--- Comment #14 from Thomas Schraitle
I have used term 'metric compatibility' only as naively until now, what's actually the exact definition? I suppose one have to take e. g. kerning into account?
I've found some useful "definition" in Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typeface#Font_metrics): Typefaces with the same metrics (i.e., with the same glyph dimensions) are said to be "metric-compatible", that is, they can be substituted for one another in a document without changing the document's text flow. With that definition, kerning needs to be considered too, otherwise line breaks would differ. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
