The new Adobe Glyph List copied from
http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/opentype/aglfn.txt

Need to updage ga/lib/gs_agl.ps, gs/Resource/Decoding/Unicode .
Comment 2 leonardo 2006-05-18 04:14:41 UTC
Also not sure why some glyphs appear in the old gs_agl.ps, and don't appear in 
Decoding/Unicode . Here are such glyphs :

Tcommaaccent 
scedilla 
Scedilla 
macron 
mu 
periodcentered 
hyphen 
fraction 
space 
Delta 
Omega 
tcommaaccent 

I also noticed that gs_agl.ps maps Tcommaaccent to 2 codes, one of which looks 
incorrect. Need to check others.

UnicodeDec2.ps

An useful utility.
Comment 4 leonardo 2006-05-24 10:39:30 UTC
Plwase also update Decoding/FCO_Unicode .
Note it assign different codes to some names like 'mu'. There are 2 reasons :
1. Unicode code isn't unique;
2. AgfaUFST/FCO needs a different code that the one went from Decoding/Unicode.

Currently ParseDecoding doesn't properly handle non-unique codes. Later we 
should create arrays of alternative codes, and fix the C code which uses 
Decoding resources to handle arrays. I believe that TRue Type font machinery 
handles arrays, but the pdfwrite/ToUnicode doesn't. Don't create arrays until 
pdfwrite is fixed.

Adobe Glyph List updated in commit '7d2d1f22ddf751fe2d6e3f9c5821fbc30a102a6a', patch is here:

http://ghostscript.com/pipermail/gs-cvs/2011-July/013187.html

gs_agl.ps has been removed and turned into a C file (and is now also used by txtwrite). The Decoding/FCO_Unicode seems to be a quite different issue. Decoding/Unicode was updated some time back, correcting various problems in the file.

So I'm closing this as fixed. Anything else hasn't appeared for the last 5 years so it can't be important.
