[DoubleType-dev-en] Question about the sourcecode (part 2)

[Yannik De V. <Yan...@vu...>]

Hello,

Thanks a lot for your help David! I really appreciate it!
So, if I understand it correctly, the Relaxer takes a glyph-file and puts i=
t into java-code, so the program can work with it?
I have just 2 other questions:

I don't know much about Truetypes or Openfonts, but is it normal for a glyp=
h-file to be in XML? And are truetype fontfiles also standardly in XML? Or =
is just for this application that they're in XML?

Second question: to make sure: There is a package "adapter", with some clas=
ses with the same name as in the xml-package, online with an E instead of a=
n X (e.g. XContour becomes EContour). I allready figured out where the E st=
ands for (comes from the Emulator, right?), but I'm not sure what it does..=
.
 I'm thinking that part is for the objects (like contour, contourpoint,...=
) where you want to do some special things with, like moving it around, or =
such. Is this thought correct, or am I just missing the point?
Again, thanks a lot for your help, it's really kind of you to take the time=
 to help me on this matter.
Kind regards,

Yannik
