[transform-swf-updates] BUG: Version 2.3.2 - Glyphs are offset when using Mac OS X

[News on r. b. a. p. f. T. S. f. J. <tra...@li...>]

When an AWT Font object is used to generate a font definition on Mac OS 
X the characters are offset vertically. The problem appears to be the 
way the TrueType 
<https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/transform-swf/wiki/TrueType> fonts 
are decoded by Java. In Sun's JDK 1.4 no translation was required as 
font glyphs were decoded but that changed in JDK 1.6 so the translation 
was applied.

First assessment is that Apple's version of Java 1.6 operates the same 
as 1.4 so the translation in the current version is wrongly applied.

It is hoped to have a fix ready for a scheduled release at the end of April.
