- Synopsis
- Fonts from the SVG-Font format
- Description
This format is easy to parse and was therefore chosen for a font library completely written in Haskell
You can convert your own font to SVG with http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/ or use the included LinLibertine, Bitstream
Features
A powerful functional interface, demonstrated with an example (Fonts.hs)
The generated outlines can be transformed in various ways, i.e. elimination of holes for triangulation, representation with triangles, extrusion
Color textures that are stored as files (font cache). Foreground and background color can be freely chosen.
Everything is stored in a simple SceneGraph: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/collada-types
Complete implementation of the features that fontforge produces (but not the complete SVG format):
Kerning (i.e. the two characters in "VA" have a shorter distance than in "VV")
Unicode, Ligatures
XML speed issues can be solved by trimming the svg file to only those characters that are used (or maybe binary xml one day)
