ghc-SVGFonts

Native font support for the diagrams framework
(<http://projects.haskell.org/diagrams/>). Note that this package can be used
with any diagrams backend, not just the SVG backend. The SVG-font format is
easy to parse and was therefore chosen for a font library completely written in
Haskell.
You can convert your own font to SVG with <http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/>,
or use the included LinLibertine and Bitstream fonts.
Features:

Complete implementation of the features that Fontforge produces (though not

the complete SVG format)

Kerning (/i.e./ the two characters in "VA" are closer than the characters in

"VV")

Unicode

Ligatures

An example that shows how to do text boxes with syntax highlighting using


highlighting-kate: <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/highlighting-kate>
XML speed issues can be solved by trimming the svg file to only those
characters that are used (or maybe binary xml one day).
Version 1.0 of this library supports texturing, though this only makes sense in
a diagrams backend that does rasterization in Haskell, such as
diagrams-rasterific.
Example:
> # LANGUAGE NoMonomorphismRestriction # > > import Diagrams.Prelude > import
Diagrams.Backend.Rasterific.CmdLine > import Graphics.SVGFonts > > main =
defaultMain (text' "Hello World") > > text' t = stroke (textSVG t 1) # fc
purple # fillRule EvenOdd > text'' t = stroke (textSVG' (TextOpts lin INSIDE_H
KERN False 1 1) t) # fillRule EvenOdd > text''' t = (textSVG_ (TextOpts lin
INSIDE_H KERN True 1 1) t) # fillRule EvenOdd .
