Hello,
 
I would like to be added to the info-performer mailing list with a digest
subscription. Thanks.
 
I also have a question that I was not able to answer through searching
the archives:
 
Has anyone used the routines in the type1rd.c file of the libpfdu source
directory to add any other fonts to Performer accessible through pfFont? It
looks like the routine readtype1 will take a postscript type1 .pfa file and
convert it into an objfnt structure (which pdfLoadFont accesses when building a
pfFont). When I try to write the objfnt structure out to a .mf file using
writeobjfnt (from objfnt.c), then read it back in using pdfLoadFile with type
set to FILLED, the error "newObjMeshGSet : Bad TMESH Op from objfnt parser"
originating from the routine newObjFilledGSet is displayed over and over
again. I was trying to read a standard Helvetica.pfa file, and I am developing
CAVE applications using Performer and CAVELibs (so I only have a rendering
context, no XWindows).

Does anyone have a working example of doing this process, or have
any other .mf (filled), .of (outline), or .bw (textured) files for other fonts?
 
Thanks,
 
Rhonda Vickery
