Announced at the Microsoft //build conference:
A data structure, implemented as a new 'COLR' table in OpenType, breaks down the base glyph into a separate set of glyphs, each with its own z-order and single color reference. The color references are handled has palette indices, with a separate table, 'CPAL' in OpenType that resolves the RGBA colors actually used for the glyph.

i can only speak for luatex but it looks like layering so it's doable (in fact, we have been doing that with the cow font already so taco could probably make a test font quite fast) anyhow, as i see no public free font for testing we'll just wait and see what happens .. it doesn't sound that new and demanding (and in luatex it would end up as feature in the font handler and not in the core engine) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
