[afp-renderer-developers] outline fonts

[Keith H. <ke...@ke...>]

Hi,

Just starting using the renderer - really impressed. What's the  
latest on the move to Fop trunk? Manuel's mention of 'out of the box'  
standard font support sounds great. I tried to get a build going a  
week or so ago against the new branch, but couldn't get it to build  
(do I need to check it out in the same folder as the trunk code?)

Cheers,

Keith Harris

The current status is that I've applied a tag FOP_HANDOVER to the AFP
Renderer CVS tree, and packaged up this source for handover to
Apache.[1]

The handover procedure is not yet complete, but it looks like things are
getting nearer to completion[2], upon which the tagged source will be
commited to the FOP sandbox.

I've attached the message from Manual where he describes the procedure
for getting the AFP Renderer FOP_ALPHA branch to work with the FOP
trunk.

Good luck!
Joe

Thanks Joe,

Got it building fine now and generating afps nicely. There were a  
couple of tweaks needed to get it to work with the latest version of  
Fop trunk, but there's no point submitting patches I guess with  
everything on the move. Looking forward to seeing the code in that  
sandbox.

Cheers,

Keith
