Re: Glyph Outlines in Trace Driver

Ken,

How do I determine which transforms I need to apply? 
Where are they stored (I know where ctm is and how to access it)? 
In the gs_font structure I see a gs_matrix FontMatrix, and gs_matrix orig_FontMatrix, as well as the same matrices held in the gs_font *base entry as well as the gs_font *next and prev. There are such a large number of possible matrices and I haven't been able to find a good description of them in the code or the documents online.
Is there a set of code which sets everything up to append the path to the path provided in text_begin? 
Maybe there is a better way of doing this where some function already appends everything to the path and then I can catch it on the tail end?

The end goal is to just grab the text outline and dump it like any other paths in the trace driver, I may be chasing the wrong solution entirely. Feel free to say that as well.

Thank you,
