parse_AFM
software which was made freely available
by Adobe. This is used to parse the AFM files (what
a surprise) and to generate the data structures the information is
saved in.
Raph Levien (raph@acm.org
) contributed an algorithm for
sampling down non-antialiased bitmaps to antialiased bitmaps in a very
efficient manor. This makes antialiasing a lot faster.
Fred L. Drake, Jr. (fdrake@acm.org
) wrote a Python interface to
t1lib, which is distributed with t1lib. This wrapper is called
t1python
and allows Python-programmers to use Type 1 fonts. I
can not tell anything more on this topic since I do not know the
Python language. All questions concerning the Python interface should
thus be addressed to Fred L. Drake, Jr.
Evgeny Stambulchik (fnevgeny@plasma-gate.weizmann.ac.il
), maintainer of
the grace
-project--a descendent of xmgr
, never gets tired of
finding and reporting (and fixing) bugs in t1lib. Other members of this
project spent time in porting t1lib to further systems:
vigmonde@IGB.UMontreal.CA
): IRIX-port,
John.Hasstedt@sunysb.edu
): VMS-port,
st002279@hrzpub.tu-darmstadt.de
): OS/2-port.
Hirotsugo Kakugawa (h.kakugawa@computer.org
) added support for GNU
libtool
to t1lib.
David Huggins-Daines (bn711@freenet.carleton.ca
) spent effort in
finding memory leaks and maintains a Debian-package of t1lib.
