Description Martin Kretzschmar 2003-03-31 09:20:56 UTC 
As I said in December, gpdf needs methods to download font data (i.e. font
files in memory) to gnome-print.

I have tested the patch with the print-preview in gpdf and I've written
a test program using the print job (and hence print-meta) with ps and pdf
printers.

Adding PATCH keyword and bumping priority to high because of patch.
Comment 4 Jody Goldberg 2003-11-12 04:20:59 UTC 
The patch looks reasonable (although I'll request that you keep the renaming
and whitespace changes out next time).   The only adjustment I'd make would be
to derive GnomeFont for embedded fonts, and keep it private.  There is too much
private state exposed already, lets not add more.

Submit again and I'll get it into the next release.

This is not terribly relevent anymore as we move to using pango to handle the
text layout.
Comment 7 Jody Goldberg 2005-02-18 17:48:44 UTC 
The right place to handle this now would likely be in pango.
