\reflectbox ? #1035
Comments
Is it actually mirrored or would a 180 spin work just as well? |
Hmm. I mean, it might be noticeable in some fonts, if the E bar is not exactly centered. |
U+018E perhaps? Ǝ |
Thanks @DavidLRowe , I mentioned it in the first post :-)
I'm trying to make a logos package for SILE. In LaTeX it's pretty normal to typeset the logo in any font, so that's why I'm asking. It seems more fonts have U+018E than I thought: Gentium Pro, EB Garamond, Noto Serif, etc., all have it, so maybe it's not such a big deal to try to support those without. After all, you have to use a robust text face with SILE to really take advantage of it, so I'm not sure I care about people who aren't. ;-) I'll just provide -CM versions, like |
Implementing \reflectbox would certainly be an interesting project for anyone who wants to learn about output drivers. :-) You would want to look into how the graphics package works in xetex, since we are effectively using xetex's output backend as a library. Here's something from \def\Gscale@start{%
\special{pdf:btrans}%
\special{x:scale \Gscale@x\GPT@space\Gscale@y}%
}
...
\def\Gscale@end{\special{pdf:etrans}} Now, how do we get those specials into the PDF? libtexpdf doesn't support specials directly, so you need to look at their implementation in |
@simoncozens Cool idea. For now I decided to just use Ǝ and do the rotate, but I'll keep it in mind ! Here are all the major LaTeX logos in SILE format: |
I have macros for \LaTeX and \SILE. Is it possible to typeset the XeTeX and XeLaTeX logos, which has flipped ‹E›'s?
I suppose I need to make a custom font with a flipped E, Ǝ, if it doesn't exist in the font? Or...
XƎLaTeX / XƎTeX ?
