sebras Robin_Watts: thanks for the tip about blame -w... those whitespace patches have always annoyed me.01:03.22 
Robin_Watts sebras: I missed you earlier...01:05.47 
  One idea is to expose the C interface as much as possible in java.01:06.13 
  It's a moderate amount of work, and it's android only, but it would be very useful to java programmers.01:06.33 
sebras but only the parts in external.h I guess?01:07.32 
  as usual.01:07.46 
  Robin_Watts: are there customers asking for this, or is this more to cater for small-time app devs who just want a PDFView object in their app?01:08.42 
Robin_Watts sebras: It's not customer driven at this stage.01:09.01 
  I reckon that potential users of the library fall into 3 categories.01:09.41 
  1) Those that want to farm out to an external PDF viewer. That's what our demo is now.01:09.59 
sebras right.01:10.06 
Robin_Watts 2) Those that want a 'PDFView' - a viewer embedded in their own app, but basically they want it potted so they don't need to code much.01:10.29 
sebras potted?01:10.45 
  as in plants?01:11.03 
Robin_Watts potted. All nicely wrapped up.01:11.03 
sebras right.01:11.06 
Robin_Watts 3) Those that want to do more complex things, like move pages about, add annotations etc.01:11.14 
  For them, they probably want most of the library, but accessable through java.01:11.35 
sebras are there devs that want to do 3) in android today?01:11.36 
Robin_Watts I suspect so, but we have no customer requests for it as yet.01:11.54 
sebras I have always assumed that those were non-android, but maybe I'm wrong.01:12.01 
Robin_Watts I suspect it's one of those "if you build it, they will come" things, but that's just supposition.01:12.17 
sebras re-ordering pages is luckily rather simple.01:13.13 
Robin_Watts but... bedtime for me.01:13.17 
sebras adding annotations is not.01:13.26 
Robin_Watts sebras: Yeah, also having the library as java it means people can implement their own funky viewers etc.01:13.45 
  2 up, etc.01:13.55 
sebras ok. then I _really_ ought to go to bed, since you are +00 and I'm +01...01:14.03 
  right.01:14.05 
  oki, see you tomorrow then!01:14.14 
Robin_Watts night01:17.32 
JakeSays would anybody happen to know how to convert an embedded ttf font in to a webfont?22:33.06
