- The latest revision to the TrueType font format specifications
- is available via anonymous ftp from ftp.uu.net in the
- /vendor/microsoft/TrueType-Info directory. The file is
- called "ttf_spec.hlp" and, like the previous revision, is a
- fully illustrated hypertext-based version of the 400 page spec.
- Since this is based upon the Windows help engine, if you have
- Windows 3.1, then you have all of the tools necessary to display
- this document. The file is 950KB in size.
-
- The only major changes to this spec are the fixing of some typos and
- several technical revisions where the illustrations didn't necessarily
- match exactly what was happening within the rasterizer. There are no
- new table or structural changes to the font format. Note that this
- is revision 2.00 of the Microsoft spec and does not include any
- information about the TrueType GX font format extensions from Apple.
-
- There is also other TrueType information in that directory -- consult
- the "readme.txt" file for more information.
