Re: [PyX-devel] Missing glyphs when including PyX files

[André W. <wo...@us...>]

Hi Michael,

in general there's nothing wrong about adding DSCs, far from it. However, stripped fonts should neither be listed in DocumentSuppliedFonts (they are incomplete) nor in DocumentNeededFonts (they are embedded and thus not needed). (And I know that there are newer DSC names like DocumentSuppliedResources, but this is not important for this discussion.) Furthermore I'm sure we should use the registry to handle DSCs. We don't do anything at all in this direction so far (and maybe we'll never add it), but it is the proper infrastructure. As I told you in my other email I was asked to add some DSC handling for some special project and it was ugly as we didn't had the registry at that time. In this project I did not only needed to collect DSC data from own canvasitems, but also from included EPS files. The DSC infrastructure should collect DSCs from embedded EPS file and "forward" it to the outside document. We don't do anything like that at the moment, but I just wanted to give you an impression of what could be done.

Best,


André
