Font "package manager"

I've been thinking about creating a font management service similar to traditional software package managers (e.g. Debian Aptitude, NPM, etc.)

The basic idea is this:

  1. There's a main repository of fonts that are free (as in free to distribute) that the working group hosts
  2. There's a small program that serves as the "manager", to be used or installed on client systems
  3. The "manager" can be configured to operate with multiple repositories

Good test pattern: https://www.rtings.com/images/test-materials/2017/chroma-444.png (Compress it with any lossy codec first, for example jpeg. You can do it with mpv, only add screenshot-jpeg-source-chroma=no to mpv.conf). Usage: glsl-shader="~~/KrigBilateral.glsl"

Compress PDF files with ghostscript

This can reduce files to ~15% of their size (2.3M to 345K, in one case) with no obvious degradation of quality.

ghostscript -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dPDFSETTINGS=/printer -dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dBATCH -sOutputFile=output.pdf input.pdf

Other options for PDFSETTINGS:

  • /screen selects low-resolution output similar to the Acrobat Distiller "Screen Optimized" setting.
  • /ebook selects medium-resolution output similar to the Acrobat Distiller "eBook" setting.
  • /printer selects output similar to the Acrobat Distiller "Print Optimized" setting.
  • /prepress selects output similar to Acrobat Distiller "Prepress Optimized" setting.
