- Global size metrics values in the `FT_Size_Metrics' structure
|
||||||
|
can be different for TrueType fonts. Reason is that in older
|
||||||
|
FreeType versions the metrics were rounded differently to
|
||||||
|
integer pixels compared to all other font formats, yielding an
|
||||||
|
inconsistent behaviour if you used non-native hinting. Starting
|
||||||
|
with this version, global size metrics for TrueType fonts are
|
||||||
|
handled the same as other font formats: `ascender' gets rounded
|
||||||
|
up, `descender' gets rounded down, `height' gets normally
|
||||||
|
rounded, and `max_advance' gets normally rounded, too.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you need more precise values of (global) ascender, descender,
|
||||||
|
height, or `max_advance', please take the corresponding values
|
||||||
|
from the `FT_Face' structure and scale them manually.
