libwmf2 now optionally searches for two different fontmaps, both in the XML format. By default these are system `sys' fontmap: /usr/share/fonts/fontmap non-system `xtra' fontmap: $prefix/share/libwmf/fonts/fontmap These are set by configure, and can overridden at run-time using the command line options --wmf-sys-fontmap=<file> --wmf-xtra-fontmap=<file> By default, libwmf2 restricts itself to the 13 standard fonts. To extend the fontmapping, you need to specify the fontmaps, as above, or use the following options --wmf-sys-fonts --wmf-xtra-fonts The default `xtra' fontmap, which is the one that gets installed, lists only the 13 standard fonts. To update this, or to create a separate, personal fontmap, there is a new a utility: libwmf-fontmap [--map=<fontmap>] [<dir> [<dir> [...]]] libwmf-fontmap searches each specified directory for fonts (at the moment only postscript and some true type fonts can be handled) and adds any found to the fontmap. I get mixed results. Having improved support is great, but I've noticed some alignment problems which I don't pretend to understand; and (bizarrely) I see slight differences between PFB & TTF for the same font. WARNING: Using non-system fonts with wmf2eps is not adviseable. Regards, Frank Francis James Franklin F.J...@sh... Their consultation consisted chiefly in propounding and supporting, for the thousandth time, each his favourite theories. --- George MacDonald |
