Re: [svg-developers] Converting True Type Fonts (ttf) to SVG fonts
Hi DL, I would suggest getting the SVN version of Batik. There were recently a number of fixes put in for dealing with 'complex' true type fonts. Some of the problems you are describing sound like they may be due to this. Also are you sure that Matematica1 has 'latin' chars? By default ttf2svg just converts the latin1 subset. There is an 'auto-range' feature which causes it to emit all the chars in the font, or you can specify a range to emit. This could also be your problem. svg-developers@yahoogroups.com wrote on 11/16/2005 05:58:55 AM: > I am using Apache Batik utility ttf2svg to convert some fonts into SVG > > Most ttf fonts convert via Batik ttf2svg. > > > But other ttf fonts (such as Mathematica1) do not convert, showing just blank boxes > [ ] in the rendered character testcard.

Thanks for the advice.
Usually, I just download the binary release from Apache site .. but I had a go
and
installed TortoiseSVN client .. then using TortoiseSVN, downloaded the
batik-svn ...
I'm none too sure how to proceed from here ..
i.e. to build batik from this SVN source to compile batik-ttf2svg.jar.
I tried build.bat .. no joy. Any tips on compiling batik from batik-SVN?

Mathematica1 contains mostly maths symbols and some latin characters (A to Z).
The standard windows font symbol.ttf in c:\windows\fonts\ is very similar to
Mathematica1 .. and (in the old version of batik-ttf2svg.jar) this renders the
same
results. Blank boxes. See below.

Any tips on compiling batik from batik-SVN? About all build.bat (assuming you are on windowS) should need is a JDK installed. Do you have a JDK (Java Developers kit)or just a JRE (Java runtime environment)? What happens when you try to run build.bat? > Mathematica1 contains mostly maths symbols and some latin characters (A to Z). > > The standard windows font symbol.ttf in c:\windows\fonts\ is very similar to > Mathematica1 .. and (in the old version of batik-ttf2svg.jar) this renders the same > results. Blank boxes. See below. I'll try and check this when I get a moment. Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
