TrueType (CID-keyed) font support for Postscript renderer

[Venkat Reddy <va...@googlemail.com>]

Hi,

I am planning to provide TrueType (CID-Keyed) font support for 
Postscript renderer. I have never developed any of the font related code 
for any renderer in FOP as of now.
I had a look at the information provided by Jeremias with the following 
WIKI page

http://wiki.apache.org/xmlgraphics-fop/TrueTypeInPostScript#preview

I felt, this is too high level to understand the complete functionality, 
wants to know a detailed step by step process to implement this 
functionality.
Please can someone help me in this regard, and provide me a more 
detailed approach to achieve this..

Thanks in advance,
Venkat.

Hi Venkat,

since you've BCC'd me on this, I assume you hope that I could guide you
through this. I'm sorry to disappoint you but as I've noted on the Wiki,
this is new for me, too. Short of implementing this myself I couldn't
give you the step by step guide that you request. The thing that you
need to do is read up on the relevant parts of the PostScript
specification and figure out the details yourself. I've tried to compile
as much information on the Wiki that I could come up with in the time I
had available.

Good luck!
