KDE4.4 |
|
====== |
|
1. Create a dbus daemon for handling font installtion, and have the kcm and ioslave |
|
use this. |
|
2. Use policykit to control installation of system-wide fonts. |
|
3. Merged progress, skip, cancel, and error dialogs used when installing, etc., into |
|
1 dialog. |
|
4. Simplify layout. |
|
5. Remove simple mode - always use font management mode. |
|
6. When multiple fonts are selected, use a list style preview of all selected fonts. |
|
7. Because of the above, remove the in-line previews from the font list. |
|
|
|
KDE4.3 |
|
====== |
|
1. Dont cache previews to disk. |
|
|
|
KDE4.2 |
|
====== |
|
1. Added zoom controls to font preview. |
|
2. Made viewer application a KUniqueApplication |
|
|
|
KDE3.5 -> KDE4.0 |
|
================ |
|
1. Enabling/disabling of fonts. |
|
2. Creation of "Font Groups" |
|
3. Fonts are now grouped via family name, i.e. shown as: |
|
+ Courier [4] |
|
- Times [2] |
|
Regular |
|
Italic |
|
...where the number in brackets indicates the number of styles. Clicking |
|
on the expand icon (+) will then show the list of styles. |
|
4. Add ability in font view part to show unicode tables. |
|
5. Remove all references to Speedo fonts - haven't been supported since |
|
KDE3.3! |
|
6. Only one view - list view. However, each item now has a small preview. |
|
7. Xft is now required. |
|
8. Remove Fontmap creation. |
|
9. Creation of fonts.dir & fonts.scale will be done via mkfontscale and |
|
mkfontdir. |
|
10. Legacy X is only configured for a folder if it already contains a fonts.dir |
|
file. |
|
11. Font installtion is *much* faster - as config files are now updated after |
|
all fonts are installed, as opposed to every 50 fonts. |
|
12. Folders are no longer added to X's config files - because of 10 above. |
|
The only system config file that will be altered is either |
|
/etc/fonts/local.conf or /etc/fonts/conf.d/00kde.conf (dependant upon |
|
your fontconfig version) |
|
13. When installing font files, install into a sub folder named after the 1st |
|
character. e.g. |
|
wibble.ttf -> ~/.fonts/w/wibble.ttf |
|
14. Better unique names when creating font packages. |
|
15. Use zip and not tar.gz for font packages. |
|
16. Allow import of fonts/package. |
|
17. Allow fonts/package to be installed via konqueror service menu. |
|
18. Better TTC handling. |
|
19. When installing to fonts:/, as non-root, automatically install to fonts:/Personal. |
|
To install to fonts:/System need to explicity copy to fonts:/System. |
|
20. Hide kfontview from KMenu - its only required by kcm, and when cliking on a font. |
|
21. Renamed kcmfontinst to just fontinst. |
|
22. When printing, use external kfontprint app - that way newly installed fonts can |
|
also be printed. |
|
23. When run as non-root, the kcontrol module will have a combo box allowing the user |
|
to select Personal or System fonts. |
|
24. Better bitmap font previews - list of sizes obtained via fontconfig. |
|
25. Regular fonts listed as fonts:/<family>, Regular - e.g. fonts:/Times, Regular |
|
26. Use a kio_font_helper app when accesing fonts:/System - much faster, as kdesu is |
|
not required to be called for each action. |
|
27. Add a "Find Duplicates" tool, that looks for multiple installtions of the same font. |
|
i.e. different locations, or the same location but different filename case |
|
(e.g. times.ttf / times.TTF) |
|
|
|
KDE3.4 -> KDE3.5 |
|
================ |
|
1. When copying a file out of fonts sub-system, copy as filename, or <fontname>.fonts.tar.gz |
|
in the case of multiple font files mapped to the same font name. |
|
|
|
e.g. Times New Roman -> times.ttf |
|
Helvetica, Bold Oblique-> Hevetica, Bold Oblique.fonts.tar.gz |
|
Which contains: |
|
75dpi_helvBO10.pcf.gz |
|
75dpi_helvBO12.pcf.gz |
|
100dpi_helvBO10.pcf.gz |
|
100dpi_helvBO12.pcf.gz |
|
...etc |
|
|
|
2. New mimetype: fonts/package - to cater for the above. |
|
3. Add settings to enable/disable configuring fonts for legacy X, and Ghostscript |
|
(X defaults to true, and Ghostscript defaults to false) |
|
4. Show mime-type in detailed view. |
|
5. Simple font sample printing - but only of installed fonts! |
|
6. Add toggle button to control display of bitmap fonts. |
|
|
|
KDE3.3 -> KDE3.4 |
|
================ |
|
1. Font listing comes from fontconfig. This means that fonts will be grouped, i.e. |
|
previously each size of a bitmap font was shown seperately, now only 1 font |
|
will be displayed which represents all sizes. |
|
2. Only fonts, and not folders (except System and Personal), are now shown. |
|
3. Creation of afms from pfa/pfb and a pfm file. |
|
4. Previews are drawn via Xft - previously FreeType was called directly. |
|
5. New font preview look. |
|
6. No longer dependant upon file extension. |
|
7. Check for FPE of "fontconfig" -> if set, then no need to configure X core fonts. |
|
|
|
KDE3.2 -> KDE3.3 |
|
================ |
|
1. List fonts as "Full Name" -> i.e. "Times New Roman". |
|
2. Preview of bitmap fonts. |
|
3. No fontname-title in thumbnails - as fonts:/ lists the fontnames! |
|
4. When copying to fonts:/ (as non-root) only ask for destination if more than 5 seconds |
|
since previously asked. |
|
5. Add a konqueror service menu "Install" |
|
6. Use FreeType2 for reading Type1 - instead of parsing the pfa/pfb header. |
|
7. FamilyName is now the fonts *real* family name - no adding of style information. |
|
8. Add extra style information (which was previously added to FamilyName) into the XLFD. |
|
9. Consider regular weight to be medium (same as mkfontscale). |
|
10. Default to width=normal, weight=medium if not set. |
|
11. Allow change of preview string. |
|
12. Allow zooming in/out of preview. |
|
13. Waterfall font preview. |
|
14. Use font preview part in the KControl module - less code duplication. |
|
15. Include simple fontviwer app - basically just an application wrapper for the viewpart. |
|
|
|
KDE3.1 -> KDE3.2 |
|
================ |
|
1. Re-designed (yet again...) to be a kio slave. As a user, starting fonts:/ will display |
|
|
|
Personal Lists contents of $HOME/.fonts and $KDEHOME/share/fonts (where previous installer installed to) |
|
Fonts are installed to $HOME/.fonts |
|
|
|
System Lists contents of /usr/local/share/fonts, /usr/share/fonts, and /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts |
|
Fonts are installed to /usr/local/share/fonts (as per FHS) |
|
|
|
To install fonts system wide, just drop onto "System" and root's password will be asked |
|
for. |
|
|
|
As root, fonts:/ will show the same as fonts:/System (but without the System part...) |
|
|
|
2. New kcontrol module that uses fonts:/ |
|
3. Removed: |
|
AFM creation -- only really required (TTF wise) for SO <6.0 |
|
StarOffice configuration (S0 6.0 / OO.o is *much* better anyway) |
|
4. X font server (xfs) - if used - is refreshed by sending a SIGUSR1 instead of |
|
relying on a /etc/init.d/xfs script. This is much more portable. |
|
5. Simple FontView part for konqueror - this is basically a big re-sizable preview of the font. |
|
6. Speed up creation of fonts.dir and fonts.scale - by reading in any existing files, and using the |
|
entries from these instead of loading and testing the font (if listed). |
|
7. Better font preview and thumbnails. |
|
8. Only add a dir to fontpath if fonts.dir has greater than 0 entries! |
|
9. Use /etc/fonts/local.conf as root fontconfig file. |
|
10. Only add dirs to fontconfig if *not* a sub-dir of an existing dir. |
|
11. Ensure that top-level fonts dir is always in fontpath. |
|
12. A Fontmap file is created in each sub dir, which is then combined into 1 top level Fontmap file. |
|
~/.fonts/Fontmap for normal users, and /etc/fonts/Fontmap for root. |
|
13. Modify <ghostscript dir><sub-dir>/Fontmap to contain: |
|
(/etc/fonts/Fontmap) .runlibfile |
|
...as this is the system-wide Fontmap file created. As for the per-user, one, hmmm... |
|
14. When a folder is configured, ensure fonts.dir/fonts.scale/Fontmap/.fonts-config-timestamp (SuSE |
|
specific) all have the same timestamp (if they exist). Helps to discover if a folder has been |
|
modified - in which case it needs to be reconfigured (and should happen automatically). |
|
15. Add support for TrueType Collections (.ttc), and OpenType (.otf) fonts. Currently TTC's are only |
|
configured for X - need to also configure GS to see other faces. |
|
16. CID fonts are *not* handled - therefore don't list the X11 CID directory, and don't let users |
|
try to create this. |
|
17. Don't list "encodings" in fonts:/System - and don't allow users to create this. |
|
18. Use XFree86's libfontenc (if found) to read font-encodings. |
|
19. Handle 1bpp glyphs in thumbnail code. |
|
20. Ensure X fontpaths *never* end in "/" - i.e. when write XF86Config, xfs/config, |
|
or fontpaths remove any trailing "/" |
|
21. When adding/removing an unscaled dir from X font path, ensure ":unscaled" is |
|
part of the path! |
|
22. Call fc-cache on top-level dir, not on each dir. |
|
23. Use "~" in Xft config and user X config files -> e.g. /home/user/.fonts -> ~/.fonts |
|
24. Remove top-level dir spec from top-level fontmap, e.g. |
|
|
|
TimesNewRomanPSMT (/home/user/.fonts/wibble/times.ttf); |
|
|
|
...becomes... |
|
|
|
TimesNewRomanPSMT (wibble/times.ttf); |
|
|
|
25. Add meta-data for AFM files to KFile plugin. |
|
|
|
0.11-> KDE3.1 |
|
============= |
|
1. Re-design of UI - removed "Install From" view. |
|
2. Created a KIO/thumbnail font preview class. |
|
3. Fonts are installed/uninstalled on "Apply". |
|
4. Settings are saved on "Apply". |
|
5. Settings tab simplified - some uneccesary settings removed. |
|
6. Removal of Anti-Alias tab - relevant settings moved to kcmfonts. |
|
7. Add kfile-plugin to display Meta data for fonts. |
|
8. Remove settings wizard. |
|
9. Drop use of internal version numbering - not tagging CVS anyway, so whats the point? |
|
10. DCOP interface. |
|
11. Remember size of main window when run via kcmshell. |
|
|
|
0.10->0.11 (KDE3.0) |
|
=================== |
|
1. Port to KDE3/Qt3. |
|
2. Add support for CUPS's Fontmap. |
|
3. Create backups of system files. |
|
4. When install symbol encoding fonts, set encoding to "glyphs-fontspecific" in XftConfig. |
|
5. When install monospaced fonts, set spacing to mono in XftConfig. |
|
6. When first run (as root) - checks XFree86 config file to see if a font server is being used, if |
|
so then fs/config is used as the config file, and "/etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs restart" is selected as |
|
as the X refresh command. |
|
7. Only install fonts that are useable. |
|
8. Add checkbox to enable overwriting of existing AFMs. |
|
9. Remember open directories in advanced mode. |
|
10. Add support for .Z compressed Bitmap fonts. |
|
11. Read Type1 encodings from .afm files if listed as "array" in pfa/pfb. |
|
|
|
0.10b11->0.10 |
|
============= |
|
1. Version added to KDE CVS. |
|
2. Modified some keyboard shortcuts to remove conflicts. |
|
3. Disable "Touch" and "Delete" folder if top-level X fonts dir is selected. |
|
|
|
0.10b10->0.10b11 (Test version...) |
|
================ |
|
1. Removed "root"/"Modify" and "Help" buttons - this gives more space to font lists, plus when using "root"/"Modify" root's |
|
config files are not being saved. |
|
2. "IsFixedPitch" flag in AFMs produced incorrectly - was outputing "false" for monospaced fonts! |
|
3. Added rounding to AFM metric scaling. |
|
4. When creating AFMs, check that each characters' BBox is within the main BBox - this is a quick fix for wingdings.afm, |
|
which seems to be giving incorrect results. |
|
5. StarOffice 6 / OpenOffice only need AFM files for Type1 fonts - plus no config files need to be altered. Therefore, added the ability to |
|
select which font types AFMs should be created for. |
|
6. Output *all* characters from a font into the AFM file. |
|
7. Fixed a bug with Full/Family name in Speedo fonts. |
|
8. For TrueType, Type1, and Speedo fonts - family name is obtained by using the fonts' FullName, remove FamilyName (read from file), remove |
|
any weight, width, or italic designation, and re-add FamilyName. (This is because some fonts are named |
|
<family><weight><italic><something else>, and <something else> was previously being lost). |
|
9. When adding encodings to lists, check that they aren't alredy inserted. |
|
|
|
0.10b9->0.10b10 (Test version...) |
|
=============== |
|
1. Fixed a problem with non-enabled install button in basic mode - again, thanks to Hardy Griech for spotting this. |
|
|
|
0.10b8->0.10b9 (Test version...) |
|
============== |
|
|
|
*** NOTE |
|
*** Please remove any Kfontinst generated StarOffice psstd.fonts and Ghostscript Fontmap output before using this version |
|
|
|
1. StarOffice psstd.fonts generated output is no longer marked line-by line, instead it is marked as a section, e.g. |
|
|
|
# kfontinst <user, if not root> /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType |
|
<fonts...> |
|
# kfontinst <user, if not root> /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType |
|
|
|
...Likewise for Ghostscript's Fontmap |
|
|
|
2. Limited generated StarOffice psstd.fonts lines to 126 characters, and lines longher than this will not be output. It appears |
|
as if this is the max line len StarOffice will accept - thanks to Hardy Griech for discovering this. |
|
3. Fixed a bug where a static pointer was not reset to NULL when module was unloaded. |
|
4. When chekcing ps-fonts, I was looking for the string "%!PS-Adbobe", however the hershey fonts just has "%!FontType" - therefore |
|
I've change the code to just look for "%!" |
|
5. For pcf fonts, look for FAMILY as well as FAMILY_NAME |
|
6. Construct name from xlfd for bitmap fonts where can't get seperate components |
|
|
|
0.10b7->0.10b8 (Test version...) |
|
============== |
|
|
|
*** NOTE |
|
*** Please remove any Kfontinst generated Ghostscript and/or StarOffice output before using this version |
|
|
|
1. Forgot to extract foundry from bitmap fonts - however, changed bitmap Xlfd creation, see below. |
|
2. Extract Xlfd from Bitmap fonts directly - not all fonts have each seperate component available. Thanks to Claudio Bandaloukas |
|
for helping me discover the various bugs with Bitmap output. |
|
3. When displaying bitmap details, if individual entries (family, point size, etc) can't be read, then the |
|
Xlfd will be displayed. |
|
4. Ghostscript & StarOffice include guards changed from "kfontinst" to "kfi" -- this will *require" removing of any previous output! |
|
5. Shortened generated TrueType foundry fields - to help with StarOffice |
|
|
|
0.10b6->0.10b7 (Test version...) |
|
============== |
|
1. Fixed a bug with string-to-width conversion for Type1 and bitmap fonts |
|
2. Fixed some compile bugs if no Xft.h found |
|
3. Remove any fonts.alias when deleting a dir |
|
4. When try to open Type1 or Speedo fonts, check magic numbers - for Speedo check char[0]=='D' or 'd', char[1]==num, char[2]=='.', and char[3]==num |
|
|
|
0.10b5->0.10b6 (Test version...) |
|
============== |
|
1. Fonts with "Normal" weight now installed as "Medium" |
|
2. Added support for "Oblique" in xlfd |
|
3. Check is performed to see if destination is writeable before enabling "Install" button, likewise for the "Remove" button. |
|
|
|
0.10b4->0.10b5 (Test version...) |
|
============== |
|
1. Forgot to reset the made-changes state of XftConfig when saved! |
|
2. Add a validator to math & edit line-edits to disallow usage of double-quotes & tabs |
|
3. Select correct default entries for field-name combos when adding an XftRule. |
|
4. Removed check for number of items in match list, as these are not always required (such as for the sub-pixel hinting |
|
rule.) |
|
5. When setting rgba - use symbolic name - previously always setting to 0! |
|
6. Modified help a little |
|
7. Reduced Advanced mode list-view treeStepSize to 10 pixels (from default of 20), this makes it easier for browsing |
|
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/etc... |
|
8. Fixed bug where could not remove Xft exclude range! |
|
9. Fixed a bug where uninstalled items could cause duplicates in "Install from" list. |
|
10. Renamed the "Configure System" button to "Apply" - this should make the neccessity of the option more obvious. |
|
11. Fixed display of uninstall folder. |
|
12. Added "include" and "includeif" directives from XftConfig to editor. |
|
|
|
0.10b3->0.10b4 (Test version...) |
|
============== |
|
|
|
*** NOTE |
|
*** Please delete your existing ~/.kde/share/config/kfontinstrc -or- ~/.kde2/share/config/kfontinstrc file |
|
*** before using this version |
|
|
|
1. Added support for X font server config files. |
|
2. Show "unscaled" directories in italic. |
|
3. Abilty to set directories as scaled/unscaled. |
|
4. Modified GUI slightly so that it works beter with Liquid style. |
|
5. Added chack to make sure XftConfig file exists before trying to parse. |
|
6. Advanced editing of XftConfig. |
|
7. Added help on XftConfig - from Danny Tholen (obiwan@mailmij.org) |
|
8. Removed some memory leaks |
|
10. Default folders changed for non-root users. KFontinst will now (upon initial start-up) select the following: |
|
|
|
X fonts dir: $KDEHOME/share/fonts |
|
XConfig file: $KDEHOME/share/fonts/fontpaths |
|
XftConfig file: $HOME/.xftconfig |
|
Fontmap file: $KDEHOME/share/fonts/Fontmap |
|
|
|
...This should make it possible for users to install fonts without being root. However, problems may arrise when |
|
configuring StarOffice - as this requires some other files to be modified, which won't be possible if SO has been installed |
|
by root. |
|
|
|
...Also to accomplish this, some changes are needed to 'startkde' - see file README.startkde |
|
|
|
11. Because of the above, when started as non-root, KFontinst will create Type1 and TrueType sub-folders in |
|
$KDEHOME/share/fonts - if they do not already exist. |
|
12. Moved XftConfig stuff from a sub-page of settings tab into its own tab. |
|
13. Added question dialog if module is unloaded before system has been configured. |
|
14. Added ability to "touch" a X font folder - marking it as being modified, so that a re-configure of the that folder |
|
can be done in order to create AFMs, modify encoding, etc. |
|
|
|
0.10b2->0.10b3 (Test version...) |
|
============== |
|
1. When locating Ghostscript's Fontmap file, sub-directories (up to a level of 4) are searched - this allows |
|
for the possiblity of users using a different version of Ghostscript. |
|
2. Create a fonts.scale as well as fonts.dir - just incase another program runs mkfontdir. |
|
3. Fixed an error when creating AFMs for some symbol-encoded fonts. |
|
4. Re-worded SettingsWizard "Folders/Files" tab. |
|
5. Added a checkbox to Ghostscript configuration. |
|
6. Added support for XftConfig. |
|
7. Added/fixed support of Type1 fonts with no FullName or FamilyName fields - such as the hershey fonts. |
|
8. Fixed some bugs when configuring with --enable-final. |
|
9. Basic html help added. |
|
|
|
0.10b1->0.10b2 (Test version...) |
|
============== |
|
1. Minor compile error (struct declared as private, but used elsewhere!) |
|
|
|
0.9.2->0.10b1 (Test version...) |
|
============= |
|
1. Almost a complete re-write, |
|
2. Handles Speedo, and Bitmap fonts |
|
3. fonts.dir & encodings.dir are now created internally - no need for ttmkfdir |
|
4. Re-design of GUI. |
|
5. Advanced mode where X11 folder structure is displayed and all font types may be installed - and a Basic |
|
mode where the X11 folder structure is hidden, and only TrueType and Type1 fonts may be installed. |
|
6. Settings wizard. |
|
7. Application is now a kcontrol module. |
|
8. Complete X11 fonts directory structure is now managed - no need for seperate 'Managed' directory. |
|
9. X11.PS is no longer created, instead the StarOffice printer file (*.PS) is now modified. |
|
10. Ported to FreeType2. |
|
11. Support more encodings - encodings combos now list standard encodings as well as those read from |
|
.enc(.gz) files. |
|
12. Internal AMF creator for Type1 and TrueType fonts - ttf2pt1 and pf2afm.ps are no longer used/supplied. |
|
13. Removed the 'Process AFMs' & 'Delete AFMs' options - all AFMs are created be KFontinst, therefore they |
|
should be OK for StarOffice and AbiWord. |
|
14. If a writable XF86Config file is found - then complete folders may be installed, and folders in the X11 |
|
directory may be uninstalled or disabled (i.e. the folder is not deleted, but it's entry is removed from |
|
the XF86Config file). |
|
15. No longer supply .enc files with KFontinst - they should be provided by the distro. |
|
|
|
0.9.1->0.9.2 |
|
============ |
|
1. Removed a bug where the "Configure System" menu entry was always disabled! |
|
2. Spelling error in Settings dialog. |
|
3. t1lib has problems with some of the fonts supplied with Adobe acrobat - therefore, if t1lib fails to load the |
|
font, then KFontinst itself will try to read the header information (although no preview will be available, |
|
everything else should still work). |
|
4. Fixed multiple installing of programs in other/ directory. For instance KFontinst's version of ttmkfdir |
|
was being installed into $(PREFIX) (usually /usr/bin) as well as $(KDE_DATADIR)/kfontinst - this was incorrect |
|
as KFontinst will only use the version in $(KDE_DATADIR)/kfontinst, and it was possible that a previous version |
|
of ttmkfdir (such as that supplied with XFree86) would have been overwritten. |
|
5. Fixed bug where the user was allowed to select (and subsequently install) fonts which could not be loaded correctly. |
|
6. Added the ability to enter a custom preview string. |
|
|
|
0.9->0.9.1 |
|
========== |
|
1. Fixed a few compile errors. |
|
2. Fix to html formatting error. |
|
3. Fixed a ./configure error if t1lib was not found (the string NO was being used as the |
|
librarary name, instead of an empty string!) |
|
4. Modified the reading of Type1 header information. |
|
|
|
0.8.3->0.9 |
|
========== |
|
1. Converted to KDE2. |
|
2. Rearranged this file! |
|
3. Removed command line interface - KDE2's command line stuff is way different! |
|
4. Re-created dialogs with Qt designer. |
|
5. Removed ProgressDialog, and replaced with a progress bar on a new statusbar. |
|
6. Modified configure script to check for FreeType & t1lib. |
|
7. If an encoding (not unicode) is selected, then the .enc file is copied to the X11 fonts directory. |
|
8. As with the .enc files, the StarOffice .xpp files are also copied, and no longer just sym linked. |
|
9. Removed enabling/disabing of Configure System button. |
|
10. Fontmap.X11 is no longer created, instead the real Fontmap file itself is modified. |
|
|
|
0.8.2->0.8.3 |
|
============ |
|
1. Modified 'kfontinst.kdelnk' so that kdesu is now used - so that a user will automatically be prompted |
|
for the root password. |
|
2. Modified dialogs to use the KDE caption ("Font Installer") instead of the app name ("kfontinst") |
|
3. Corrected size of Configure dialog. |
|
4. Fixed a minor bug where if all fonts were uninstalled, the 'Configure System' button was disabled - therefore not |
|
allowing you to activate the changes! |
|
5. Added a command line interface. (type 'kfontinst --help' for details) |
|
6. Added option to automatically fix TTF postscript names upon install. |
|
|
|
0.8.1->0.8.2 |
|
============ |
|
1. Fixed a bug which always had SO configuration disabled! |
|
2. Fixed a bug when selecting Unicode encoding. |
|
3. Changed "Fonts/Uninstalled" menu entry to "Fonts/Disk" |
|
4. Added keyboard short-cuts to dialogs |
|
|
|
0.8->0.8.1 |
|
========== |
|
1. Fixed a bug where X configuration would fail if no TT fonts present. |
|
2. If no fonts are installed, then the system configuration button/menu-entry is now disabled. |
|
3. Changed menu structure to add 'Fonts' menu. |
|
|
|
0.7.4->0.8 |
|
========== |
|
1. Changed location of StarOffice stuf from <dir on settings dialog>/xp3 to just |
|
<dir on settings dialog> -- As StarOffice 5.2 has 'xp3' within a 'share' sub-dir. |
|
2. Changed structure of config file to be more modular. |
|
3. Modified internal code structure to allow easier additon of extra apps to be configured. (NOTE: If any |
|
apps need to be configured, then I'll also [later on] modify the Settings & Configure dialogs to |
|
accomodate these.) |
|
4. Because of 3, added a 'StarOffice' check to the settings dialog. If this is not seleted, then no check |
|
is performed to make sure the SO dir is OK - and the option to config SO is diabled on the config dialog. |
|
5. Added check when installing font to make sure that it's not already installed. |
|
|
|
0.7.3->0.7.4 |
|
============ |
|
1. Changed location of Fontmap.X11 -- from <directory on settings dialog>/lib/Fontmap.X11 to |
|
<directory on settings dialog>/Fontmap.X11. As it seems some ghostscript installations don't |
|
have the 'lib' sub directory. |
|
2. Improved the documentation a little - added a FAQ section |
|
|
|
0.7.2->0.7.3 |
|
============ |
|
1. Very minor bug fix. |
|
|
|
0.7.1->0.7.2 |
|
============ |
|
1. Added more detailed error messages when system configuration fails. |
|
|
|
0.7->0.7.1 |
|
========== |
|
1. Removed lots of debug info from ttf2pt1, and afm.pl -- this should drastically speed up afm creation. |
|
2. Modified ttf2pt1 to accept a parameter to just create .afm files |
|
3. Added option to modify a .afm file when installing. |
|
4. Added "Unicode" to list of encodings that can be used. |
|
5. Removed kfontinst-cp1252.enc, kfontinst-cp1252.xpp -- these were hacks anyway, and seing as Qt2 is going to |
|
support cp1252 by a hard-coded codec, there's no real point... |
|
6. Rearranged the Configure System dialog - so that Force AFM regeneration is grouped next to the Generate AFMs option. |
|
7. Encoding files now stored in <KDEDIR>/share/apps/kfontinst/Encodings |
|
|
|
0.6.1->0.7 |
|
========== |
|
1. Modified ttmkfdir & ttf2pt1 to allow usage of X11 style font re-encoding files. |
|
2. Because .enc files are now used by kfontinst, removed the possibility of using gzipped encodings. |
|
3. Added the ability to delete an installed font's .afm file. |
|
4. Fixed a bug in the TtfPsNameFixer class - this would cause ttf2pt1 to creash when accessing a modified font! |
|
5. Font encodings are now stored in <KDEDir>/share/x11encodings |
|
6. Removed the reencode shell script, as the encodng is all done by ttmkfdir. |
|
7. Removed xfinst shell script - handled internally. |
|
8. Supplied a kfontinst-cp1252 encoding - with the ugly single-quotes normaly found in .ttf files remapped to |
|
the nice looking ones. |
|
9. Added functionality, when configuring StarOffice, to select an appropriate xprinter.prolog for the selected |
|
encoding (if one exists)... |
|
|
|
0.6->0.6.1 |
|
========== |
|
1. Fixed a display bug in the 'Un/Exclude from StarOffice" options. |
|
|
|
0.5->0.6 |
|
======== |
|
1. Added the ability to 'fix' the postscript names in a ttf file. |
|
2. Fixed some missing changes to help files. |
|
|
|
0.4->0.5 |
|
======== |
|
1. Discovered a patch that modifies StarOffice's xprinter.prolog so that font's don't need to be modified |
|
to use the microsoft cp1252 enocding scheme. (Previosuly the PS output from StarOffice would not print |
|
OK with ghostscript - when using extra characters - unless the .ttf file was modified.) |
|
2. Because of 1, removed the abilty to modify a TrueType font's internal charactermap - this was a hack anyway. |
|
3. xfinst now uses mkfontdir to create encodings.dir - instead of kfontinst's install procedure copying a standard |
|
one in (this didn't actually work...) |
|
4. As kfontinst no longer reads the .enc files themselves, added the ability to use .enc.gz files as well |
|
when selecting an encoding for X. |
|
5. Re-wrote xfinst & reencode to be plain 'sh' scripts, as opposed to 'tcsh' scripts. |
|
|
|
0.3->0.4 |
|
======== |
|
1. All X fonts will now be placed with in a directory - "Managed" - this makes things easier for |
|
AbiWord, and maybe others. |
|
2. encodings.dir & Encodings/ will now be placed within this new "Managed" dir. |
|
3. Only 1 StarOffice .PS file will be created - X11.PS |
|
4. Only 1 Fontmap will be created - Fontmap.X11 - and this will be placed within |
|
<Ghostscript>/lib |
|
5. Because of 4, an option has been added to the Settings dialog to specify the location of |
|
Ghostscript. |
|
6. Because of 1, removed the font option from the Configure dialog. |
|
7. Fixed an error with getting PS name from TT font - PS names are not allowed to have spaces, but in |
|
fences.ttf it does. FontEngine.cpp will now check for, and fix, this - using the same 'algorithm' as that |
|
of ttf2pt1 (which means the names will tie up with those in the .afm files). |
|
8. Added some improvements to control of dialogs. |
|
|
|
0.2.1->0.3 |
|
========== |
|
1. Reverted back to naming .afm files <fontname>.afm - and renaming any conflicting fonts. |
|
2. Speeded up copying of files - by copying preview bitmap as opposed to regenerating it! |
|
3. Removed need for FontMetrics directory - .afm files now placed within TrueType or Type1 dir, |
|
and sym links are produced for StarOffice. |
|
|
|
1. & 3. should now make things easier for AbiWord. |
|
|
|
4. Fixed output of Fontmap so that "URW Gothic" will be aliased as "UrwGothic-Roman" (etc.) as |
|
this is what Qt will output. |
|
5. Added more processing of .afm files - this makes them OK for AbiWord. |
|
|
|
0.2->0.2.1 |
|
========== |
|
1. Modified start-up progress dailog, and added progress dialogs to main window when scanning |
|
fonts. These will only appear if numTTfonts>X || numT1fonts>Y |
|
|
|
0.1->0.2 |
|
======== |
|
1. Combined views of installed TrueType and Type1 fonts into 1 list. |
|
2. When uninstalling a font, can now move the font to another directory - or delete. |
|
3. Used t1lib so that Type1 fonts can also be previewed. |
|
4. Changed Fontmap creator to dynamically allocate memory for each font-category. |
|
5. .afm files are now named as <fontname>.<fontextension>.afm - this removes the need |
|
for renaming the .afm file if there exists Type1 and TrueType fonts with the same |
|
fontname. |
|
6. Removed the re-scanning of the install directories whenever a font is added. |
|
7. Added support for extra Type1 font weights. |
|
8. Added a start-up screen to inform the user that the installed/disk fonts are being scanned. |
|
9. When exiting, confirmation is now only asked if the system has been changed and not |
|
reconfigured.
