Re: Sub and super scripts
Manuel Mall a écrit : Vincent, does FOray font expose this type of information Jeremias described below? Not yet. I'll expose the problem on FOray-dev. If you choose to implement this functionality now I suggest you to make things very simple, as Jeremias said. This wouldn't be completely useless anyway: this would help me to adapt FOrayFont thereafter, as I'll easily find where to work in the code!

Re: Sub and super scripts
AFAICS, no, it doesn't do that, yet.

Vincent, does FOray font expose this type of information Jeremias described below? Manuel On Fri, 16 Sep 2005 03:36 pm, Jeremias Maerki wrote: > It's probably easiest for now to do as Batik does.

Re: Sub and super scripts
It's probably easiest for now to do as Batik does. However, Type 1 fonts provide information about sub and super scripts (size and placement) in the PFM file. That data is currently not parsed. I assume there's something similar in TrueType. So ideally, the font would supply the information how exactly to handle super/sub script. But keeping it simple for now will certainly not hurt.
