|
A more complete description of the bug is found below the table of

II. Bug descriptions:
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
NO-CID-CMAPS:
|
|
Not exactly a bug, but the CFF font driver doesn't build a Unicode
|
|
charmap from the content of font files, which prevents efficiently
|
|
using fonts in this format..
|
|
|
|
|
|
BAD-TTNAMEID.H
|
|
the file "ttnameid.h" contains various constant macro definitions
|
|
corresponding to important values defined by the TrueType specification.
|
|
|
|
Joe Man <trmetal@yahoo.com.hk> reports that:
|
|
|
|
According to the information from
|
|
TrueType v1.66
|
|
|
|
Platform ID = 3 (Microsoft)
|
|
the Encoding ID of GB2312 = 4
|
|
the Encoding ID of big5 = 3
|
|
|
|
However, I have found that
|
|
in ttnameid.h
|
|
TT_MS_ID_GB2312 = 3
|
|
TT_MS_ID_BIG_5 = 4
|
|
|
|
Which one is correct?
|
|
|
|
Antoine replied that this was a bug in the TT 1.66 specification, and
|
|
that FreeType followed the most recent TrueType/OpenType specification
|
|
here !!
|
|
|
|
|
|
AUTOHINT-SBITS
|
|
when trying to load a glyph, with the auto-hinter activated (i.e.
|
|
when using FT_LOAD_FORCE_AUTOHINT, or when the font driver doesn't
|
|
provide its own hinter), embedded bitmaps are _never_ loaded, unlike
|
|
the default behaviour described by the API specification.
|
|
|
|
this seems to be a bug in FT_Load_Glyph, but there is no way to solve it
|
|
efficiently without making a few important internal changes to the library's
|
|
design (more importantly, to the font driver interface)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
BAD-TT-RENDERING
|
|
according to Paul Pedriana <PPedriana@maxis.com>, there is a rather
|
|
important difference between the rendering of TrueType-hinted glyphs
|
|
of current FT2 and old betas..
|
|
|
|
Tests and comparisons show a _major_ discrepancy of monochrome truetype
|
|
bytecode-hinted glyphs !! Something seems to be really fucked here !!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
BAD-THIN-LINES
|
|
it seems that the anti-aliased renderer in FreeType has problems
|
|
rendering extremely thin straight lines correctly, at least when using
|
|
the FT_Outline_Render functions..
