Added some functionality, but more importantly corrected two nasty
font bugs.
- Added options
-bp
, to set initial bitmap size based on
paper sizes and -Qp
to list the sizes available. Added option
-PC
to turn off cropping, which is useful if you want output of
a certain size. - Fixed a bug which caused fonts loaded at magnified sizes to be
requested at the wrong size, even though, when they were found to be
missing, the correct font-generation command was being issued.
- Fixed the longish-standing bug to do with spacing at smaller font
sizes: cmr7 and cmr12 now look as their maker intended.
- Corrected a bug which caused page-selection to be done subtly
wrongly (font selections were being ignored, and byte values of 140 in
DVI data would have caused merry hell).
- configure script: The configuration for PNG now doesn't rely on a
libpng version better than 0.96. Font-generation is now enabled by
default, despite the potential for confusion, which should be covered
in the documentation.
- Added better diagnostics to InputByteStream.cc, so that if it goes
wrong, you're given at least a clue why.
