------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Apr 14 12:41:27 -0700 2005 ------- kfitzner->HDU: Thank-you for your time spend on the issue. The examples previously submitted were not clear enough, I apoligoze. The antialiasing you see in the first examples was actually not on the Arial, but on Helvetica. I cannot turn off that antialiasing as you cannot turn off Postscript font antialiasing - there is no setting in the adobe rendering technology (whether using the built-in Windows 2000/XP atmfd.dll Type 1 renderer or the actual Adobe Type Manager software) to turn off antialiasing. In order to be more clear, I have compiled a new test case - all the files for it are attached as TestCaseFilez.zip. In the zip file is a new Helvetica type-1 font. In order to make the evidence more compelling, I have made this one differently. This font is not an actual 'Helvetica' type font. It is actually a Courier type face that has been renamed using a font editor. Thus, if this font is installed and rendered correctly, the result should be a Courier-looking type face whenever the Helvetica font is selected. Here are the steps I took to produce the results I did: 1) To make ensure the results were not contaminated by some other font, I removed all fonts that had "Helvetica" in their name from my computer. This included Helvetica Bold, Helvetica Narrow, etc. 2) I edited a Type 1 Courier-style font (it is a Bitstream font they released under an open source license) and gave it the name "Helvetica" so that if this font was rendered, it would be clear that it was this "Helvetica" font being displayed. 3) The new Helvetica font was added to my system fonts. Now my system has Arial, which is the standard OpenType Arial font distributed with all Windows systems and there is a font named Helvetica which is actually a Courier font. 4) I ran Wordpad and made two lines, one with Arial, the other with Helvetica. As can be seen in the screenshot included in the test case, Arial looks like Arial, but Helvetica looks like Courier. This indicates that Wordpad correctly rendered both fonts as they actually are. 4) I ran OpenOffice 1.1.4 and made one line with Arial, the other with Helvetica. The section with Helvetica looks identical to Arial. This would seem to indicate that this is not just a case of antialiasing being different. If the Helvetica font on my computer was being rendered, the section I made with Helvetica should have looked like a Courier type face. 5) I ran Microsoft Word, Notepad (Notepad can't have more than one font in a do cument, but you can choose the font that an etire document displays with), and even created a small test program with Borland C++ Builder 6.0 in order to test the results (screenshots of these tests not included but are available as it the small test program). In all cases, on my computer Arial rendered as a normal Arial looking font, and Helvetica rendered looking like Courier. I believe these results are diagnostic. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
