| tor8 | robin_watts: have you got the iphone/ios project files for mupdf around? I seem to have misplaced mine. | 12:24.11 |
| Robin_Watts | Not sure I ever had it :( | 12:25.19 |
| | What would it have been called? | 12:26.08 |
| tor8 | mupdf-iphone or mupdf-ios | 12:26.24 |
| | no worries, it's probably bitrotted enough that I'll need to start over from scratch anyway | 12:26.39 |
| Robin_Watts | No, sorry | 12:27.25 |
| tor8 | marcos might still have it, if henry wants to get up and running for the tradeshow | 12:29.37 |
| | s/get up/get it up/ | 12:29.48 |
| Robin_Watts | I received an invoice for customs duty this morning, for a parcel delivered from "Hanry Stiles" to "Hook Norten". | 12:33.39 |
| | Now, spelling my village wrong, I can kind of understand, but how hard is "Henry" ? | 12:34.00 |
| | tor: for (i=0; i < fz_array_len(annots); i++) is bad. | 12:41.56 |
| tor8 | Robin_Watts: s/bad/lazy and slow/ | 12:44.56 |
| setmeaway | Hello, i want to replace {type42,type2}.dev which is required to pdf.dev to fapi.dev. is there any precautions about it ? | 12:46.25 |
| chrisl | setmeaway: you can't, both those .devs are still needed when FAPI is used. | 12:48.00 |
| setmeaway | i thought it is possible hence gs_fapi.gs hooks existing buildfont* to fapi. | 12:48.59 |
| kens | If you're not using FreeType, then you need to use something else. The old GS font code is deprectaed | 12:49.38 |
| setmeaway | oh gs repository includes freetype already. so i would be happy about it. | 12:50.13 |
| kens | teh repository includes FreeType because GS uses it. | 12:50.34 |
| chrisl | setmeaway: Freetype is used for rendering glyphs, but we still need some built-in *font* interpretation in order to pass information back to the Postscript world. | 12:51.08 |
| setmeaway | oh my, how i can teach fapi to emit builtin font interpretation? | 12:52.38 |
| chrisl | I don't understand | 12:53.05 |
| kens | Me neither, what is it you want to do ? | 12:53.16 |
| setmeaway | in short, let the pdf.dev obsolete {type42,type2}.dev and use fapi.dev | 12:54.05 |
| kens | That doesn't make sense | 12:54.19 |
| | Why do you want to do that ? | 12:54.39 |
| setmeaway | type42 lacks of truetype font-hinting | 12:54.55 |
| kens | And isn't used by the Ghostscritp PDF interpreter | 12:55.08 |
| | So what is the problem ? | 12:55.22 |
| chrisl | setmeaway: what version of Ghostscript are you working with? | 12:55.42 |
| setmeaway | i think it is used if you rasterize pdf document. | 12:55.42 |
| | chrisl it's 9.03 | 12:55.58 |
| kens | So the default for TrueType is to use FreeTtype to render | 12:56.09 |
| chrisl | setmeaway: then Ghostscrcipt is using Freetype to render your glyphs already | 12:56.18 |
| | Oh, and you should use 9.04 | 12:57.05 |
| setmeaway | kens does it use freetype in cases of embedded truetype(type42)? | 12:57.45 |
| kens | yes | 12:57.52 |
| setmeaway | it worked. thank you | 14:05.17 |
| kens | What wortked ? <puzzled>... | 14:05.41 |
| setmeaway | i have question again, i want to produce svg from pdf. but it says it doesn't find font http://pastebin.com/6ZJJvu1x | 14:49.46 |
| kens | The SVG output module is pretty limited, and not being worked on, I wouldn't trust it at all. | 14:50.11 |
| | Does your PDF file have the font embedded ? | 14:50.48 |
| setmeaway | and you can see it tries to find font in strange sense like (/cygdrive/c/windows/fonts/CIDFont/HYGoThic-Medium) | 14:50.52 |
| | yes embedded | 14:50.57 |
| | wait | 14:51.06 |
| kens | You are using Cygwin ? Not a supported environment really. | 14:51.16 |
| setmeaway | does it work if pdf file has embedded font file? | 14:51.55 |
| kens | It *should* work both ways, and I only see a warning, not an error | 14:52.12 |
| | Wait, the error is further down | 14:52.25 |
| setmeaway | i think google calendar doesn't seem embed fonts | 14:52.25 |
| kens | If the font isn't embedded then it should be substituted by one of the shipped fonts. | 14:52.44 |
| | Have you tried a different device ? I woudl suggest the diusplay device or pdfwrite. | 14:53.07 |
| | display | 14:53.12 |
| setmeaway | kens i didn't try. | 14:53.41 |
| | oh yes | 14:54.10 |
| | it works if pdf has embedded font | 14:54.19 |
| | but sigsegvs lol | 14:54.24 |
| kens | Well that's hardly working.... | 14:54.40 |
| | I would try one of the other devices to see if its a problem with GS, the way you are running it, or the SVG device. | 14:55.01 |
| setmeaway | pdfwrite works great. | 14:55.20 |
| kens | I would suspect its the SVG device, but it could be the way you are using GS (ie under Cygwin) | 14:55.21 |
| | Then its probably teh SVG device. | 14:55.31 |
| | I can't say I'm surprised, teh device is barely functional and is not being developed further at this time. | 14:55.52 |
| setmeaway | kens yes i see. i would post bug as soon as possible | 14:56.27 |
| kens | You may do so, but I doubt we will do anything with it. | 14:56.45 |
| | (I could be wrong) | 14:56.52 |
| Robin_Watts | Morning henrys. How's the show ? | 15:16.22 |
| kens | is assuming no IRC meeting today ? | 15:16.36 |
| henrys | you guys can have one I wasn't planning on it. | 15:18.14 |
| kens | I thought we needn't since we just had a face-to-face :-) | 15:18.32 |
| henrys | day 3! | 15:20.21 |
| kens | Nearly there :-) | 15:20.33 |
| setmeaway | do i need to clone git repository if i wanted to fetch latest trunk? | 15:39.09 |
| kens | Yes | 15:39.15 |
| setmeaway | kens ;) thanks | 15:39.25 |
| kens | No problem | 15:39.46 |
| Robin_Watts | You can grab a snapshot from git.ghostscript.com on the web. but having a cloned repo is more useful. | 15:40.04 |
| kens | Night all | 16:15.37 |
| chrisl | 'night kens | 16:15.48 |
| Robin_Watts | night | 16:15.56 |
| | ghostbot: night all is Night, $who | Have a good one, $who | 16:18.18 |
| ghostbot | okay, Robin_Watts | 16:18.18 |
| Robin_Watts | ghostbot: ask a question is Don't ask to ask, just ask :) | 16:23.17 |
| ghostbot | ...but ask a question is already something else... | 16:23.17 |
| Robin_Watts | ask a question | 16:23.27 |
| | ask a question? | 16:23.32 |
| ghostbot | Don't ask to ask, just ask. | 16:23.32 |
| Robin_Watts | the right place is This is the right place to ask about Ghostscript and/or mupdf problems. If one of the developers doesn't answer immediately, wait for a bit (we work in many timezones), or come back later and reask. | 16:25.38 |
| | ghostbot: the right place is This is the right place to ask about Ghostscript and/or mupdf problems. If one of the developers doesn't answer immediately, wait for a bit (we work in many timezones), or come back later and reask. | 16:25.57 |
| ghostbot | Robin_Watts: okay | 16:25.57 |
| marcosw_ | is this the right place to ask a question? | 17:09.03 |
| Robin_Watts | ghostbot: \is this the right place to ask a question is This is the right place to ask about Ghostscript and/or mupdf problems. If one of the developers doesn't answer immediately, wait for a bit (we work in many timezones), or come back later and reask. | 17:10.57 |
| ghostbot | Robin_Watts: that's too long | 17:10.57 |
| Robin_Watts | gah. | 17:11.05 |
| | tor8: You here ? | 18:32.49 |
| tor8 | Robin_Watts: yes | 18:50.15 |
| Robin_Watts | I had a question, but I've answered it, never mind. Thanks anyway. | 18:51.43 |
| tor8 | okay :) | 18:51.50 |
| Robin_Watts | tor8: Is it reasonable to assume, that in any future multithreaded version of mupdf, only one thread will be ever access the underlying pdf file? | 19:22.40 |
| | (not just one at a time, but really, all the access happens in one specified thread) | 19:26.19 |
| | Or, perhaps easier to comprehend; will the xref only ever be used from a single thread? | 19:43.49 |
| tor8 | Robin_Watts: yes, I think that's a safe assumption | 22:19.08 |
| Robin_Watts | tor3: OK, that makes stuff a bit easier. | 23:09.55 |
