Synopsis
Fonts from the SVG-Font format
Description

SVG-Font is a very easy to parse format and was therefore chosen for a font library completely written in Haskell

To use this library with your own font, the font has to be converted with http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/ Features

  • A very easy and powerful functional interface, see the Font.hs example

  • The generated outlines can be transformed in various ways, i.e. elimination of holes for easy extrusion (with the triangulation library)

  • complete implementation of the SVG-Font format, that allows Kerning (i.e. the two characters in VA have a shorter distance than in VV)

  • Everything is stored in a simple SceneGraph data type: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/collada-types

Some speed issues are left to be solved (xml) and rasterization is not finnished

Speed issues can be solved by trimming the svg file to only those characters that are used
