...right. That %rom% thing squirmed completely out of my brain despite having followed your discussion with Ingo about it only months ago. > There is no guarantee that the fonts from different sources are the > same, although the same glyphs will have identical widths.

Also reasonable. > Even if there is only one source for the URW fonts, the difference > between the default and U foundries is that afmtodit has been run on > the files found so the U- fonts will contain more glyphs than the > default fonts copied from the grops directory. afmtodit has been run on the Adobe fonts too, just...a really long time ago. I have looked into fixing Savannah #63018 "the right way"; this means getting that font/devps/generate stuff to actually work again. https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?63018 I'm attaching the core of the fix, but for it to produce a useful ZD font description file is going to require un-bitrotting some other stuff, and building some more powerful machinery to figure out file name mappings for PostScript fonts to groff font names. Something font designers seem to love to do is to change their font file names every two weeks... > I hope this explains why it makes sense to reverse the order for the > two foundries. I'll leave the appropriate comment to you. Thank you! I'll ponder over it. Nothing makes me learn something like being given the responsibility to explain it. :P Regards, Branden
