Major Changes in Version 0.93

Note

This is not a complete list of changes, a full list of changes in this release is available.

Added support for the use of Open Type fonts (BD)
Support for the rgb-icc() function and for a proprietary cmyk() function (for device CMYK colors only through the PDF renderer so far). (JM) Thanks to Peter Coppens. Fixes 40729.
Added support for PDF/A-1b and PDF/X-3:2003. (Note: this may still be a bit incomplete. Feedback is welcome!) (JM)
Automatic support for all fonts available to the Java2D subsystem for all Java2D-descendant renderers (TIFF, PNG, print, AWT). (JM)
Enabled Copy/Paste from PDF content in Acrobat Reader for text using embedded TrueType fonts. (BD) Thanks to Adam Strzelecki, Victor Mote. Fixes 5535.
The Java2DRenderer (and therefore the print and bitmap renderers) is now offering the same quality as the PDF and PS renderers. Note: There can still be little differences between PDF and Print/PNG/TIFF because the latter uses a different font metrics source. (JM)
