FontForge is an outline font editor that lets you create your own postscript, truetype, opentype, cid-keyed, multi-master, cff, svg and bitmap (bdf) fonts, or edit existing ones.
Also lets you convert one format to another. FontForge has support for many macintosh font formats.
FontForges user interface has been localized for: (English), Russian, Japanese, French, Italian, Spanish.
With the appropriate libraries, FontForge can import png, tiff, and gif images to act as character backgrounds for tracing purposes (FontForge can import bmp and xbm formats without external libraries).
With libxml2 FontForge can read SVG fonts. With the freetype library FontForge will do a better job making bitmap characters for you.
None is required for the proper compilation/execution of FontForge, if the libraries are not present they will not be used.
Enhancements:
- Support has been added for version 2 of the Spline Font DB format.

ObjStore is a Perl extension for ObjectStore OODBMS.

SYNOPSIS

Like perl? Sick of SQL? Ready to try something new? This extension implements something like a relational database management system, except that s/SQL/Perl/ig.

ObjectStore is the market leader in object-oriented databases http://www.odi.com (NASDAQ: ODIS). They use a unique Cache-Forward Architecture to make persistent data available in literally the most efficient manner possible.

Prior to this joining of forces

ObjectStore was too radical a design decision for many applications
Perl5 did not have a simple way of storing complex data persistently

Now there is an easy way to build database applications (especially if you are concerned about preserving your ideals of encapsulation).

ReadySET is an open source project to produce and maintain a library of reusable software engineering document templates.
These templates provide a ready starting point for the documents used in software development projects. Using good templates can help developers work more quickly, but they also help to prompt discussion and avoid oversights.
This is an open source project that you are welcome to use for free and help make better. Existing packages of software engineering templates are highly costly and biased by the authorship of only a few people, by vendor-client relationships, or by the set of tools offered by a particular vendor.
These templates are in pure XHTML with CSS, not a proprietary file format. That makes them easier to edit and to track changes using freely available tools and version control systems. The templates are designed to always be used on the web; they use hyperlinks to avoid duplicating information.
The templates are not burdened with information about individual authorship or document change history. It is assumed that professional software developers will keep all project documents in version control systems that provide those capabilities.
These templates are not one-size-fits-all and they do not attempt to provide prescriptive guidance on the overall development process. We are developing a broad library of template modules for many purposes and processes.
The templates may be filled out in a suggested sequence or in any sequence that fits your existing process. They may be easily customized with any text or HTML editor.
Main features:
- High-quality outlines, sample text, and checklists.
- Uses simple web technologies: Pure XHTML and CSS.
- Templates for many common software engineering documents. Including:
- Project proposal template
- Project plan template
- Use case template
- QA plan template
- Several design templates
- System test case template
- Release checklist template

IOLib-Filters is a filter package for IOLib. IOLib-Filters is mainly an example of how to write filters for IOLib.

IOLib is a portable universal data IO library. Implementations exist in C, C++ and Objective C and for many different platforms (including Linux, Win32, MacOS X and .NET).

IOLib provides a unified interface for accessing different types of data streams. It currently supports file IO, BSD sockets, memory buffers and SOCKS4/5 connections and can be extended with drivers easily.

It has support for different binary formats (Intel, Motorola, PDP) and it supports filters. You can write your own filters (e.g. for encryption or compression) and use them with IOLib.

xmms-cueinfo is a plugin for XMMS that adds support for reading cue files. Cue files describe what tracks a single audio file contains, including performer and title information.

This makes it possible to rip a full CD into a single audio file. (The reason people do this is because of the audible gaps that occur when the software switches between two files.

However, these gaps are generally shorter in unix-based operating systems than in Windows due to the simpler file I/O subsystem. There are also no-gap plugins for many players now, so there arent really any good reasons for ripping CDs like this nowadays.) xmms-cueinfo also makes it easy to seek to each track mentioned in the cue file.
