Subject: [9fans] Font behaviour
Date: Wed, 6 Feb 2002 03:39:14 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3C600AB2.128AC713@acm.org> (raw)
I've been creating a range of fonts via a truetype to font(6) bitmap
generator I wrote.
One thing I noticed was that when trying to render characters possessing
a zero width escapement value, they were transmogrified into PJW. This
is really annoying because some glyphs, Thai vowels and tones for
instance, are intentionally designed to have zero width escapement
vectors for ease of placement.
Investigation of loadchar() in libdraw/font.c (image/font.c under
Inferno) reveals that indeed a test is made to check for zero width
characters. Is there a reason why this test can't be removed?
