Thanks to all. I asked: >>> And, the incremental downloaded Type42 font object only I know is in >>> PostScript printing data: especially that generated for Distiller. >>> I agree, if FreeType can supporting incremental is good idea, but >>> what application uses it?

Now I think that incrementally-loaded Type42 font driver is almost impossible to utilize without PostScript interpreter. >From the viewpoint of PostScript interpreter maintainer, the current implementation incrementally-loaded Type42 font driver should be improved? There's any expected feature in "future issue" status? Regards, mpsuzuki P.S. I suppose "generating subsetted Type42 font object" is expected by various applications, but it is another issue, and I think it's not task of FreeType library. _______________________________________________ Freetype-devel mailing list Freetype-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-devel
