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

[Nicolas Rougier]

PDF/SVG files are created by matplotlib.


Here are the svg files:

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

and the sources:
http://webloria.loria.fr/~rougier/tmp/glyph-metrics.py

Note that you'll need matplotlib and the trunk version of freetype-py (I had to 
add the glyph metrics stuff).
