|
| + FreeType font driver for BDF fonts

|
| +Introduction
|
| +************
|
| +
|
| +BDF (Bitmap Distribution Format) is a bitmap font format defined by Adobe,
|
| +which is intended to be easily understood by both humans and computers.
|
| +This code implements a BDF driver for the FreeType library, following the
|
| +Adobe Specification V 2.2. The specification of the BDF font format is
|
| +available from Adobe's web site:
|
| +
|
| + http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/font/5005.BDF_Spec.pdf
|
| +
|
| +Many good bitmap fonts in bdf format come with XFree86 (www.XFree86.org).
|
| +They do not define vertical metrics, because the X Consortium BDF
|
| +specification has removed them.
|
| +
|
| +
|
| +Encodings
|
| +*********
|
| +
|
| +The variety of encodings that accompanies bdf fonts appears to encompass the
|
| +small set defined in freetype.h. On the other hand, two properties that
|
| +specify encoding and registry are usually defined in bdf fonts.
|
| +
|
| +I decided to make these two properties directly accessible, leaving to the
|
| +client application the work of interpreting them. For instance:
|
| +
|
| +
|
| + #include FT_INTERNAL_BDF_TYPES_H
|
| +
|
| + FT_Face face;
|
| + BDF_Public_Face bdfface;
|
| +
|
| +
|
| + FT_New_Face( library, ..., &face );
|
| +
|
| + bdfface = (BDF_Public_Face)face;
|
| +
|
| + if ( ( bdfface->charset_registry == "ISO10646" ) &&
|
| + ( bdfface->charset_encoding == "1" ) )
|
| + [..]
|
| +
|
| +
|
| +Thus the driver always exports `ft_encoding_none' as face->charmap.encoding.
|
| +FT_Get_Char_Index's behavior is unmodified, that is, it converts the ULong
|
| +value given as argument into the corresponding glyph number.
|
| +
|
| +If the two properties are not available, Adobe Standard Encoding should be
|
| +assumed.
|
| +
|
| +
|
| +Anti-Aliased Bitmaps
|
| +********************
|
| +
|
| +The driver supports an extension to the BDF format as used in Mark Leisher's
|
| +xmbdfed bitmap font editor. Microsoft's SBIT tool expects bitmap fonts in
|
| +that format for adding anti-aliased them to TrueType fonts. It introduces a
|
| +fourth field to the `SIZE' keyword which gives the bpp value (bits per
|
| +pixel) of the glyph data in the font. Possible values are 1 (the default),
|
| +2 (four gray levels), 4 (16 gray levels), and 8 (256 gray levels). The
|
| +driver returns either a bitmap with 1 bit per pixel or a pixmap with 8bits
|
| +per pixel (using 4, 16, and 256 gray levels, respectively).
|
| +
|
| +
|
| +Known problems
|
| +**************
|
| +
|
| +- A font is entirely loaded into memory. Obviously, this is not the Right
|
| + Thing(TM). If you have big fonts I suggest you convert them into PCF
|
| + format (using the bdftopcf utility): the PCF font drive of FreeType can
|
| + perform incremental glyph loading.
|
| +
|
| +When I have some time, I will implement on-demand glyph parsing.
|
| +
|
| +- Except for encodings properties, client applications have no visibility of
|
| + the PCF_Face object. This means that applications cannot directly access
|
| + font tables and must trust FreeType.
|
| +
|
| +- Currently, glyph names are ignored.
|
| +
|
| + I plan to give full visibility of the BDF_Face object in an upcoming
|
| + revision of the driver, thus implementing also glyph names.
|
| +
|
| +- As I have never seen a BDF font that defines vertical metrics, vertical
|
| + metrics are (parsed and) discarded. If you own a BDF font that defines
|
| + vertical metrics, please let me know (I will implement them in 5-10
|
| + minutes).

|
| +This driver is based on excellent Mark Leisher's bdf library. If you
|
| +find something good in this driver you should probably thank him, not
