[ft-devel] Glyph metrics figures on the website

2012-10-26 Thread Nicolas Rougier 


Hi,

I just added an example in the freetype-py (python bindings) to reproduce glyph 
metrics as displayed on the website.

You can see results at: http://webloria.loria.fr/~rougier/tmp/glyph-metrics.pdf

(sources: 
http://code.google.com/p/freetype-py/source/browse/trunk/examples/glyph-metrics.py)


Since images on http://www.freetype.org/freetype2/docs/tutorial/step2.html are 
a bit ugly (IMHO), maybe it could be a good idea to replace them. What do you 
think ?

   . If possible, please replace Computer Modern with another font
 and double its size so that everything stays readable if I scale
 down the image.

BTW, I've just seen that on CTAN the new package

  tex-gyre-math

is available, providing math support for Pagella and Thermes (this is,
Palatino and Times).

Here are the two files.
I replaced the CM font with the STIX one (most easy with matplotlib).
(not so sure how to use the ones you suggested with matplotlib).

The 'g' comes from the Bitstream Vera Sans if the information is needed.


Of course, a better solution could be to use pgf/tikz but I did not find how to 
access all the glyph information.

 Very nice!

 An excellent idea, and thanks for the offer!  However, I ask you to
 slightly improve the image:
 
  . If possible, please replace Computer Modern with another font and
double its size so that everything stays readable if I scale down
the image.
 
  . Please add some margins to the image.
 
  . Please increase the line thickness of the coordinate axis.
 
  . What do you think of providing two images instead of one?
