| madigens | hey ghostscript people, anyone here who deals with the bundled URW fonts? any news regarding their plans to provide higher quality .otf versions? | 14:44.59 |
| HenryStiles | madigens: otf does not mean better quality necessarily. This is our current request to URW: http://twiki.ghostscript.com/do/view/Ghostscript/URWFontWork .. I'd say it's a couple months out. | 15:21.22 |
| madigens | HenryStiles, thanks for that link. What I mean by quality: correct hinting information for OpenType/CFF fonts. the current type1 files have bogus hinting information, e.g. the blue zones not matching the outlines. the result is subpar rendering with Adobe's CFF engine in FreeType. | 16:25.54 |
| | in nimbus sans, e.g. the greek alpha goes above the x-height higher than similar characters. inconsistencies like that. | 16:27.44 |
| | So I'd like to see that added to the list :) my private doctored nimbus sans looks MUCH better on screen. | 16:31.52 |
| HenryStiles | madigens you may add a bug to bugs.ghostscript.com, with a means for URW to reproduce exactly what you have discovered and I'll ask them to look at it. You can cite this irc conversation and to be clear we need step by step instructions to reproduce the problem and solution before forwarding it on. | 17:05.11 |
| | madigens: it's possible otf may address the issue. It could be a bug in the software they use to generate the fonts, but best to have a bug report | 17:07.17 |
| rayjj | I bit the bullet and let MS update my system to Windows 10 (it came with Windows 10 Pro, pre-installed with Win 7 Pro free downgrade. | 18:00.51 |
| | The worst part is the pinch zoom works on the desktop and if I inadvertently zoom in and the icons scale past the edge of the screen, they get rearranged to where ever Windows thinks they should go :-( | 18:03.37 |
| | there is supposed to be a way to turn that off in the touchpad driver, but I don't have that tab on the driver | 18:04.16 |
| madigens | HenryStiles, alright, will do :) | 18:28.55 |
| draeath | Hi, is this an appropriate place to ask about functionality, or mainly development related items? | 23:39.26 |
| | I'm rendering to png16m, and the document in question has a bunch of (worthless, post rendering) internal hyperlinks. I'm trying to find a way to filter/strip those out, but I'm just running around in circles. | 23:41.48 |
