FYI, star-tex can now convert some DVI files into PNG files, using PK file fonts. as star-tex doesn't know how to rescale PK fonts (this involves support for MetaFont: not sure it's worth the complexity), it must be instructed to generate a PNG file with the "correct" DPI (one that matches that of the PK font). but apart from that, it works. - https://git.sr.ht/~sbinet/star-tex/tree/main/item/cmd/dvi-cnv/testdata/hello_golden.png - https://git.sr.ht/~sbinet/star-tex/tree/main/item/cmd/dvi-cnv/testdata/xcolor_golden.png now working on handling Type-1 fonts so star-tex can generate PNGs at "any" resolution. -s -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
