Re: [Numerator-discuss] Extending font

[<end...@co...>]

Hello

The windows version of gnumerator is no longer developed. This technology is currently being rolled into Apple's Safari browser.

I have decided to abandon Windows in general for 2 basic reasons, 1: the Apple OSX environment is so superior in every way, it is trully a joy to work in, and 2: perhaps more importantly, is the general apathetic attitude of Windows developers. In point, the gnumerator components have been available for download for approximatly 2 years, I have had thousands of downloads, and this is the 2nd or 3rd email I have received. In contrast, Apple (and Linux) have  incredibly vibrant developer and user communities, I suspect that that is because Appls and Linux users and developers use that platform by choice rather than typically being forced to use a platform as with the case of Windows users and developers. 

But to answer your question, you do not have to re-compile any component to use a new font. What you have to do is edit a configuration file, this is "font-configuration-1-math-roman.xml", you need to tell it that this font has the particular glyph you added. You also have to edit another file called "font-configuration-3-times-new-roman.xml". This file has entries called glyph-ranges, this is a tells the program that this font  has ranges of glyphs, and to use this font file for these glyphs. You need to break up these glyph ranges to exclude the glyph that you added to the other font file.
