Hi, The version which I currently use isn't too long. Effectively, it is a hack, but it does what I need now. Here is a diff for TTFMetrics.pm. I think a major rework were possible. It could work by so, that we read the the whole ttf in a step. We build a hash for the glyphes, and another for t

Akos, Send me the code (email is the best). I'll check that it does not break anything. As you can understand, It's a very complex module. I'll update the module to the next version with proper credit. Thanks for being so vigilant. -Malay On Wed, Apr 11, 2012 at 12:57 PM, Horvath, Akos wrote:

1. adding some comments :-) 2. this library is for calculating the lengths of ttf strings. It works okay, but is slow, because it reads and reads parts of the ttf file in every call. This needs optimiziation (effectively, a cache in a bottleneck), which I already did, only want to upload. Than

Thanks Matt, I don't know what Akos is talking about. There is no unchecked eval in the code. The only eval is to check that the input file is readable. If the read call fails then the modules exits gracefully. There is *no* problem with this eval. -Malay On Wed, Apr 11, 2012 at 12:34 PM, Matt S

Hello, Yes, it is true. But follow the code further. In the eval() is a read(), from a file handle to a .ttf file. It reads the first 12 bytes of a ttf font file, and then evaluates it as a perl code block! I found the current mail address of the author, Cc: is going to him now. Bye, Akos -

Ok, I understood. Thank you very much, and sorry for the false alarm. --- I think, this Font::TTFMetrics needs a little bit of optimization. It reads and reads the file again and again, which is slow when is used for a lot of strings. I registered to PAUSE, but it is not enough. Until then, th
