StarOffice 5.2 has been reported to have this -bug fixed. Added paragraph on StarOffice in FONTS.html. -<li> Made messages on the '?' option parameter more meaningful (by Johan Vromans). -<li> Changed the latin1 encoding table to include the Euro sign, Z and z with -caron (by Thomas Henlich). -<li> Improved the smoothing code which occasionally had problems with -joining curves.

This makes substituted -hints safe to use, no more lost glyphs due to hint stack overflow. -<li> Added the font dump program <tt>other/dumpf</tt>. -<li> Changed the testing HTML generator <tt>other/lst.pl</tt> to use tables. -<li> Added debugging script <tt>other/cntstems.pl</tt> to count required hint -stack depth for the glyphs. -</ul> - -<b>Bug fixes:</b> -<ul> -<li> Fixed printing of UID in script/trans.

Saved the original one for reference - purposes. In the new table renamed "quoteright" to "quotesingle" - as Thomas Henlich suggested (and he were right). -<li> In the ISOLatinEncoding table renamed the glyph "grave" - at octal 0140 to "quoteleft", "quotesingle" at octal 047 to - "quoteright" to conform to the standard as suggested by - Martin Trautner). -<li> Fixed bug in scripts/trans that corrupted the UniqueID record - in the translated fonts. -<li> Fixed bug in interaction of substituted hints with BlueZones. - Now the fonts with hint substitution seem to be always at least - not worse than without it (well, when they fit in the X11 - file size limit). -</ul> - - -<H4> -3.2 -- January 15, 2000 -</H4> -<! ------------------------ -> - -Sergey Babkin: combined my changes with the changes by -Thomas Henlich.

It's an experimental feature - yet and needs further work. -<li> Support for UniqueID and its auto-generation. -<li> Support for the name-based conversions from Unicode - in general and the adobestd "language" in particular. -<li> Started the split of the source code into multiple - files. This needs more work to do it in a cleaner - way. -<li> Better framework for the debugging printout - in the converter. -<li> Utilities to install the fonts in Netscape - Navigator/Communicator 4.x. -<li> Patches for bigger font files in the X11 rasterizer. -<li> Linux RPM spec-file (by Johan Vromans). -<li> Added the COPYRIGHT file (BSD-style, as we discussed - on the mailing list earlier) and the CHANGES file. -<li> Creation of the <tt>.pfb</tt> files from the <tt>convert</tt> - script. -<li> Changed the <tt>.notdef</tt>-s in the built-in - ISOLatin1Encoding table to some valid names (by Thomas). - Thomas also suggested replacing `<tt>quoteright</tt>' by - `<tt>quotesingle</tt>' but this seems to be against the - Adobe ISOLatin1 table. -<li> New aliases <tt>windows-1251</tt> and <tt>cp-866</tt> for - the Russian encodings: those are expected by Netscape - navigator. -<li> The font comparison program <tt>other/cmpf</tt>. -<li> The "magnifying glass" program for glyph outlines: - <tt>other/showg</tt>. -<li> Other updates of the tools in the `<tt>other</tt>' subdirectory. -<li> Added a link to T1LIB in README. -<li> A few new options in <tt>convert.cfg</tt>. -</ul> - -<b>Bux fixes:</b> -<ul> -<li> A bug in the outline smoothing code that corrupted some - of the fonts (for example, Microsoft Verdana). -<li> Added explicit `<tt>cleartomark</tt>' to the end of file, - this seems to be compatible with both old and new version - of <tt>t1asm</tt> (suggested by Thomas). -<li> Added the <tt>FontEncoding</tt> statement to the AFM files - (techincally this was not a bug because this statement - is optional but some programs want it). -<li> A coredump when the converter tried to print a warning - (rather ironically) about a weird glyph width. -<li> Changed the underscores in the font names to dashes (this - has been proposed long time ago by Johan Vromans). -<li> No more glyph names of font names staring with a digit. -<li> The names of the fonts in font and AFM files are now the - same as in the generated Ghostscript <tt>Fontmap</tt> file.<br> - <b>Warning:</b> the names in <tt>Fontmap</tt> have been - changed. -<li> The <tt>forceiso</tt> script does not corrupt the character - and kerning pairs counts any more, and is optional at all. -<li> Fix for a loop going to 254 instead of 255 (by Thomas). -<li> Added ':' in the font header (by Thomas). -<li> A coredump when wrong language name is given (this was - also fixed by Thomas but I noticed it too late, after - I already fixed it by myself). -<li> Fixed the links to the Adobe documents in README. -</ul> - - -<H4> -3.13 -- October 18, 1999 -</H4> -<! ------------------------- -> - -Packaged by Sergey Babkin. -<p> - -<b>New features:</b> -<ul> -<li> New option -v for automatic re-scaling based on the vertical size of the font -<li> Changed the code to use getopt() instead of a home-made version of it. -<li> Latin2 language support by Szalay Tamas. -</ul> - -<b>Bux fixes:</b> -<ul> -<li> Fix for the bug that made possible calls of malloc(0). -<li> Refinement of the option -w to prevent extra wide spacing -</ul> - -<H4> -3.12 -- October 2, 1999 -</H4> -<! ------------------------ -> - -Packaged by Sergey Babkin. -<p> - -<b>New features:</b> -<ul> -<li> Added support for the Bulgarian language (actually, for now just an alias -of Russian). -<li> Added option -w that tries to make sure that the character widths are not -too narrow. -<li> Added the concept of aliased encodings. -<li> Now the conversion scripts create and install the .afm files too. -<li> The conversion script removes the intermediate files after installation. -<li> Added tunables to the conversion script. -<li> Installation of the Ghostscript fonts can now be done automatically -together with the X11 fonts. -</ul> - -<b>Bux fixes:</b> -<ul> -<li> (FINALLY!!!)
