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_.
the SFNT loader to check for SFNT-based font files differently. We now
ignore the range "helper" fields and check the "head" table's magic
number instead.
src/sfnt/sfobjs.c, src/sfnt/sfdriver.c, src/base/ftnames.c:
fixing the SFNT name table loader to support various buggy fonts.
it now ignores empty name entries, entries with invalid pointer
offsets and certain fonts containing tables with broken "storageOffset"
fields.
name strings are now loaded on demand, which reduces the memory
requirements for a given FT_Face tremendously (for example, the
name table of Arial.ttf is about 10Kb and contains 70 names !!)
finally, this is a _quick_ fix. The whole name table loader and
interface will be rewritten in a much more cleanly way shortly,
once CSEH have been introduced in the sources.

added the new configuration file "ftstdlib.h" used to define
aliases for all ISO C library functions used by the engine
(e.g. strlen, qsort, setjmp, etc...)
this eases the porting of FreeType 2 to exotic environments like
XFree86 modules/extensions..
also removed many #include <string.h>, #include <stdlib.h>, etc...
from the engine's sources where they're not needed..
changed the names of memory macros. Examples:
MEM_Set => FT_MEM_SET
MEM_Copy => FT_MEM_COPY
MEM_Move => FT_MEM_MOVE
ALLOC => FT_ALLOC
FREE => FT_FREE
REALLOC = >FT_REALLOC
FT_NEW was introduced to allocate a new object from a _typed_
pointer..
note that ALLOC_ARRAY and REALLOC_ARRAY have been replaced
by FT_NEW_ARRAY and FT_RENEW_ARRAY which take _typed_ pointer
arguments.
This results in _lots_ of sources being changed, but makes the
code more generic and less error-prone..
src/sfnt/sfdriver.c (get_sfnt_postscript_name): Fixed the loader so
that it accepts broken fonts like "foxjump.ttf", which made FreeType
crash when trying to load them.
Also improved the name table parser to be able to load
Windows-encoded entries before Macintosh or Unicode ones, since it
seems some fonts don't have reliable values here anyway.
* include/freetype/config/ftheader.h: removed obsolete macros like
FT_SOURCE_FILE, etc.. and added cache-specific macro definitions that
were previously defined in <freetype/ftcache.h>. Added comments to be
included in a new API Reference section.
* src/*/*: removed the use of FT_SOURCE_FILE, etc.. now, each component
needs to added its own directory to the include path at compile time.
Modified all "rules.mk" and "descrip.mms" accordingly..
include/freetype/internal/internal.h: fixed header inclusion macros
to use direct definitions. This is the only way to do these things
in a portable way :-( The rest of the code should follow shortly
though everything compiles now..
* builds/compiler/intelc.mk, builds/compiler/watcom.mk,
builds/win32/detect.mk: added support for the Intel C/C++ compiler,
as well as _preliminary_ (read: doesn't work !!) support for Watcom.
Also added a new setup target. Type "make setup list" for a list
of supported command-line compilers on Win32..
Removed. ANSI C doesn't (explicitly) allow macro expansion in
arguments using `##'.
(FT2_PUBLIC_FILE, FT2_CONFIG_FILE, FT2_INTERNAL_FILE): Use directory
names directly. Make them configurable. Use `##' to strip leading
and trailing spaces from arguments.
* builds/unix/ft2unix.h: Adapted.
* src/base/ftsystem.c (ft_alloc, ft_realloc, ft_free, ft_io_stream,
ft_close_stream): Use FT_CALLBACK_DEF.
* builds/unix/ftsystem.c: Use new header scheme.
(FT_Done_Memory): Use free() from FT_Memory structure.
* src/base/ftinit.c, src/base/ftmac.c: Header scheme fixes.
* include/freetype/config/ft2build.h (FT2_CONFIG_ROOT,
FT2_PUBLIC_FILE, FT2_CONFIG_FILE, FT2_INTERNAL_FILE,
FT_SOURCE_FILE): Use `##' operator to be really ANSI C compliant.

* src/truetype/ttdriver.c (Set_Char_Sizes, Set_Pixel_Sizes): Set
`size->strike_index' only conditionally.
* src/type1/t1driver.c, src/type1/t1objs.c: Include t1afm.h only
conditionally.
* src/winfonts/winfnt.h: Move all type definitions to...
* src/include/freetype/internal/fnttypes.h: New file.
* src/winfonts/winfnt.c: Use it.
* include/freetype/internal/ftdebug.h: Replaced FT_CAT and FT_XCAT
with a direct solution (which also satifies picky compilers).
I've made a few modifications:
- there is no new field named "driver" in "FT_SizeRec"
- the new fields in "TT_SizeRec" are:
strike_index :: value 0xFFFF means "no sbit strike selected"
strike_metrics :: the FT_Size_Metrics structure corresponding to
the currently selected strike
- the code in "ttload.c" has been somewhat cleaned up too
thanks a lot, Y-U !!

More C++ fixes: Introducing LOCAL_FUNC_X for local functions used in
function pointers (there are no local anonymous functions in C++) and
FT_CPLUSPLUS (instead of FT_EXPORT_VAR) to define linkage of structures
which contain function pointers.
Instead, define BASE_DEF() and BASE_FUNC() similarly to FT_EXPORT_DEF() and
FT_EXPORT_FUNC(), respectively, allowing the programmer to define proper
types and/or export lists for multiple DLLs if necessary (e.g. ftbase.dll --
standalone, fttype1.dll -- needs ftbase.dll, etc.).
The library is finally compiling and linking natively with a C++ compiler!
to access individual glyph names. Changed some
drivers to support it through a new interface named
"glyph_name".
- introduced FT_Get_Sfnt_Name (see ftnames.h)
to access the SFNT name table in a TrueType/OpenType
file..
- using FT_UNUSED instead of UNUSED
- using FT_LONG64 and FT_INT64 instead of LONG64 & INT64
- using FT_SIZEOF_INT & FT_SIZEOF_LONG instead of...
- removed the #ifdefs that used SIZEOF_INT, instead we now
use FT_Int32 and FT_UInt32 when needed to support
32-bits quantity correctly on 64-bits systems..
Adding trivial argument checking to some functions.
Added dynamic driver interface to cidriver.
Minor `version' fixes for macfont and psnames modules.
Removed unnecessary files
A lot of internal modifications have been performed lately on the
source in order to provide the following enhancements:
- more generic module support:
The FT_Module type is now defined to represent a handle to a given
module. The file <freetype/ftmodule.h> contains the FT_Module_Class
definition, as well as the module-loading public API
The FT_Driver type is still defined, and still represents a pointer
to a font driver. Note that FT_Add_Driver is replaced by FT_Add_Module,
FT_Get_Driver by FT_Get_Module, etc..
- support for generic glyph image types:
The FT_Renderer type is a pointer to a module used to perform various
operations on glyph image.
Each renderer is capable of handling images in a single format
(e.g. ft_glyph_format_outline). Its functions are used to:
- transform an glyph image
- render a glyph image into a bitmap
- return the control box (dimensions) of a given glyph image
The scan converters "ftraster.c" and "ftgrays.c" have been moved
to the new directory "src/renderer", and are used to provide two
default renderer modules.
One corresponds to the "standard" scan-converter, the other to the
"smooth" one.
The current renderer can be set through the new function
FT_Set_Renderer.
The old raster-related function FT_Set_Raster, FT_Get_Raster and
FT_Set_Raster_Mode have now disappeared, in favor of the new:
FT_Get_Renderer
FT_Set_Renderer
see the file <freetype/ftrender.h> for more details..
These changes were necessary to properly support different scalable
formats in the future, like bi-color glyphs, etc..
- glyph loader object:
A new internal object, called a 'glyph loader' has been introduced
in the base layer. It is used by all scalable format font drivers
to load glyphs and composites.
This object has been created to reduce the code size of each driver,
as each one of them basically re-implemented its functionality.
See <freetype/internal/ftobjs.h> and the FT_GlyphLoader type for
more information..
- FT_GlyphSlot had new fields:
In order to support extended features (see below), the FT_GlyphSlot
structure has a few new fields:
linearHoriAdvance: this field gives the linearly scaled (i.e.
scaled but unhinted) advance width for the glyph,
expressed as a 16.16 fixed pixel value. This
is useful to perform WYSIWYG text.
linearVertAdvance: this field gives the linearly scaled advance
height for the glyph (relevant in vertical glyph
layouts only). This is useful to perform
WYSIWYG text.
Note that the two above field replace the removed "metrics2" field
in the glyph slot.
advance: this field is a vector that gives the transformed
advance for the glyph. By default, it corresponds
to the advance width, unless FT_LOAD_VERTICAL_LAYOUT
was specified when calling FT_Load_Glyph or FT_Load_Char
bitmap_left: this field gives the distance in integer pixels from
the current pen position to the left-most pixel of
a glyph image WHEN IT IS A BITMAP. It is only valid
when the "format" field is set to
"ft_glyph_format_bitmap", for example, after calling
the new function FT_Render_Glyph.
bitmap_top: this field gives the distance in integer pixels from
the current pen position (located on the baseline) to
the top-most pixel of the glyph image WHEN IT IS A
BITMAP. Positive values correspond to upwards Y.
loader: this is a new private field for the glyph slot. Client
applications should not touch it..
- support for transforms and direct rendering in FT_Load_Glyph:
Most of the functionality found in <freetype/ftglyph.h> has been
moved to the core library. Hence, the following:
- a transform can be specified for a face through FT_Set_Transform.
this transform is applied by FT_Load_Glyph to scalable glyph images
(i.e. NOT TO BITMAPS) before the function returns, unless the
bit flag FT_LOAD_IGNORE_TRANSFORM was set in the load flags..
- once a glyph image has been loaded, it can be directly converted to
a bitmap by using the new FT_Render_Glyph function. Note that this
function takes the glyph image from the glyph slot, and converts
it to a bitmap whose properties are returned in "face.glyph.bitmap",
"face.glyph.bitmap_left" and "face.glyph.bitmap_top". The original
native image might be lost after the conversion.
- when using the new bit flag FT_LOAD_RENDER, the FT_Load_Glyph
and FT_Load_Char functions will call FT_Render_Glyph automatically
when needed.
checking based on the "search_rang", etc.., fields of
the sfnt header..
This avoids problems (like certain Type 1 multiple masters
incorrectly recognized as trueType files)..
compiler warnings with GCC + "-ansi -pedantic -Wall -W"
and LCC.
Also fixed the compilation of "type1z" with Win32-LCC
(its pre-processor is broken !!)
Updated the BUILD document too
EXPORT_FUNC, BASE_DEF and BASE_FUNC macros to
let them take an argument..
This is needed to compile the library as a DLL on some platforms
that have different compiler conventions..
