The result looks bad. I think something is wrong with respect to autoexpand. Thanks, Akira

[ pdftex-Patches-462 ] HZ font expansion by text matrix manipulation

Patches item #462, was opened at 2005-12-23 23:35 You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=495&aid=462&group_id=106 Category: Positioning Group: v1.40.0 Status: Open >Resolution: Postponed Priority: 5 Submitted By: Hartmut Henkel (hhenkel) Assigned to: The Thanh Han (hanthethanh) Summary: HZ font expansion by text matrix manipulation Initial Comment: Use textmatrix Tm instead of /FontMatrix for font expansion. Then a font file will be embedded only once for all expansion factors. Gives smaller PDF files. Works then also for non-embedded fonts. TrueType not tried yet. Rough patch only, incomplete, work in progress, no warranty, not for production. Regards, Hartmut ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Martin Schröder (oneiros) Date: 2006-12-01 11:26 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=421 We've removed it from beta again; it introduces additional problems and needs more time to stabilize. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Robert (schlcht) Date: 2006-09-30 16:22 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=2217 It's great to have this included! However, pdftex is now a bit too keen on autoexpanding -- it does so, even if `autoexpand' is not specified. Although the pre-created metrics are read, the physical font (pfb resp. pk) is ignored. As has been discussed re: bug 304, *not* using autoexpansion gives better results for MM (and MF) fonts, since the fonts are not stretched blindly but stroke widths are adjusted etc. Compare the output of the test file from bugs/304 compiled with an old pdftex and with 20060928. With the latter, the strokes are slightly heavier. Same here (with an existing file cmr10+100.mf): \pdfadjustspacing2 \pdfmapline{ cmr10} \pdfmapline{+cmr10+100} \font\cmr =cmr10 \cmr \pdffontexpand\cmr 100 0 100 %autoexpand Hamburgefonts\par \parfillskip 0pt Hamburgefonts \bye ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Martin Schröder (oneiros) Date: 2006-02-13 19:41 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=421 The last word from Hartmut was that it's not ready yet and he'd be working on an improved version. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Robert (schlcht) Date: 2006-02-13 19:05 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=2217 Will this make it into 1.40? I would love to see it included. I've tested it a bit and did not find any problems (I'm also using it for the pre-built microtype documentation on CTAN).
