Font Manager
The Font Manager provides system-wide services
for the retrieval of glyphs for display of textual
information.
- The Font Manager is now PowerPC-native.
- A problem where an italic bitmap font would
incorrectly override a TrueType font of the same size
displaying letters with the wrong style has been
corrected. Now, the TrueType font will be displayed
unless the style of the bitmap font matches exactly.
- Font Manager no longer allocates or de-allocates
caches on a per-processes basis. A system-wide font cache
is allocated at system startup in the system heap. All
processes share this same cache.
- The Font Manager does more parameter checking than in
previous versions.
- Font Manager now purges fonts from the font cache
more aggressively.
- All fonts shipping with Mac OS 8.5 (except VT102)
include the new Euro glyph.
- The US version of Mac OS 8.5 ships with the following
new fonts: Capitals, Gadget, Sand, Techno, and Textile.
