hi there, I am working on providing a pure-Go TeX engine. to achieve such a thing, I'd need to be able to decode and use the so-called "PacKed font file" format (PK fonts). (I know it's a very old & deprecated file format, but I figured it would be easier on me to start "old tech" first)
I think I managed to properly decode it, and managed to extract the bitmap data of each glyph: - https://play.golang.org/p/dA8cev_x4TQ the program above displays the bitmap data extracted for glyph 'a': $> go run ./main.go ...........********................... ........**************................ ......*****.......******.............. .....***............*****............. ....*****............******........... ...*******............******.......... ...********...........******.......... ...********............******......... ...********............******......... ...********.............******........ ....******..............******........ .....****...............******........ ........................******........ ........................******........ ........................******........ ........................******........ .................*************........ .............*****************........ ..........*********.....******........ ........*******.........******........ ......*******...........******........ ....********............******........ ...*******..............******........ ..********..............******........ .********...............******........ .*******................******........ .*******................******......** *******.................******......** *******.................******......** *******.................******......** *******................*******......** *******................*******......** ********..............********......** .*******.............***.*****......** .********............**...*****....**. ..********.........****...*****....**. ....*******......****......*********.. ......**************........*******... .........********............*****.... now, the question is: how should I packaged that data so that I can interoperate best with, say, golang.org/x/image/font ? would I just use a golang.org/x/image/font/basicfont.Face ? cheers, -s -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
