2010-08-10 10:45:07 Paul Sladen description The pixels per em 7-segment readout driven by the hint engine at U+F000 is only present in the Regular. Ideally it should be added to all variants to add effective debugging. The pixels per em 7-segment readout driven by the hint engine at U+F000 ('') is only present in the Regular. Ideally it should be added to all variants to aid effective debugging.

Ideally it should be added to all variants to aid effective debugging. The pixels per em 7-segment readout driven by the hint engine at U+F000 ('') is only present in the Regular from the Deja Vu Sans font. Ideally it, or an equivalent should be added to all variants to aid effective debugging; either coding from scratch, or using the Deja Vu code if the licensing terms converge.

Ideally it, or an equivalent should be added to all variants to aid effective debugging; either coding from scratch, or using the DejaVu code if the licensing terms converge. Update: we have permission (Thank you) from the original author of the DejaVu code for the debug glyph to use it in the Ubuntu Font Family, but it's waiting only legal discussions at the Canonical end (as current copyright holders) on how to incorporate the contribution in a non-exclusive way. Ben Laenen's implementation works by executing MPPEM and then moving the nodes/segments that are /not/ needed for that size to the left-hand edge using ALIGNRP. See bytecode documentation at: http://developer.apple.com/fonts/TTRefMan/RM05/Chap5.html#MPPEM The DejaVu implementation can be found with: apt-get source ttf-dejavu ttf-dejavu-2.30/src/DejaVuSans.sfd (search for 'uniF000') note that this should not be incorporated until we've worked out the legal boilerplate to make this happen.
