Actually current GNOME applications has different fonts for display and printing, especially gtkhtml may has a font which can't print out, because capplet is chosen XLFD. I think Pango's font configuration is excellent, but pangox.aliases also uses XLFD. it means new gnome-print will has same problem, I think. do you plan to get a font from Xft? my purpose is default font should be able to handle most languages as possible, if the users install the fonts needed. and the users may uses some languages which doesn't know well, so for this, I think gnome-print or something else needs to point out whether it's what the font uses for which language. For no separate the font configuration between display and printing, something like the library and the font server needs to have the fonts only which can display and print out, I think.

There is an attempt at font subsetting inside gnome-print but it is not being used.

This is one of the nice things about moving to PDF. In PDF we can just write the text and keep track of the glyhs that we used, then we can great the font object. I think it is better to work towards moving to PDF than to fix the PS backend, but that is arguable. regards, Chema From gnome-print-admin@trna.ximian.com Wed Apr 24 08:18:05 2002 Received: from parallel.thegoldbergs.ca (CPE0000e8e169cd.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com [24.101.66.211]) by trna.ximian.com (8.11.6/8.11.6) with ESMTP id g3OCI5014381 for ; Wed, 24 Apr 2002 08:18:05 -0400 Received: from athlon ([146.92.33.4] helo=athlon.thegoldbergs.ca ident=mail) by parallel.thegoldbergs.ca with esmtp (Exim 3.35 #1 (Debian)) id 170Lhs-0000PD-00; Wed, 24 Apr 2002 08:17:08 -0400 Received: from jody by athlon.thegoldbergs.ca with local (Exim 3.35 #1 (Debian)) id 170Lhs-0004do-00; Wed, 24 Apr 2002 08:17:08 -0400 Date: Wed, 24 Apr 2002 08:17:08 -0400 To: Akira TAGOH Cc: gnome-print@ximian.com, Jody Goldberg Message-ID: <20020424121708.GA17819@athlon.thegoldbergs.ca> References: <20020424.180642.607953833.tagoh@gnome.gr.jp> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <20020424.180642.607953833.tagoh@gnome.gr.jp> User-Agent: Mutt/1.3.28i From: Jody Goldberg Subject: [gnome-print] Re: feature request for gnome-print On Wed, Apr 24, 2002 at 06:06:42PM +0900, Akira TAGOH wrote: > > I have a request for feature. > Now gnome-print doesn't have language information for each > fonts. so all of people isn't necessarily to be able to > print out with a default font, and applications may need to > gettextize these fontname. but translator may not describe > correct font to po files, or the users may not install the > fonts described. > If gnome-print provides API for getting a language specific > font, application won't need to have some fontname > gettextized. and those fonts should be able to change by the > users. > > This feature will be needed for CJK anyway. gnome-print > provides functions unified to applications would be better, > I think.

Any help appreciated. This is not currently supported and i don't think it will be in the sort term. It requires a lot of code on our side for a not so important feature.

Though, I could send someone my libfax or they can look at the sendfax scripts (which is where I got mine) on how to use gv to convert to an image. Then gnome-print could just print the image. app -> gnome-print -> ghostscript -> jpeg -> gnome-print -> "printer" Not sure it is that much code. The only problem is the dpi of the printer, etc. Do you always convert image to 300? 600? 1200? Is there a way the gnome-print knows the dpi so ghostscript can do the right conversion? Anyway, as I said, no code, and I am not very familiar with gnome-print, but using ghostscript for the conversion of ps or eps to an image should not be that big of a deal, I don't think. Maybe I am off in the weeds, but it seems I did some of this for libfax and mgetty+sendfax is where I got the idea (since my libfax is just a wrapper around sendfax, ghostscript, etc.).

Gnome-print powered apps can use the gnome-print API to print to a number of different backends, I don't feel that we should support functionality for an app that is going to generate PS directly. The app can generate the output with gnome_print calls, which is really very similar to Postscript. if you want to do : 100 100 translate 72 72 moveto 72 220 lineto showpage in gnome_print you would do: gnome_print_beginpage (pc); gnome_print_translate (pc, 100, 100); gnome_print_moveto (pc, 72, 72); gnome_print_lineto (pc. 72, 220); gnome_print_showpage (pc); So there is very little reason for an app that wants to use gnome-print to emit PS code directly. > app -> gnome-print -> ghostscript -> jpeg -> gnome-print -> "printer" > > Not sure it is that much code.

Yes, but what would we win from this? regards, Chema
