SVGFonts
Version 1.2 revision 0 uploaded by TillmannVogt.
Package meta
- Synopsis
- Fonts from the SVG-Font format
- Description
Native font support for the Diagrams library. The SVG-Font 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
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
An example that shows how to do text boxes with syntax highlighting using highlighting-kate from hackage
XML speed issues can be solved by trimming the svg file to only those characters that are used (or maybe binary xml one day).
Version 1.0 of this library supports texturing which would only make sense in a Diagrams Backend that does rasterization in Haskell.
Example:
# LANGUAGE NoMonomorphismRestriction # import Diagrams.Prelude import Diagrams.Backend.Cairo.CmdLine import Graphics.SVGFonts.ReadFont (textSVG) main = defaultMain ( (text' "Hello World") <> (rect 8 1) # alignBL ) text' t = stroke (textSVG t 1) # fc purple # fillRule EvenOdd text'' t = stroke (textSVG' $ TextOpts t lin INSIDE_H KERN False 1 1 ) # fillRule EvenOdd text''' t = (textSVG_ $ TextOpts t lin INSIDE_H KERN True 1 1 ) # fillRule EvenOdd- Author
