[Devel] font subsetting and downloading paper

[Sivan Toledo]

Hi, 

I would like to call your attention to a paper that I wrote for the
XFree86 Technical conference. The paper discusses the design
and implementation of the font subsetting and downloading in
the printer driver of Qt/X11, which allows WYSIWYG printing
in KDE. 

The paper suggests that this functionality should reside
in a standalone library that serves not only Qt but other
environments. One of the possibilities is to add this functionality
to FreeType or Xft.

I would be interested in any thought on this.

The paper is at http://www.tau.ac.il/~stoledo/Pubs/qtfonts.pdf
or go to http://www.tau.ac.il/~stoledo/pubs.html 
and click on "Font subsetting and downloading ..."
