iText 0.30 (February 14, 2000)
- Some errors in the metrics are corrected using an AFM-parser written by Stefan Mainz.
- I made some changes in the class PdfFont. Some methods are moved to the class PdfFontMetrics. I also solved a bug submitted by Brent Stains, who had a list of names that he'd liked to put in a single cell. The HTML equivalent was "<TD>name1<BR> name2<BR>....</TD>".
- If you ran the old Test-class on a PC (Windows), character 128 to 159 is replaced by a question mark. I solved this problem by specifying the encoding (latin1) when I invoke getBytes() or when I construct a new String.
- The use of color is added to the library
- I made some new classes in package com.lowagie.text:
- class Anchor extends Phrase implements Element
- class BadElementException extends DocumentException
- class Cell extends Rectangle implements Element
- class Chapter extends Section implements Element
- class Chunk implements Element
- interface DocListener extends EventListener
- class Document implements DocListener
- class DocumentException extends Exception
- abstract class DocWriter implements DocListener
