[OpenFontLibrary] Updated Fontaine SVN Revision 30 :: Need More Fonts for Testing

[Ed Trager]

Hi, Everyone,

As a follow up to my previous message,  please note that it would help
me greatly if I had access to a few additional font file formats that
I have not yet been able to test because I don't have any of these
kinds of fonts and don't know where to get them either:

  (1) CID fonts
  (2) Postscript Type42 fonts
  (3) "Multiple Master" fonts
  (4) "PFR" fonts
  (5) Any fonts (Type1 or otherwise) that are known without a doubt to
be licensed under X11/MIT license *and* actually have a copyright
notice which *explicitely* states that fact.

If anyone has some of these fonts and would like to lend me them for
testing, please let me know.

Thanks! -- Ed

Subject: Updated Fontaine SVN Revision 30
To: Open Font Library <openfontlibrary at lists.freedesktop.org>

Hi, everyone,

As a result of recent discussions on this list in the last few days, I
decided to investigate Fontaine's handling and support of different
font file formats in a more systematic fashion.  In addition to
filling in some gaps in support for Type1 Postscript fonts, I also did
extensive testing on Apple OS X for the first time.

The result of this work is that Fontaine SVN revision 30 is now
available with the following improvements:

(1) Improved support for Type1 (Postscript) fonts.
(2) Extensively tested to verify that Fontaine correctly handles the
following font file types and formats: TrueType (TTF, OTF, CFF, Apple
dfont and AppleDouble-encoded TrueType/OpenType), Type1 (.pfa, .pfb),
and X11 bitmap (.pcf.gz).
(3) Added XFree86 license detection.
(4) Revised X11/MIT and IPA license detection.
(5) Added a small addition to one of the CMakeLists.txt"
(6) Improved handling of license URLs
