y_scale so that the top of non-capital letters is aligned on a pixel
boundary whenever possible.
* src/autohint/ahhint.c (ah_hint_edges): Make sure that lowercase
m's maintain their symmetry.
* README.UNX: removed (now replaced by docs/INSTALL.UNX)
* src/pshinter/pshalgo3.c: the hinter now performs as in 2.1.3 and
will ignore stem quantization only when FT_LOAD_TARGET_SMOOTH is used
* src/base/ftobjs.c: changed the default computations to include rounding
in all cases, this is required to provide accurate kerning data when
native TrueType hinting is enabled.
* src/type1/t1load.c: the Type 1 loader now accepts more general names
according to the Postscript spec (the previous one was too restrictive)
debug mode of template instantiation
* src/cff/cffparse.c: fixed the CFF table loader. It didn't accept
empty arrays, and this prevented the loading of certain fonts.
* src/pshinter/pshalgo2.c, src/pshinter/pshalgo3.c: adding fix to
prevent seg fault when hints are provided in an empty glyph !!
* include/freetype/ftimage.h: removed incorrect "zft_" definitions
and updated constants documentation comments
* include/freetype/freetype.h (FT_FaceRec): updating documentation
comment. The "descender" value is always *negative*, not positive !
include/freetype/config/ftmodule.h: updated to correctly support
sub-pixel rendering
* include/freetype/cache/ftcimage.h, include/freetype/cache/ftcsbits.h,
src/cache/ftcimage.c, src/cache/ftcsbit.c: updated to support sub-pixel
rendering correctly. Definition of FTC_ImageTypeRec that replaces the
obsolete FTC_ImageDesc, and has slightly different fields. The
image type is now determined directly by "load_flags" values.
* src/autohint/ahtypes.h, src/autohint/ahhint.c,
src/pshinter/pshalgo3.c, src/pshinter/pshalgo3.h: various enhancements
to the automatic and Postscript hinters !! and sub-pixel hinting now
works correctly (see demo programs)
to slightly increase the contrast of smooth hinting. This is very similar
to what the auto-hinter does when it comes to stem width computations.
However, it produces better results with well-hinted fonts..
want to list them all here. The operations performed were all logical
transformations of the sources:
- trying to convert all enums and constants to CAPITALIZED_STYLE, with
#define definitions like
#define my_old_constants MY_NEW_CONSTANT
- big, big update of the documentation comments
* include/freetype/freetype.h, src/base/ftobjs.c, src/smooth/ftsmooth.c,
include/freetype/ftimage.h: adding support for LCD-optimized rendering
though the new constants/enums:
FT_RENDER_MODE_LCD, FT_RENDER_MODE_LCD_V
FT_PIXEL_MODE_LCD, FT_PIXEL_MODE_LCD_V
this is still work in progress, don't expect everything to work correctly
though most of the features have been implemented.
* adding new FT_LOAD_XXX flags, used to specify both hinting and rendering
targets:
FT_LOAD_TARGET_NORMAL :: anti-aliased hinting & rendering
FT_LOAD_TARGET_MONO :: monochrome bitmaps
FT_LOAD_TARGET_LCD :: horizontal RGB/BGR decimated hinting & rendering
FT_LOAD_TARGET_LCD_V :: vertical RGB/BGR decimated hinting & rendering
note that FT_LOAD_TARGET_NORMAL is 0, which means that the default
behaviour of the font engine is _unchanged_.
src/autohint/ahangles.h, src/autohint/ahglyph.c, src/autohint/ahhint.c,
src/autohint/ahtypes.h: the automatic and Postscript hinter now
automatically detect inflection points in glyph outlines and treats
them specially. This is very useful to prevent nasty effect like the
disappearing diagonals of "S" and "s" in many, many fonts..
freetype/internal/ftobjs.h, freetype/internal/psaux.h,
freetype/internal/pshints.h, src/psaux/t1decode.c, src/cff/cffgload.h,
src/cff/cffgload.c, src/pshinter/pshalgo1.h, src/pshinter/pshalgo1.c,
src/pshinter/pshalgo2.h, src/pshinter/pshalgo2.c, src/pshinter/pshalgo3.h,
src/pshinter/pshalgo3.c: Adding support for hinter-specific bit flags,
and the new FT_Set_Hint_Flags high-level API
