Steady State Software Ltd. announces SVGFont, a Java application that generates SVG font definitions from TrueType fonts. It is now available from Steady State Software's SVG home page: http://www.steadystate.com/svg/ SVGFont is built with Steady State Software's TrueType Toolkit, a forthcoming library of Java classes for the development of typography applications. The software is available without charge, and includes all source code. It is distributed under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License. Currently, SVG Fonts are supported by the latest CSIRO SVGToolkit release, available at: http://www.cmis.csiro.au/svg There have been various improvements over the preview release made available at the time of the CSIRO SVGToolkit (July 12th 2000), including: * Fixed bug causing some holes in unicode -> glyph mapping (cmap format 4) * Fixed bug where Glyph objects were being retained, which was consuming vast amounts of memory (esp. with Far Eastern fonts) * Added support for composite glyphs * Added facility to use the Macintosh (ASCII) character map (switch "-ascii") * Fixed Unicode mapping of symbol fonts * Added facility to generate a font preview page (switch "-testcard") * Added file output option (switch "-o <path>") * Fixed bug with range specification Many thanks to Chris Lilley (W3C) and Dean Jackson (CSIRO) for their feedback and assistance.
