[Fontinst] Re: Bug in fontinstversion{1.927}

[Peter Dyballa]

It's no problem for me to write that I do not understand (now or in 
future) what you wrote, it's a bit too far away from my experience and 
my understanding. Isn't this statement doing the translation I 
mentioned before:

	\ifisglyph{afii61352}\then              \setglyph{numero} 
\glyph{afii61352}{1000} \endsetglyph \Fi

If there is an "u" take it for an "x." Or am I wrong again? In German 
'errare masculinum est' sounds very comfortable. At least to me.

ttf2pt is instructed from statements like these:

	=01     U+0393  GREEK CAPITAL LETTER GAMMA
	=02     U+0394  GREEK CAPITAL LETTER DELTA
	=03     U+0398  GREEK CAPITAL LETTER THETA

It excerpts (and re-writes) the programme for the glyph at the 
specified Unicode position and when assembling the new font puts it 
into slot #<from column 1>. The corresponding AFM file reports this, 
plus the measures of the box into which glyph fits.

To access the TrueType font it uses libfreetype. The output is kind of 
PFA type (with the help of libpstoedit?). t1asm is used to create the 
real PFA or PFB file.
