defined.
* src/sfnt/ttmtx.c (tt_face_load_hmtx, tt_face_get_metrics): Fix
possible segment faults for the non-FT_OPTIMIZE_MEMORY'ed versions.
(finally!)
For most OpenType tables, `tt_face_load_xxxx' simply loads the table
and `face->root' is set later in `sfnt_load_face'. Here, we try to
make this work for _all_ tables.
* src/sfnt/ttsbit.c, src/sfnt/ttsbit0.c, src/sfnt/ttload.c,
src/sfnt/ttmtx.c: all `tt_face_load_xxxx' should load the table and
then exit. Error handling or setting face->root is done later in
`sfnt_load_face'.
Pretty trace messages.
* src/sfnt/sfobjs.c (sfnt_load_face): Work harder.
Mac bitmap-only fonts are not scalable.
Check that `face->header.Units_Per_EM' is not zero.

the others. This also means that TTC is no longer recognized there,
but in `init_face'.
* include/freetype/internal/sfnt.h (SFNT_Interface),

combined and renamed to `load_font_dir'.
* src/sfnt/ttload.h, src/sfnt/ttload.c:
s/sfnt_dir_check/check_table_dir/.
`sfnt_init' is moved to sfobjs.c and renamed to `sfnt_open_font'.
`tt_face_load_sfnt_header' and `tt_face_load_directory' are combined
and renamed to `tt_face_load_font_dir'.

after the tables' tags; `hdmx' is TrueType-specific and thus the code
is moved to the truetype module; `get_metrics' is moved here from the
truetype module so that the code can be shared with the cff module.
This pass involves no real changes. That is, the code is moved
verbatim mostly. The only exception is the return value of
`tt_face_get_metrics'.

src/sfnt/ttsbit.h, src/sfnt/ttsbit0.c: Clean up the SFNT_Interface.
* src/sfnt/ttmtx.c, src/sfnt/ttmtx.h: Metrics-related tables' loading
and parsing code is moved here.
Move `tt_face_get_metrics' here from the truetype module. The return
value is changed from `void' to `FT_Error'.
* include/freetype/internal/fttrace.h: New trace: ttmtx.
* src/truetype/ttpload.c, src/truetype/ttpload.h: `hdmx' loading and
parsing code is moved here.
New function `tt_face_load_prep' splitted from `tt_face_load_fpgm'.
`tt_face_load_fpgm' returns `FT_Err_Ok' if `fpgm' doesn't exist.

* src/truetype/ttgload.c, src/truetype/ttobjs.c: Update.
sufficient to modify a single file, `modules.cfg', to control the
inclusion of modules and base extension files.
This change also fixes the creation of ftmodule.h; it now depends on
`modules.cfg' and thus is rebuilt only if necessary.
Finally, a version of `ftoption.h' in OBJ_DIR is preferred over the
default location.
* modules.cfg: New file.
* builds/freetype.mk: Don't include `modules.mk'.
Include all `rules.mk' files as specified in `modules.cfg'.

* builds/modules.mk: (MODULE_LIST): Removed.
(make_module_list, clean_module_list): Replace targets
with...
(FTMODULE_H_INIT, FTMODULE_H_CREATE, FTMODULE_H_DONE): New
variables. Reason for the change is that it is not possible to have
a phony prerequisite which is run only if the target file must be
rebuilt (phony prerequisites act like subroutines and are *always*
executed). We only want to rebuild `ftmodule.h' if `module.cfg' is
changed.
Update all callers.
($FTMODULE_H)): Rule to create `ftmodule.h', depending on
`modules.cfg'.
* builds/toplevel.mk: Rewrite and simplify module handling.
(MODULES_CFG, FTMODULE_H): New variables.
Include MODULES_CFG.

builds/win32/w32-bccd.mk, builds/win32/w32-dev.mk: Don't define
BUILD_DIR but DEVEL_DIR for development header files.

`Ascender', and `Descender' from an AFM.

changed after file attachment.
the warp hinter isn't active (it shouldn't, still experimental)
* Jamfile, include/freetype/config/ftmodule.h: removed "gxvalid"
and "otvalid" from the list of modules that are linked statically
to a given FreeType library. Functionality has been moved to the
"ftvalid" CVS module.
note also that current Make-based build system still compiles the

* include/freetype/internal/ftobjs.h (FT_Select_Metrics,
FT_Request_Metrics), src/base/ftobjs.c (FT_Select_Metrics,
FT_Request_Metrics): New base functions to set the font metrics. They
were part of FT_Select_Size/FT_Request_Size and are made independent
functions so that metrics are not set again and again.
* src/base/ftobjs.c (FT_Select_Size, FT_Request_Size): Metrics are set
only when driver's size_select/size_request is NULL. That is, drivers
should set the metrics themselves.

does cause some problems without rounding.

The scaled metrics are always preferred over strikes' metrics, even
when some strike is selected. This is done because the strikes'
metrics are not reliable, e.g., the sign of the descender is wrong for
some fonts.

src/sfnt/Jamfile, src/sfnt/rules.mk, src/sfnt/sfdriver.c,
src/sfnt/ttbdf.h, src/sfnt/ttbdf.c, src/sfnt/sfobjs.c:
Added support for an embedded 'BDF ' table within SFNT-based
bitmap font files. This is used to store atoms & properties from
the original BDF fonts that were used to generate the font file.
the feature is controled by TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BDF within 'ftoption.h'
and is used to implement FT_Get_BDF_Property for these font files.
At the moment, this is still experimental, the BDF table format isn't
cast into stone yet.

ft_glyphslot_grid_fit_metrics.
* src/truetype/ttgload.c (compute_glyph_metrics): Use
ft_glyphslot_grid_fit_metrics.
* src/cff/cffgload.c (cff_slot_load), src/cid/cidgload.c

FT_Outline_Get_CBox is called twice.
* src/base/ftsynth.c (FT_GlyphSlot_Embolden): Modify metrics to more
reasonable values when emboldening outline glyphs. The theoretic
ones are unrealistic.
(CFLAGS), builds/compiler/gcc.mk (CFLAGS): Remove
-fno-strict-aliasing.
Say you have `(Foo*)x' and want to assign, pass, or return it as
`(Bar*)'. If you simply say `x' or `(Bar*)x', then the C compiler
would warn you that type casting incompatible pointer types breaks
strict-aliasing. The solution is to cast to `(void*)' instead which
is the generic pointer type, so the compiler knows that it should
make no strict-aliasing assumption on `x'. But the problem with
`(void*)x' is that seems like in C++, unlike C, `void*' is not a
generic pointer type and assigning `void*' to `Bar*' without a cast
causes an error. The solution is to cast to `Bar*' too, with
`(Bar*)(void*)x' as the result -- this is what the patch does.
* include/freetype/cache/ftccache.h (FTC_CACHE_LOOKUP_CMP),
include/freetype/cache/ftcmru.h (FTC_MRULIST_LOOKUP_CMP): Remove

used to reduce the amount of heap size required to only test wether
we're dealing with a BDF font (the old code allocated 64 Kb right
before any test).
* src/lzw/ftlzw.c (FT_Stream_OpenLZW): modified the function to check
the LZW header before doing anything else. This helps avoid un-necessary
heap allocations (400 Kb of heap memory for the LZW decoder ! Oh my !)
* src/gzip/ftgzip.c (FT_Stream_OpenGZip): ditto for the .gz decoder,
though the code savings is smaller.
Fix serious typo which prevented correct TT rendering.
* include/freetype/internal/ftmemory.h: Undo change from 2005-03-03.
To suppress warnings it is sufficient to use `-fno-strict-aliasing'.

* src/sfnt/sfobjs.c: fixed bug that prevented loading SFNT fonts without
a 'kern' table.
drastically reduce the heap usage of FreeType, especially in the case
of memory-mapped files. The idea is to avoid loading and decoding tables
in the heap, and instead access the raw data whenever possible (i.e.
when it doesn't compromise performance).
This had several impacts: first, opening vera.ttf uses a ridiculous amount
of memory (when the FT_Library footprint is accounted for), until you start
loading glyphs. Even then, you'll save at least 20 Kb compared to the non
optimized case. performance of various operations, including open/close
has also been dramatically improved.
More optimisations to come. The auto-hinter eats memory like crazy? This
must be stopped...
