New versions of both mkfontscale and the FreeType 2 backend are available from
http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/files/ Note that you will need to apply the ``xfree86-freetype2.patch'' even if you've done before, as this version contains a little more stuff. I gratefully acknowledge the help of Ishikawa Mutsumi and James Cloos for this version. Changes in mkfontscale: - support for non-AGL Type 1 fonts (e.g. symbol fonts); - support for more Type 1 weights; - smarter handling of non-Unicode fonts. Changes in the FreeType 2 backend: - fixes a crash when adding properties (due to Ishikawa Mutsumi); - support for OpenType/CFF fonts; - support for non-AGL Type 1 fonts; - support for custom Type 1 encodings (``adobe-fontspecific''); - minor fixes to Type 1 metrics (the problem with average width remains); - a number of minor cleanups. I would need people to help me make mkfontscale smarter when working with East-Asian encodings; I think some additions to the definition of CODE_IGNORED are needed to do a decent job with Chinese encodings (Japanese and Korean encodings seem to work with the current heuristics). If you think you're competent to give me a hand with that, please do get in touch.
