Hi!
The next update to Linux is now available for download . Amongst other improvements, this version includes full Type1 and TrueType font embedding in PDF files.
Enjoy!
Deron
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recorded changes to 5.0.3.1 Linux + Numerous Amiga 68k code changes merged into the main library. Some things may have been inadvertantly broken in the process, hence the major revision bump from ..2 to ..3. Hopefully no harm done! + Save as PDF now includes any non-standard fonts in the PDF file! TrueType or Type1 fonts will be embedded in the PDF file. At this time, fonts are not subsetted, so if you use a 4mb font, it will add 4mb to your file! Methods exist to work around that if you want it smaller. + Changed <print file> to <PostScript file> in print setup. + Bug fixing input of special characters/accented character introduced in last update fixed. + All effects modules, and most bitmap filters, got a small rewrite to fix variable length passing for PPC based platforms (for some reason, LinuxPPC doesn't appear to be bothered, but it could just be my good luck). + When exporting an internal script, if the file ends in .rx, .rexx, or .arexx then an arexx script will be generated. If the file name ends in .py or .python, a python script will be written. For now at least, other files will default to arexx on Amiga platforms, and python on other platforms. + Added the ability to return some default text attributes using keyword DEFAULT ** <fontname|MIXED> = GETFONT ** [DOCUMENT document | WINDOW document-window | DEFAULT] ** <size|MIXED> = GETTYPESIZE ** [DOCUMENT document | WINDOW document-window | DEFAULT] ** <width|MIXED> = GETTYPEWIDTH ** [DOCUMENT document | WINDOW document-window | DEFAULT] ** <value|MIXED> = GETBASELINE ** [DOCUMENT document | WINDOW document-window | DEFAULT] + Two more list manipulation script commands ** SortList(listh, [ASCENDING TRUE/FALSE] [CASEINSENSITIVE TRUE/FALSE]) ** ClearList(listh) + When creating temporary postscript files, they are now force deleted when done. Also, if an error occurs creating the temporary file, or an excessive number of temporary files are created, an error message is displayed. + WINDOWS: can now choose Printer in the PostScript driver and output PostScript directly to the currently selected Windows printer, bypassing Windows internals. If this works for all PostScript printer users, this will be incorporated into the main PageStream Windows printer driver as well. + WINDOWS: The Windows printer driver will now display (PostScript) or (Bitmap) behind the printer name in Print Setup to indicate if it thinks the printer is capable of PostScript or not. Please let drop us a note if the printer postscript capabilities is not displayed properly here.
