Open jvgaultney opened 7 years ago

n7s commented 7 years ago

the new name is FTMLcreateOdt

mhosken commented 7 years ago

This should be a test target.

mhosken commented 6 years ago

How do we want this to work?

There are probably other questions I will need to ask along the way.

@mhosken Not sure if this information is relevant, but psfftml2odt.py (formerly FTMLcreateOdt, formerly ftml2odt.py) creates an .odt file using font information passed on the command line. If the font is specified by name, then the constructed .odt file assumes the font is installed and references it accordingly. If the font is specified by filename, then the referenced font file is embedded in the constructed .odt file and referenced accordingly. If the font features are different for OT and Graphite, then different "feats" strings will exercise OT or Graphite, however if the font features have identical names (which I understand is what we're hoping to do in future), then I don't see a way to select OT or Graphite processing, unless there's some setting at the LO writer level that would do that.
