The upper horizontal stem in 'p' appears wider that such stems in other glyphs.
Attaching a ZIP with 2 .bmp files.

A problem in URWPalladioL-Roma :
The upper horizontal stem in 'D' misses a flex hint.
We recommend to check other glyphs in this font.
Attaching a ZIP with 1 .bmp files.
In all pictures the original ouutline is painted with blur, a grid fitted outline is painted with green. We believe thatg grid fitting problems happen due to bad hints. s/blur/blue Hi Leonardo! I would like to know how to reproduce those images localy (if it's possible), to check current version of fonts. The drafts were generated with running Ghostscript with -Th option. See gs/Use.htm#Visual_trace, gs/doc/Use.htm#Debug_switches . Note it works on Windows only. Also you need a PS file that paints a single glyph. Could you please check with 1.0.7pre43 release of urw-fonts? ftp://ftp.gnome.ru/fonts/urw/release/urw-fonts-1.0.7pre43.tar.bz2 Thanks *** Bug 687297 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** re-assigning Ralph's bugs Bug still reproducible in Ghostscript 9.03 |
