CHANGES BETWEEN 2.8.1 and 2.8.2
|
||||
|
||||
I. IMPORTANT BUG FIXES
|
||||
|
||||
- Advance width values of variation fonts were often wrong.
|
||||
|
||||
- More fixes for variation font support; you should update to this
|
||||
version if you want to support them.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
II. IMPORTANT CHANGES
|
||||
|
||||
- As a GSoC project, Ewald Hew extended the new (Adobe) CFF engine
|
||||
to handle Type 1 fonts also, thus greatly improving the
|
||||
rendering of this format. This is the new default. The old
|
||||
engine is still available if the configuration macro
|
||||
`T1_CONFIG_OPTION_OLD_ENGINE' gets defined; using the
|
||||
`hinting-engine' property of the `type1' driver module you can
|
||||
then switch between the two engines.
|
||||
|
||||
- A new function, `FT_Set_Named_Instance', can be used to set or
|
||||
change the current named instance.
|
||||
|
||||
- Starting with this FreeType version, resetting variation
|
||||
coordinates will return to the currently selected named
|
||||
instance. Previously, FreeType returned to the base font (i.e.,
|
||||
no instance set).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
III. MISCELLANEOUS
|
||||
|
||||
- The `face_flags' field of the `FT_Face' structure has a new bit,
|
||||
`FT_FACE_FLAG_VARIATION', which is set if a variation font has
|
||||
been altered with `FT_Set_MM_Design_Coordinates',
|
||||
`FT_Set_Var_Design_Coordinates', or
|
||||
`FT_Set_Var_Blend_Coordinates'.
|
||||
|
||||
- If the current face is a named instance, the new macro
|
||||
`FT_IS_NAMED_INSTANCE' returns true.
|
||||
|
||||
- `FT_IS_VARIATION' is a new macro that returns true whenever a
|
||||
face object has been altered by `FT_Set_MM_Design_Coordinates',
|
||||
`FT_Set_Var_Design_Coordinates', or
|
||||
`FT_Set_Var_Blend_Coordinates'.
|
||||
|
||||
- Changing the design coordinates of a variation font with
|
||||
`FT_Set_Var_Design_Coordinates' or
|
||||
`FT_Set_Var_Blend_Coordinates' does not influence the named
|
||||
instance index value (only `FT_Set_Named_Instance' does that).
|
||||
|
||||
- Special PostScript names for named instances are only returned
|
||||
if the named instance is set with `FT_Set_Named_Instance' (and
|
||||
the font has corresponding entries in its `fvar' table). If
|
||||
`FT_IS_VARIATION' returns true, the algorithmically derived
|
||||
PostScript name is provided, not looking up special entries for
|
||||
named instances.
|
||||
|
||||
- On platforms using the `configure' script, the installed
|
||||
`ftoption.h' file now correctly reflects configuration options
|
||||
like `--with-harfbuzz'.
|
||||
|
||||
- Better support to build FreeType as a DLL on Windows using
|
||||
Visual C.
|
||||
|
||||
- All data specific to driver modules is now collected in a single
|
||||
file, `FT_DRIVER_H'. Consequently, the macros
|
||||
`FT_AUTOHINTER_H', `FT_CFF_DRIVER_H', `FT_TRUETYPE_DRIVER_H',
|
||||
and `FT_PCF_DRIVER_H' still work but are deprecated.
|
||||
|
||||
- Some fuzzer fixes to better reject malformed fonts.
