be moved to "freetype2/src/base" soon and become part
of the library.
changes include:
- fixed a bug which prevented large spans being drawn correctly.
- now renders large glyphs that overflow the render pool.
- various performance enhancements. the renderer now
renders large glyphs with much greater speed :-)
- also faster with small glyphs ..
future plans:
- fix a vertical-dropout bug in the standard raster (b&w)
- write a demonstration program to demonstrate direct
composition..
- there is now a "convenience" API to manage glyphs in
"include/ftglyph.h". See the demo program "ftstring" for
an example..
- the raster interface has been changed in order to allow
direct composition through user-provided callbacks. This
has been tested but isn't demonstrated for now in "demos"
- the FT_LOAD_NO_RECURSE flag is supported, as this is
required by some new code in the auto-hinting engine
- some bug fixed in FT_MulFix which made FT_xxx_Transform
return incorrect results..
API (see include/ftglyph.h).
Supports kerning, rotation, sub-pixel rendering..
Could be easily modified to reach the level of strtto when
we have the relevant OpenType module handy..
of segments used to decompose a bezier curve, we get rid
of the "fuzz-fuzz" factor.
it's also faster than the standard renderer after tweaking.
Note that it isn't completed yet..
- ft_done_stream: remove the FREE(pathname) call, which wasn't
kosher
- FT_Open_Face: after calling open_face, don't assume driver is
the same as face->driver, use face->driver instead
fixed:
. Removing unused variables.
. detect.mk files now must provide $(CONFIG_FILE) and not $(CONFIG_RULE).
. ansi.mk will now be really used as a fallback if the detect mechanism
fails.
. ANSIFLAGS will now be really used (fixing a typo).
. `make clean' now works (again two typos).
. Detection of gcc on Unix has been fixed (using the `-v' option instead of
`--version').
. `make devel' now works (on Unix).
. Fixing *again* a bug in demos/graph/x11/rules.mk to allow multiple use
of `-L' compiler options.
. $(BASE_H) now contains a few more header files.
As usual, a lot of formatting (not finished yet).
