- Description:
The following set of METAFONT sources for PL fonts (ver. 1.09 of
13 Apr 2001) is a part of MeX distribution and only EXCEPTIONALLY
is released as a separate package.
The reason for the release is a bug fix. Andreas Schwab and Joerg
Knappen found a nasty bug in PL fonts during their works on EC
family of fonts: the heights and italic corrections of the
accented characters depended on a given resolution. Unfortunately,
the check sum in TFM files depends only on character widths,
therefore the bug escaped fixing for a long time.
In the corrected version, accented characters are processed twice
(see macro `beginchar_twice' in pl_dod.mf): during the first pass,
all drawing operations (fill, draw, cull, etc.) are neutralized --
the result of the first pass are merely character dimensions (hopefully,
resolution-independent ;-); during the second pass, the glyph is
eventually created.
The documentation below is an excerpt from mexinfo.eng---the documentation
of MeX package (CTAN:/language/polish/mex*).
