Hi,
perhaps some people on this list are interested to hear that I have
updated troff (from OpenSolaris code) to support:
- direct access to PostScript Type 1 and Type 42 (converted TrueType)
fonts
- small capitals, old-style numerals, and ligatures from PostScript
"expert" fonts
- pairwise kerning of characters and letter space tracking, including
a request to create kerning pairs for characters from different fonts
- hanging characters
- arbitrary letter sizes, including fractional points
- text input according to the locale, including UTF-8 input on most
platforms
- hyphenation of international languages
- international paper sizes such as A4
- DSC-conforming PostScript output
- PDF bookmarks
- higher device resolutions.
Source code is available at <http://heirloom.sourceforge.net/doctools.html>.
Gunnar
