This file contains a list of various font formats. It gives the |
||||
reference document and whether it is supported in FreeType 2. |
||||
|
||||
|
||||
file type: |
||||
The only special case is `MAC'; on older Mac OS versions, a `file' |
||||
is stored as a data and a resource fork, this is, within two |
||||
separate data chunks. In all other cases, the font data is stored |
||||
in a single file. |
||||
|
||||
wrapper format: |
||||
The format used to represent the font data. In the table below it |
||||
is used only if the font format differs. Possible values are |
||||
`SFNT' (binary), `PS' (a text header, followed by binary or text |
||||
data), and `LZW' (compressed with either `gzip' or `compress'). |
||||
|
||||
font format: |
||||
How the font is to be accessed, possibly after converting the file |
||||
type and wrapper format into a generic form. Bitmap formats are |
||||
`BDF', `PCF', and one form of `WINFNT'; all others are vector |
||||
formats. |
||||
|
||||
font type: |
||||
Sub-formats of the font format. `SBIT' and `MACSBIT' are bitmap |
||||
formats, `MM' and `VAR' support optical axes. |
||||
|
||||
glyph access: |
||||
If not specified, the glyph access is `standard' to the font |
||||
format. Values are `CID' for CID-keyed fonts, `SYNTHETIC' for |
||||
fonts which are modified versions of other fonts by means of a |
||||
transformation matrix, `COLLECTION' for collecting multiple fonts |
||||
(sharing most of the data) into a single file, and `TYPE_0' for PS |
||||
fonts which are to be accessed in a tree-like structure. |
||||
|
||||
FreeType driver: |
||||
The module in the FreeType library which handles the specific font |
||||
format. A missing entry means that FreeType doesn't support the |
||||
font format (yet). |
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Please send additions and/or corrections to wl@gnu.org or to the |
||||
FreeType developer's list at devel@freetype (for subscribers only). If |
||||
you can provide a font example for a format which isn't supported yet |
||||
please send a mail too. |

[1] Support should be rather simple since this is identical to `CFF' |

but in a PS wrapper. |
