the warp hinter isn't active (it shouldn't, still experimental)
* Jamfile, include/freetype/config/ftmodule.h: removed "gxvalid"
and "otvalid" from the list of modules that are linked statically
to a given FreeType library. Functionality has been moved to the
"ftvalid" CVS module.
note also that current Make-based build system still compiles the
modules though...
* include/freetype/config/ftoption.h: added FT_STRICT_ALIASING,
which controls the definitions of the memory management functions
to avoid warnings with recent versions of GCC. this macro is
only here to be disabled, in case we detect problems with the
new scheme.
NOTE: disable macro to use the memory debugger. this will be fixed
later !!
implement an AFM parser. It is used to parse an AFM file.
* src/psaux/psconv.c, src/psaux/psconv.h: New files to provide
conversion functions (e.g, PS real number => FT_Fixed) for the
PS_Parser and AFM_Parser. Some of the functions are taken, with some
modifications, from the psobjs.c
* src/psaux/psobjs.c: Use functions from psconv.c.
* include/freetype/internal/psaux.h, src/psaux/psauxmod.c:: Add
`AFM_Parser' to the `psaux' service.
* src/psaux/psaux.c, src/psaux/rules.mk: Include those new files.
* src/tools/test_afm.c: A test program for AFM parser.
* include/freetype/internal/services/svkern.h,
include/freetype/internal/ftserv.h: New service `Kerning'. It is
currently only used to get the track kerning information.
* src/type1/t1driver.c, src/type1/t1objs.c, src/type1/t1afm.c,
src/type1/t1afm.h: Update to use the AFM parser.
Provide the `Kerning' service.
* include/freetype/freetype.h, src/base/ftobjs.c: New API
`FT_Get_Track_Kerning'.
FreeType now can read kerning values from PFM files.
* src/type1/t1afm.c (T1_Done_AFM): Renamed to...
(T1_Done_Metrics): This.
Update all callers.
(T1_Read_AFM): Make it static.
Don't enter and leave a frame.
(LITTLE_ENDIAN_USHORT, LITTLE_ENDIAN_UINT): New macros.
(T1_Read_PFM): New function.
(T1_Read_Metrics): New higher-level function to be used instead of
T1 Read_AFM.
Update all callers.
* 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.
`__' (those which haven't converted yet). Fixed minor conversion
issues.
* src/winfonts/winfnt.c: Updated to new header inclusion scheme.
* */*.[ch]: Changed source files to adhere to the new
* src/cff/cff.c, src/cff/rules.mk: Updated.
* */*.[ch]: Now using <ft2build.h> as the default build and setup
C++ programs easier:
Renamed FT_WordXX to FT_UIntXX.
Changed a lot of void* to FT_Byte* if related to i/o streams -- FreeType
always accesses streams byte-wise, so this makes sense IMHO.
Added a lot of #ifdef __cplusplus to header files (and removed a few).
Other minor syntax fixes (mostly casts).
Replaced the variable `private' with `private_dict' -- `private' is
reserved in C++.
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.
