|
|
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the TrueType
|
|
specification is fuzzy and misleading enough to
|
|
disband some serious commercial developers, but that
|
|
wasn't enough for us. Even though it took some time
|
|
(aaargh...), we finally discovered through hard work
|
|
the real meanings of the specs, fixed some errors
|
|
and even found surprising undocumented behaviour or
|
|
features!
