Follow-up Comment #30, bug #63018 (group groff): [comment #29 comment #29:] > When it is a separate make target (bug #65698), if we wish to > retain the epsilon kerns the make target must either re-apply > the shell script after the font generation, or these "gold" AFMs > should have the extra kerns added once before we pour aspic on them.
[s/epsilon/ellipsis] Ah, I see. In theory I can't see a reason it would matter which way it's done (though my font knowledge is far smaller than yours). In practice, the script for fixing up the kernpairs section post-afmtodit already exists and has been tested (bug #58897). > As far as I can tell the "slant" parameter does nothing for > composite (e.g. a glyph plus an accent glyph on top of each > other) placement. As far as I can tell, too, but the sentence in afmtodit(1) says otherwise. Perhaps it's erroneous. > What it does do is affect both italic > correction factors and the subscript correction, That makes more sense to me. But it still doesn't explain why, as you observed in comment #26, TI should have such a significant adjustment to the slant value (more than halving the original) but TBI have none. The metrics between the two shouldn't be that different. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?63018> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
