Dear Reader... No More Accent is an accent reduction product, which helps to remove accents. For example, an Asian lady (or any nationality) may have communication problems with her English when speaking to her friends or business colleagues. With that in mind, No More Accent teaches Accent Red

[Fonts] Encodings XLFDs within sfnt

2003-07-09 Thread Juliusz Chroboczek
In order to preserve bitmap font names as we switch to sfnt for XFree86, I need to have fonttosfnt put the original font name in some place where mkfontscale can find it. The proper way would be to formally define a new sfnt table, for example ``XF86''. However, I think it is simpler and quite as

[Fonts] Bitmap-only SFNTs: initial code in CVS

[Fonts] Choosing an extension for bitmap-only SFNTs

2003-07-09 Thread Juliusz Chroboczek
I need to pick an extension for the bitmap-only SFNT fonts[1]. While these fonts use the same file format as TrueType and OpenType fonts, they do not fullfill the requirements of any of the four (!) TrueType specifications. Apple calls them ``sfnt-wrapped bitmap fonts'', pfaedit calls them ``bitm
