The PDFFont class hierarchy was very simple (a top-level PDFFont class, followed by all the children classes that derived directly from it). While this design was good enough for some things, it didn't correctly model the actual organization of font types: * PDF fonts are first divided between "simple" and "composite" fonts. The latter is the Type0 font, while the rest are all simple. * PDF fonts yield a glyph per "character code". Simple fonts char codes are always 1 byte long, while Type0 char codes are of variable size. To this effect, this commit changes the hierarchy of Font classes, introducing a new SimpleFont class, deriving from PDFFont, and acting as the parent of Type1Font and TrueTypeFont, while Type0 still derives from PDFFont directly. This distinction allows us now to: * Model string rendering differently from simple and composite fonts: PDFFont now offers a generic draw_string method that takes a whole string to be rendered instead of a single char code. SimpleFont implements this as a loop over individual bytes of the string, with T1 and TT implementing draw_glyph for drawing a single char code. * Some common fields between T1 and TT fonts now live under SimpleFont instead of under PDFfont, where they previously resided. * Some other interfaces specific to SimpleFont have been cleaned up, with u16/u32 not appearing on these classes (or in PDFFont) anymore. * Type0Font's rendering still remains unimplemented. As part of this exercise I also took the chance to perform the following cleanups and restructurings: * Refactored the creation and initialisation of fonts. They are all centrally created at PDFFont::create, with a virtual "initialize" method that allows them to initialise their inner members in the correct order (parent first, child later) after creation. * Removed duplicated code. * Cleaned up some public interfaces: receive const refs, removed unnecessary ctro/dtors, etc. * Slightly changed how Type1 and TrueType fonts are implemented: if there's an embedded font that takes priority, otherwise we always look for a replacement. * This means we don't do anything special for the standard fonts. The only behavior previously associated to standard fonts was choosing an encoding, and even that was under questioning.
SerenityOS
Graphical Unix-like operating system for x86-64 computers.
About
SerenityOS is a love letter to '90s user interfaces with a custom Unix-like core. It flatters with sincerity by stealing beautiful ideas from various other systems.
Roughly speaking, the goal is a marriage between the aesthetic of late-1990s productivity software and the power-user accessibility of late-2000s *nix. This is a system by us, for us, based on the things we like.
You can watch videos of the system being developed on YouTube:

- Every-day GUI programs and utilities (Spreadsheet with JavaScript, TextEditor, Terminal, PixelPaint, various multimedia viewers and players, Mail, Assistant, Calculator, ...)
... and all of the above are right in this repository, no extra dependencies, built from-scratch by us :^)
Additionally, there are over two hundred ports of popular open-source software, including games, compilers, Unix tools, multimedia apps and more.
How do I read the documentation?
Man pages are available online at man.serenityos.org. These pages are generated from the Markdown source files in Base/usr/share/man and updated automatically.
When running SerenityOS you can use man for the terminal interface, or help for the GUI.
Code-related documentation can be found in the documentation folder.
How do I build and run this?
See the SerenityOS build instructions. Serenity runs on Linux, macOS (aarch64 might be a challenge), Windows (with WSL2) and many other *Nixes with hardware or software virtualization.
