[Wvware-devel] MT Extra font.

[Sean Y. <se...@ms...>]

All,

I've only just subscribed to this list so please forgive me if I'm 
misbehaving (but please tell me off!).

A long time ago I wrote a Word document, which is here:

	http://www.msxnet.org/tech/Z80/z80.zip

It's written in Word 6, which came with the "MT Extra" font preinstalled,
as confirmed by:

This font is part of "Math Type" (see http://www.mathtype.com/), but 
Microsoft distributed it with Word. It has loads of funky Math symbols
in it, which I used in my document (since I don't know anything about
maths it's just the arrows). I found a unicode translation table:

So I wrote a patch based on wv-0.6.5. It might be worthwhile including,
other documents might use it aswell. You never know. :-) Note that Word > 6
doesn't read the above document very well unless you install the font,
which would make wv-0.6.5 slightly better than Word > 6. :-)

I tested it with some other documents and it works fine. Please let me
know if anything is wrong with the patch, I'll do my best to fix it. It
isn't rock-science, just a lynx -dump ... > mtextra.c with some minor fixes
to make it compile.


Cheers,

Sean Young
