[Issue 43029] support PS-OpenType/OTF/(SFNT with CFF) fonts for PDF export and printing

I looked into this when I wrote the CFF subsetting but never got around to actually writing any code. Preserving the hinting in PDF was the priority while subsetting CFF to Type 1 for PS was in the "nice to have" category. > The full-CFF to subset-CFF conversion used in cairo's PDF export is > very nice indeed.

I am interested in seeing free software have full support for OTF/CFF fonts. The only dependencies I am aware of are cairo-array.c and cairo-hash.c. Of course it would also be nice for cairo to receive any bug fixes and enhancements you make to the code. I have been thinking about whether adding API to cairo to expose the font subsetting code would be useful. I don't know if anything like that would be useful to you. However breaking out whatever you need is probably the easiest solution. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

[Issue 43029] support PS-OpenType/OTF/(SFNT with CFF) fonts for PDF export and printing

by nmailhot＠openoffice.org

To comment on the following update, log in, then open the issue: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=43029 ------- Additional comments from nmailhot(a)openoffice.org Mon Apr 14 13:18:11 +0000 2008 ------- hdu> @nmailhot: Fedora is replacing its Type1 fonts by their CFF-OTF counterparts? hdu> That is very interesting and changes the priority of the feature request. It's not a project goal but has been happening de facto lately. Active font projects use TTF or OTF format. In fact except for projects that specifically target OO.o on Linux, OTF is the default format for new fonts, because it's the default in font creation tools (both open and closed). Therefore the number of shipped OTF fonts grows. OTF works well in every major Linux GUI app but OO.o. At the same time if a font still uses the Type1 format, that's because no one is working on it. Therefore any new problem report (technical or legal) can lead to the conclusion there's no one to fix it. Since Fedora does not ship unmaintained material, the direct result is that the font gets pulled. Unlike a few years ago we have alternatives font-side, so problematic Type1 fonts (such as the ones that used to be bundled with Xorg) are not tolerated anymore. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

To comment on the following update, log in, then open the issue: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=43029 ------- Additional comments from hdu(a)openoffice.org Mon Apr 14 09:29:11 +0000 2008 ------- @nmailhot: Fedora is replacing its Type1 fonts by their CFF-OTF counterparts? That is very interesting and changes the priority of the feature request. @adrianjohnson: good to see you here. Welcome! I had a closer look at the PS export and especially its font handling. For CFF fonts the fallback method seems to be used: The glyph outlines get wrapped into a Type1, but hints are lost. Of course hints in Type1 fonts are not as important as for TTFs, but since the conversion between CFF and Type1 can be done without any loss, I was hoping for that. I already have some code that does that, but it is not reliable enough yet. If we need a quick solution the fallback to outlines seems to be a reasonable alternative though. On the other hand experts advocating CFF outlines over TTF outlines seem to be extremely sensitive about this topic. The full-CFF to subset-CFF conversion used in cairo's PDF export is very nice indeed. Thanks for the pointer! We'll need CFF-subsetting on Windows too, but don't have any use for other parts of cairo on that platform yet. There are not too many deep dependencies into cairo's infrastructure, so if breaking this part out is technically feasible I'd like to do it, if you agree. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
