<title>Introduction</title>
|
||
|
<para>
|
||
|
The management of fonts in large, heterogeneous environments is one of the
|
||
|
hardest aspects of using the X Window System
|
||
|
<footnote id='footnote1'><para>

||

|
||
|
. Multiple formats and the lack of
|
||
|
a consistent mechanism for exporting font data to all displays on a network
|
||
|
prevent the transparent use of applications across different display platforms.
|
||
|
The X Font Service protocol is designed to address this and other issues, with
|
||
|
specific emphasis on the needs of the core X protocol. Upward-compatible
|
||
|
changes (typically in the form of new requests) are expected as consensus is
|
||
|
reached on new features (particularly outline font support).
|
||
|
</para>
|
||
|
<para>
|
||
|
Currently, most X displays use network file protocols such as
|
||
|
<acronym>NFS</acronym> and <acronym>TFTP</acronym> to
|
||
|
obtain raw font data which they parse directly. Since a common binary format
|
||
|
for this data doesn't exist, displays must be able to interpret a variety of
|
||
|
formats if they are to be used with different application hosts. This leads to
|
||
|
wasted code and data space and a loss of interoperability as displays are used
|
||
|
in unforeseen environments.
|
||
|
</para>
|
||
|
<para>
|
||
|
By moving the interpretation of font data out of the X server into a separate
|
||
|
service on the network, these problems can be greatly reduced. In addition,
|
||
|
new technologies, such as dynamically generating bitmaps from scaled or outline
|
||
|
fonts, can be provided to all displays transparently. For horizontal text,
|
||
|
caching techniques and increased processor power can potentially make
|
||
|
rasterization more efficient on large, centralized hosts than on individual
|
||
|
displays.
|
||
|
</para>
|
||
|
<para>
|
||
|
Each font server provides sets of fonts that may be listed and queried for
|
||
|
header, property, glyph extents, and bitmap information. This data is
|
||
|
transmitted over the network using a binary format (with variations to support
|
||
|
different bit- and byte-orders) designed to minimize the amount of processing
|
||
|
required by the display. Since the font server, rather than the display, is
|
||
|
responsible for parsing the raw font data, new formats can be used by all
|
||
|
displays by modifying a single font server.
|
||
|
</para>
|
||
|
<para>
|
||
|
From the user's point of view, font servers are simply a new type of name in
|
||
|
the X font path. Network name services allow descriptive names (such as
|
||
|
DEPARTMENT-FONTS or APPLICATION-FONTS) to be translated into proper network
|
||
|
addresses. X displays send requests to and read replies from the font server
|
||
|
rather than reading directly from files. Since the X Font Service protocol is
|
||
|
designed to allow subsets of the font data to be requested, displays may easily
|
||
|
implement a variety of strategies for fine-grained demand-loading of glyphs.

In this document, the words <firstterm>client</firstterm> and

|
<firstterm>server</firstterm> refer to the consumer and
|
||
|
provider of a font, respectively, unless otherwise indicated. It is important

to note that in this context, the X server is also a font client.

The X Font Service protocol does not require any changes to the core X protocol
|
||
|
or to any applications. To the user, font servers are simply additional types
|
||
|
of font path elements. As such, X servers may connect to multiple font
|
||
|
servers, as shown in Figure 2.1. Although the font protocol is geared towards
|
||
|
the X Window System, it may be also used by other consumers of font data (such
|
||
|
as printer drivers).

Clients communicate with the font server using the request/reply/event model

etc.). Font servers are responsible for providing data in the bit and byte
|
||
|
orders requested by the client. The set of requests and events provided in the
|
||
|
first version of the X Font Service protocol is limited to supporting the needs
|
||
|
of the bitmap-oriented core X Window System protocol. Extensions are expected
|
||

as new needs evolve.

A font server reads raw font data from a variety of sources (possibly
|
||
|
including other font servers) and converts it into a common format that is
|
||
|
transmitted to the client using the protocol described in
|
||
|
<link linkend='Protocol'>Section 4</link>. New font
|
||
|
formats are handled by adding new converters to a font server, as shown in
|
||
|
Figure 2.2.

Clients may provide authorization data for the server to be used in determining
|

|
(according to the server's licensing policy) whether or not access should be
|

|
granted to particular fonts. This is particularly useful for clients whose

authorization changes over time (such as an X server that can verify the

identity of the user).

Implementations that wish to provide additional requests or events may use the

accompanying change in the major or minor version numbers) is reserved to the X

Font clients that expose font server names to the user are encouraged to
|

|
provide ways of naming font servers symbolically (e.g. DEPARTMENT-FONTS).
|
||
|
However, for environments that lack appropriate name services
|
||
|
transport-specific names are necessary. Since these names do occur in the
|
||
|
protocol, clients and servers should support at least the applicable formats
|
||

described below. Formats for additional transports may be registered with the

X Consortium.

In order to preserve the integrity of font licensing being performed by
|
||
|
the font server, care must be taken by a client to properly represent the
|
||
|
identity of the true user of the font. Some font clients will in fact
|
||
|
be servers (for example, X servers) requesting fonts for their own clients.
|
||
|
Other font clients may be doing work on behalf of a number of different
|
||
|
users over time (for example, print spoolers).

The <parameter>MAJOR-OPCODE</parameter> specifies which core request or

extension package this packet represents. If the

||
|
<parameter>MAJOR-OPCODE</parameter> corresponds to a core request, the
|
||
|
<parameter>MINOR-OPCODE</parameter> contains 8 bits of request-specific data.
|
||
|
Otherwise, the <parameter>MINOR-OPCODE</parameter> specifies which extension
|
||
|
request this packet represents. The <parameter>LENGTH</parameter> field
|
||
|
specifies the number of 4-byte units contained within the packet
|
||
|
and must be at least one. If this field contains a value greater than one it
|
||
|
is followed by (<parameter>LENGTH</parameter> - 1) * 4 bytes
|

of request-specific data. Unless

otherwise specified, unused bytes are not required to be zero.

If a request packet contains too little or too much data, the server returns
|
||
|
a <link linkend="Errors:Length"><errorname>Length</errorname></link> error.
|
||
|
If the server runs out of internal
|
||
|
resources (such as memory) while processing a request, it returns an
|
||
|
<link linkend="Errors:Alloc"><errorname>Alloc</errorname></link> error.
|
||
|
If a server is deficient (and therefore non-compliant) and is unable to
|
||
|
process a request, it may return an
|
||
|
<link linkend="Errors:Implementation"><errorname>Implementation</errorname></link> error.
|
||
|
If a client uses an extension request without previously having issued a
|
||
|
<link linkend="Requests:QueryExtension"><function>QueryExtension</function></link>
|
||
|
request for that extension, the server responds with a
|
||
|
<link linkend="Errors:Request"><errorname>Request</errorname></link>
|
||
|
error. If the server encounters a request with an unknown
|
||
|
<parameter>MAJOR-OPCODE</parameter> or <parameter>MINOR-OPCODE</parameter>,
|
||
|
it responds with a
|
||
|
<link linkend="Errors:Request"><errorname>Request</errorname></link>
|
||
|
error.
|
||
|
At most one error is generated per request. If more than one error condition
|

is encountered in processing a requests, the choice of which error is returned
|
||
|
is server-dependent.

If the server is willing and able to detect that the client
|
||
|
has already opened the font successfully (possibly under a
|
||
|
different name), the <parameter>OTHERID</parameter> field
|
||
|
may be set to one of the
|
||
|
identifiers previously used to open the font. The
|
||
|
<parameter>OTHERID-VALID</parameter> field indicates whether or not
|
||
|
<parameter>OTHERID</parameter> is still associated with an open font:
|
||
|
if it is <constant>True</constant>, the client may use
|
||
|
<parameter>OTHERID</parameter> as an alternative to
|
||
|
<parameter>FONTID</parameter>. Otherwise, if
|
||
|
<parameter>OTHERID-VALID</parameter> is <constant>False</constant>,
|
||
|
<parameter>OTHERID</parameter> is no longer
|
||
|
open but has not been reused by a subsequent
|
||
|
<function>OpenBitmapFont</function>
|
||

request.

to <constant>False</constant>.

The <parameter>FORMAT-MASK</parameter> indicates which fields in

<parameter>FORMAT-HINT</parameter>
|

|
the client is likely to use in subsequent
|
||
|
<function>GetXBitmaps8</function>
|
||
|
and
|
||
|
<function>GetXBitmaps16</function>
|

requests. Servers may wish to use

this information to precompute certain values.

<para>

If <parameter>CACHABLE</parameter> is set to <constant>True</constant>,
|
||

the client may cache the font
|
||
|
(so that redundant opens of the same font may be avoided)
|
||
|
and use it with all
|
||
|
<type>AccessContext</type>s
|
||
|
during the life of the
|
||
|
client without violating the font's licensing policy. This
|
||
|
flag is typically set whenever a font is unlicensed or is
|
||
|
licensed on a per-display basis. If <parameter>CACHABLE</parameter>
|
||
|
is <constant>False</constant>, the
|
||
|
client should reopen the font for each
|
||
|
<type>AccessContext</type>.

The server is free to return the glyph bitmaps in multiple
|
||
|
replies to reduce the amount of buffering that is necessary.
|
||
|
In this situation, the set of characters obtained above is
|
||
|
partitioned into an implementation-dependent number of
|
||
|
ordered, non-overlapping subsets containing runs of one or
|
||
|
more consecutive characters. The global ordering of
|
||
|
characters must be maintained such that concatenating the
|
||
|
subsets in order that they were produced yields the original
|
||
|
set. A reply is generated for each subset, in the order that
|
||
|
it was produced.
|
||
|
</para>
|
||
|
<para>
|
||
|
For each character in a subset, an image of that character's
|
||
|
glyph is described by a rectangle of bits corresponding to the
|
||
|
pixels specified by FORMAT.IMAGE-RECT. Within the image, set
|
||
|
and clear bits represent inked and non-inked pixels,
|
||
|
respectively.
|
||
|
</para>
|
||
|
<para>
|
||
|
Each scanline of a glyph image, from top to bottom, is zero-padded
|
||
|
on the right to a multiple of the number of bits specified by
|
||
|
FORMAT.SCANLINE-PAD. The scanline is then divided from left
|
||
|
to right into a sequence of FORMAT.SCANLINE-UNIT bits. The
|
||
|
bits of each unit are then arranged such that the left-most
|
||
|
pixel is stored in the most- or least-significant bit,
|
||
|
according to FORMAT.BIT-ORDER-MSB. The bytes of each unit are
|
||
|
then arranged such that the most- or least-significant byte,
|
||
|
according to FORMAT.BYTE-ORDER-MSB, is transmitted first.
|
||
|
Finally, the units are arranged such that the left-most is
|
||
|
transmitted first and the right-most is transmitted last.
|
||
|
</para>
|
||
|
<para>
|
||
|
The individual images within a subset are then concatenated in
|
||
|
a server-dependent order to form the <parameter>BITMAPS</parameter> data
|
||
|
of the reply. If a glyph image is duplicated within a reply, the
|
||
|
server is free to return fewer (but at least one) copies of
|
||
|
the image. If a character is not encoded within the font, a
|
||
|
zero-length bitmap is substituted for this character. Each
|
||
|
glyph image must begin at a bit position that is a multiple of
|
||
|
the FORMAT.SCANLINE-UNIT.
|
||
|
</para>
|
||
|
<para>
|
||
|
The <parameter>OFFSETS</parameter> array in a reply contains one entry
|
||
|
for each character in the subset being returned, in the order that the
|
||
|
characters appear in the subset. Each entry specifies the
|

The TYPE field has a value of one. The ERROR-CODE field specifies which error
|
||
|
occurred. Core errors codes are in the range 0 through 127, extension error
|
||
|
codes are in the range 128 through 255. The SEQUENCE-NUMBER field contains the
|
||
|
least significant 16 bits of the sequence number of the request that caused the
|
||
|
error. The LENGTH field specifies the length of the error packet in 4-byte
|
||
|
units and must have a value of at least 4. The TIMESTAMP specifies the server
|
||
|
time when the error occurred. The MAJOR-OPCODE and MINOR-OPCODE (zero for core
|
||
|
requests) fields specify the type of request that generated the error. The
|
||
|
DATA-OR-UNUSED field may be used for 16 bits of error-specific information. If
|
||
|
LENGTH is greater than four, these fields are followed by (LENGTH - 4) * 4
|
||
|
bytes of extra data.

The authorization data passed by the client in the initial connection
|
||
|
setup information may be used by the font server to implement restrictions
|
||
|
on which fonts may be accessed. Furthermore, the font server is free to
|
||
|
refuse new connections at any time.
|

|
</para>
|

Configuration or management of the license restrictions is outside the scope of
|
||
|
the font service protocol and is done in a server-dependent manner. Possible
|
||
|
policies might include, but are not limited to, combinations of the following:

Font server implementations will probably wish to use techniques such as the

|
following to avoid limits on the number of simultaneous connections:

The initial connection information returned by the font
|
||
|
server contains the names of other font servers that
|
||
|
may be used as substitutes. A font server may refuse to
|
||
|
accept a connection, indicating that the client should
|
||
|
try one of the alternatives instead.

On operating systems that support processing forking, font
|
||
|
servers might choose to fork so that the child can continue
|
||
|
processing the existing connections and the parent can accept
|
||
|
new connections. Such implementations are encouraged to use
|
||
|
shared memory so that in-memory font databases can be shared.

On operating systems that support passing stream file descriptors
|
||
|
between processes, cooperating font servers could collect
|
||
|
connections in a single process when there are few connections
|
||
|
and spread them among several processes as the load increases.

If a font client is unable to connect to a server (as opposed
|
||
|
to having the connection terminated), it should retry for an
|
||
|
implementation-dependent length of time (see Xlib's
|
||
|
handling of ECONNREFUSED in XConnDis.c).
