Re: [ft-devel] Glyph metrics figures on the website

[Nicolas Rougier]

Here are the two files.
I replaced the CM font with the STIX one (most easy with matplotlib).
(not so sure how to use the ones you suggested with matplotlib).

http://webloria.loria.fr/~rougier/tmp/glyph-metrics-vertical.pdf


The 'g' comes from the "Bitstream Vera Sans" if the information is needed.


Of course, a better solution could be to use pgf/tikz but I did not find how to 
access all the glyph information.
