f13effec22 doc: add the option to generate an uncompressed PDF
An uncompressed PDF is about twice as big, but if one is using an
external compression program (e.g. .pdf.xz) it compresses far better.
Use it for the RPM specfile.

e8a9041c58 doc/Makefile.in: drop nasmdoc.ps as a usable documentation file
There is no sane reason to use nasmdoc.ps over nasmdoc.pdf since, oh,
about 20 years.  nasmdoc.ps doesn't embed the fonts (and if it did, it
would be very large, whereas nasmdoc.pdf only contains the characters
we explicitly need), and support for PDF is generally much better than
support for PostScript.

It also makes the distribution file smaller to not have two redundant
files.

ceabd83dcf doc: fix fonts where the scale (unitsPerEm) is not 1000
AFM metrics always have 1000 font units to a scaled PostScript point,
but TTF/OTF doesn't have to.  The easiest way (and the one which
best avoids unnecessary rounding) is to store the scale in the
metrics, and change pswidth.ph to return the width in PostScript
points instead of font units.

70b070f952 doc: improve the look of the documentation with better fonts
Use the Adobe Source Sans/Code Pro fonts by default.  They are Open
Source fonts by Adobe.  However, since these fonts are quite large,
let them be an external dependency and do our best to try to find them
with whatever mechanism is available on the system for finding
standard fonts.

Also have a list of substitution fonts if necessary.

841d904f88 perl: change to the new, safer 3-operand form of open()
The 2-operand form was inherently unsafe.  Use the 3-operand form
instead, which guarantees that arbitrary filenames are supported.

This also means we can remove a few instances of sysopen() which was
used for exactly this reason, however, at least in theory sysopen()
isn't portable.

Furthermore, make *all* warnings suppressible; any warning that isn't
categorized now belong to category "other".  However, for cleanliness
sake an "other" option does not get listed in the warning messages.

aa958b1ab6 ifunc.mac: the ilog2 warning may want to be both ceil and floor
There is no reason why the warning-generating ilog2 has to be only the
floor variant.  However, I am pretty sure we can simply implement the
ilog2cw() as a macro only; we can always fix that if that turns out to
be incorrect.

5e43bfef24 doc: include kerning tables in the metrics headers
Output the kerning tables in the metrics headers.  This will hopefully
make it possible to support kerning later (e.g. using the PostScript kshow
operator with some kind of kerning function.)

Note: the previous ordering of the metrics output was sensitive to the
particular hashing algorithm used in that version of Perl.  This
version sorts them in order to keep them stable, but which obviously
completely changes the (otherwise unmodified) widths part of the output.
