Subject: [geda-user] [pcb-rnd] Arc objects now supported within pcb-rnd font glyphs
To: geda-user <geda-user AT delorie DOT com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Reply-To: geda-user AT delorie DOT com

Support for arc objects has now been added to pcb-rnd's font capabilities.

The built in font editor within pcb-rnd now allows arcs to be edited
as part of font glyphs, when the font editor is invoked with the
:FontEdit  command.

Screenshots of an example default font alternative using arcs for many
of the contours on the glyphs can be seen here:

http://vk5hse.blogspot.com.au/2017/04/line-polygon-and-arc-objects-now.html

Those wishing to create more unusual fonts and glyphs, perhaps even
logos, now have arcs, lines and polygons available with the new lihata
(.lht) font file format.

pcb-rnd allows the current layout font or fonts on file to be edited
with the built in font editor, and an edited font can then be saved to
disk, using the   :FontSave   command, after which it can be easily
shared with others or loaded with the CTRL-SHIFT-F font selection
window in a layout.

Cheers,

Erich.
