beach: in case you haven't already found a viable solution, I have a hacky workaround that _may_ do what you need. Have L create a LUT when it's loaded, that C can override. The LUT's keys are identifiers for problems that need signalling, and the values are the conditions to be signalled.

Equill: Thanks. Aside from the implementation, I think the solution is similar to the one I suggested.

The obvious catch is that any conditions C inserts into the LUT will need to accept the same parameters as the conditions they're replacing. Otherwise, I *think* the only run-time-overhead is the look-up involved when the condition is signalled.

It's a matter of scale, in part. My last employer discovered that "one-in-a-million" situations become a daily occurrence, if you have enough active clients :)

A gothic 'p' extracted from a Type1C (CFF) font embedded in a PDF and 'rendered' to SVG with stems: https://snipboard.io/iuJAK8.jpg

Soon, we'll be able to render the Leland music font, so that i can use it in Clovetree.

There was a query earlier about Duane Rettig. He's alive and well. I saw him yesterday! Still working on Common Lisp and the upcoming ACL 11.0 release.

Also, there is a pre-release available now. Send email to the same address asking for it and I'll shoot you the URL.

i.e. i have code that can leverage multiple backends which all create some object but have shared generic functions - all seems trivial and good - until i'm actually supposed to create one of these objects
17:51:43
jackdaniel
the function find-port accepts the "server path" argument that may be used to select a backend
17:52:21
jackdaniel
you may bind (or setf) *default-server-path* to i.e :clx-ttf and then all indirect port resolving will use the x11 backend
17:52:39
jackdaniel
you may use also (clime:with-output-to-drawing-stream (stream :svg "/tmp/foo.svg") ...) to use svg backend
17:52:54
jackdaniel
or (clime:with-output-to-drawing-stream (stream :clx-ttf nil) ...) to open a window
17:53:21
jackdaniel
if you are interested in the mechanism just navigate to the source of the function find-port

jackdaniel: you're a savior https://codeberg.org/McCLIM/McCLIM/src/commit/555728b4cd0744ce7c3c681c7e46425d34a31ed3/Core/windowing/ports.lisp#L41-L64

splittist: i see. i extended zpb-ttf to support opentype fonts but i'm apparently too slow to release
18:11:08
splittist
The Type2 charstring parsing just takes a bytestream and some defaults from the font, so should be usable in a OFF / OpenType context.
18:17:11
splittist
I guess I should put what I've got (which is not in any way release-worthy) somewhere you can pick the eyes out of it and get back to extracting text from PDFs (:
18:18:51
scymtym
i didn't mean to discourage you from working on fonts. but looking at your solution would definitely be interesting

ACTION also started to add support for the color bitmap tables at some point: https://techfak.de/~jmoringe/format.opentype-color-bitmaps-1.png :)

scymtym: I've dumped what I have here: https://github.com/splittist/jqs-type1 . To treat everything as octets I have reader macros on #" and #! as analogues of " and #\ (so you can use the character(s) for their byte values).

Filystyn: #commonlisp is not really meant for newbie questions, although they are tolerated to some extent.
18:51:52
beach
Filystyn: But seriously, you need to learn to read some relevant sections of the standard.
18:52:55
beach
Filystyn: I understand, but you are potentially wasting people's time by asking questions that could be asked with a simple lookup in the standard.

ober: strange thing to say to someone who tirelessly and patiently answers the darnedest newbie questions in #clschool O_o
20:05:57
jackdaniel
I agree that Filystyn asks questions that they should have found answers on their own, but mind that at least in theory being helpful does not contradict scarying people off
20:06:15
jackdaniel
another thing worth mentioning that scarying some people off may be a good filter
