|
|
* @description:
|
|
* Currently, two versions are available, representing the bytecode
|
|
* interpreter with and without subpixel hinting support,
|
|
* respectively. The default is subpixel support if
|
|
* TT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_HINTING is defined, and no subpixel
|
|
* support otherwise (since it isn't available then).
|
|
*
|
|
* If subpixel hinting is on, many TrueType bytecode instructions behave
|
|
* differently compared to B/W or grayscale rendering (except if `native
|
|
* ClearType' is selected by the font). The main idea is to render at a
|
|
* much increased horizontal resolution, then sampling down the created
|
|
* output to subpixel precision. However, many older fonts are not
|
|
* suited to this and must be specially taken care of by applying
|
|
* (hardcoded) font-specific tweaks.
|
|
*
|
|
* Details on subpixel hinting and some of the necessary tweaks can be
|
|
* found in Greg Hitchcock's whitepaper at
|
|
* `http://www.microsoft.com/typography/cleartype/truetypecleartype.aspx'.
|
|
*
|
|
* The following example code demonstrates how to activate subpixel
|
|
* hinting (omitting the error handling).
|
|
*
|
|
* {
|

* FT_Library library;

|
|
*
|
|
* @description:
|
|
* A list of constants used for the @interpreter-version property to
|
|
* select the hinting engine for Truetype fonts.
|
|
*
|
|
* The numeric value in the constant names represents the version
|
|
* number as returned by the `GETINFO' bytecode instruction.
|
|
*
|
|
* @values:
|
|
* TT_INTERPRETER_VERSION_35 ::
|
|
* Version~35 corresponds to MS rasterizer v.1.7 as used e.g. in
|
|
* Windows~98; only grayscale and B/W rasterizing is supported.
|
|
*
|
|
* TT_INTERPRETER_VERSION_38 ::
|
|
* Version~38 corresponds to MS rasterizer v.1.9; it is roughly
|
|
* equivalent to the hinting provided by DirectWrite ClearType (as
|
|
* can be found, for example, in the Internet Explorer~9 running on
|
|
* Windows~7).
|
|
*
|
|
* @note:
|
|
* This property controls the behaviour of the bytecode interpreter
|
|
* and thus how outlines get hinted. It does *not* control how glyph
|
|
* get rasterized! In particular, it does not control subpixel color
|
|
* filtering.
|
|
*
|
|
* If FreeType has not been compiled with configuration option
|
|
* FT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_HINTING, selecting version~38 causes an
|
|
* `FT_Err_Unimplemented_Feature' error.
|
|
*
|
|
* Depending on the graphics framework, Microsoft uses different
|
|
* bytecode and rendering engines. As a consequence, the version
|
|
* numbers returned by a call to the `GETINFO' bytecode instruction are
|
|
* more convoluted than desired.
|
|
*
|
|
* Here are two tables that try to shed some light on the possible
|
|
* values for the MS rasterizer engine, together with the additional
|
|
* features introduced by it.

|
|
* }
|
|
*
|
|
* The `version' field gives a rough orientation only, since some
|
|
* applications provided certain features much earlier (as an example,
|
|
* Microsoft Reader used subpixel and Y-direction ClearType already in
|
|
* Windows 2000). Similarly, updates to a given framework might include
|
|
* improved hinting support.

|
|
*
|
|
* Color and Gray ClearType are the two available variants of
|
|
* `Y-direction ClearType', meaning grayscale rasterization along the
|
|
* Y-direction; the name used in the TrueType specification for this
|
|
* feature is `symmetric smoothing'. `Classic ClearType' is the
|
|
* original algorithm used before introducing a modified version in
|
|
* Win~XP. Another name for v1.6's grayscale rendering is `font
|
|
* smoothing', and `Color ClearType' is sometimes also called `DWrite
|
|
* ClearType'. To differentiate between today's Color ClearType and the
|
|
* earlier ClearType variant with B/W rendering along the vertical axis,
|
|
* the latter is sometimes called `GDI ClearType'.
|
|
*
|
|
* `Normal' and `high' sampling describe the (virtual) resolution to
|
|
* access the rasterized outline after the hinting process. `Normal'
|
|
* means 1 sample per grid line (i.e., B/W). In the current Microsoft
|
|
* implementation, `high' means an extra virtual resolution of 16x16 (or
|
|
* 16x1) grid lines per pixel for bytecode instructions like `MIRP'.
|
|
* After hinting, these 16 grid lines are mapped to 6x5 (or 6x1) grid
|
|
* lines for color filtering if Color ClearType is activated.
|
|
*
|
|
* Note that `Gray ClearType' is essentially the same as v1.6's
|
|
* grayscale rendering. However, the GETINFO instruction handles it
|
|
* differently: v1.6 returns bit~12 (hinting for grayscale), while v2.1
|
|
* returns bits~13 (hinting for ClearType), 18 (symmetrical smoothing),
|
|
* and~19 (Gray ClearType). Also, this mode respects bits 2 and~3 for
|
|
* the version~1 gasp table exclusively (like Color ClearType), while
|
|
* v1.6 only respects the values of version~0 (bits 0 and~1).
|
|
*
|
|
* FreeType doesn't provide all capabilities of the most recent
|
|
* ClearType incarnation, thus we identify our subpixel support as
|
|
* version~38.
