Font Industry 0.0.8 (Default branch)

Image Font Industry (字体工业) makes big charset font creation easier. The program converts a scanned in grid sheet, containing a lot of glyphs, into a bitmap font. The glyphs will be automatically indexed by Unicode or with a user-selected charset order. The bitmap font can then be converted to an outline font like TTF or OpenType font. License: GNU General Public License v3 Changes:
Invalid encoding for Unicode is handled. Conversion to UTF-8 is done before saving the pathname for non-latin1 pathnames. A mouse problem for large images was fixed. Both RGB (JPEG) and RGBA images are handled. A font is generated using the UnicodeFull? encoding. A function to set a Unicode glyph from a piece of a string was added. A menuitem was added to clear the charcode for all the glyphs. A new application icon was created. RPM and deb package files were added (but might be buggy). Some setup.py problems were fixed.Image

NAME
Font::TTF::Glyf - The Glyf data table DESCRIPTION
This is a stub table. The real data is held in the loca table. If you want to get a glyf look it up in the loca table as "$f-"{'loca'}{'glyphs'}[$num]>. It will not be here! The difference between reading this table as opposed to the loca table is that reading this table will cause updated glyphs to be written out rather than just copying the glyph information from the input file. This causes font writing to be slower. So read the glyf as opposed to the loca table if you want to change glyf data. Read the loca table only if you are just wanting to read the glyf information. This class is used when writing the glyphs though. METHODS
$t->read Reads the "loca" table instead! $t->out($fh) Writes out all the glyphs in the parent's location table, calculating a new output location for each one. $t->out_xml($context, $depth) Outputs all the glyphs in the glyph table just where they are supposed to be output! $t->XML_start($context, $tag, %attrs) Pass control to glyphs as they occur $t->XML_end($context, $tag, %attrs) Collect up glyphs and put them into the loca table BUGS
