.NET

I am writing a tool to create an otf or ttc with only characters defined in our localized string table, so we can cut down memory usage. I already have the information for the Japanese characters we are using but I am unable to find an example of creating a new font based around these characters.

Does anyone know of a good example or even the interface I can access to do this? I am working in C# with .NET 3.5.

I am looking into Volt and TTOasm from Microsoft, but I am not sure if they will do exactly what I need.

Any information is appreciated.

Thanks, Matt Smith

Dynamic Type to do away with Reflection

One thing I’ve been doing a lot with it is to remove explicit Reflection code that’s often necessary when you ‘dynamically’ need to walk and object hierarchy. In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More
