2 | |
| 3 | - Reorganized the command line interface for ttDump.py and ttCompile.py, |
| 4 | they now behave more like "normal" command line tool, in that they accept |
| 5 | multiple input files for batch processing. |
| 6 | - ttDump.py and ttCompile.py don't silently override files anymore, but ask |
| 7 | before doing so. Can be overridden by -f. |
| 8 | - Added -d <destination-directory> option to both ttDump.py and ttCompile.py. |
| 9 | - Installation is now done with distutils. (Needs work for environments without |
| 10 | compilers.) |
| 11 | - Updated installation instructions. |
| 12 | - Added some workarounds so as to handle certain buggy fonts more gracefully. |
| 13 | - Updated Unicode table to Unicode 3.0 (Thanks Antoine!) |
| 14 | - Included a Python script by Adam Twardoch that adds some useful stuff to the |
| 15 | Windows registry. |
| 16 | - Moved the project to SourceForge. |

| Just | 3d2d8a6 | 2000-03-15 20:56:56 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 18 | FontTools Version 1.0 alpha 6 (released March 15 2000) |
| 19 | |
| 20 | - Big reorganization: made ttLib a subpackage of the new fontTools package, |
| 21 | changed several module names. Called the entire suite "FontTools" |
| 22 | - Added several submodules to fontTools, some new, some older. |
| 23 | - Added experimental CFF/GPOS/GSUB support to ttLib, read-only (but XML dumping |
| 24 | of GPOS/GSUB is for now disabled) |
| 25 | - Fixed hdmx endian bug |
| 26 | - Added -b option to ttCompile.py, it disables recalculation of bounding boxes, |
| 27 | as requested by Werner Lemberg. |
| 28 | - Renamed tt2xml.pt to ttDump.py and xml2tt.py to ttCompile.py |
| 29 | - Use ".ttx" as file extension instead of ".xml". |
| 30 | - TTX is now the name of the XML-based *format* for TT fonts, and not just |
| 31 | an application. |
| 32 | |
| 33 | Version 1.0 alpha 5 (never released) |
| 34 | |
| 35 | - More tables supported: hdmx, vhea, vmtx |
| 36 | |
| 37 | Version 1.0 alpha 3 & 4 (never released) |
| 38 | |
| 39 | - fixed most portability issues |
| 40 | - retracted the "Euro_or_currency" change from 1.0a2: it was nonsense! |
| 41 | |
| 42 | Version 1.0 alpha 2 (released as binary for MacOS, 2 May 1999) |
| 43 | |
| 44 | - genenates full FOND resources: including width table, PS |
| 45 | font name info and kern table if applicable. |
| 46 | - added cmap format 4 support. Extra: dumps Unicode char names as XML comments! |
| 47 | - added cmap format 6 support |
| 48 | - now accepts true type files starting with "true" |
| 49 | (instead of just 0x00010000 and "OTTO") |
| 50 | - 'glyf' table support is now complete: I added support for composite scale, |
| 51 | xy-scale and two-by-two for the 'glyf' table. For now, component offset scale |
| 52 | behaviour defaults to Apple-style. This only affects the (re)calculation of |
| 53 | the glyph bounding box. |
| 54 | - changed "Euro" to "Euro_or_currency" in the Standard Apple Glyph order list, |
| 55 | since we cannot tell from the 'post' table which is meant. I should probably |
| 56 | doublecheck with a Unicode encoding if available. (This does not affect the |
| 57 | output!) |
| 58 | |
| 59 | Fixed bugs: |
| 60 | - 'hhea' table is now recalculated correctly |
| 61 | - fixed wrong assumption about sfnt resource names |
| 62 | |
| 63 | Version 1.0 alpha 1 (27 Apr 1999) |
| 64 | |
| 65 | - initial binary release for MacOS |
| 66 | |
