No line-breaking, paragraphs, ligature, vertical glyphs, or any type of layout are provided, they would have to be implemented on top of it. The most saliant feature is that you are able to embed a TrueType/OpenType font inside the generated PDF, instead of being restricted to the default fonts of PDF. It includes an OpenType parser, font matching algorithms and a FontRegistry which deals with "finding whatever font are installed". http://code.dlang.org/packages/printed Hello, Pdf is good however please take a look at djvu format (http://djvu.org/) one of the authors is Yann LeCun.
Re: Copy Constructor DIP and implementation
Hi all, I just pushed another version of the DIP in which the major modifications among otthers are removing implicit and use copy constructor calls in all situations where a copy is made. For more details, please visit [1] and if you have the time, please offer some feedback, Thank you, RazvanN [1] https://github.com/dlang/DIPs/pull/129/
