drastically reduce the heap usage of FreeType, especially in the case
of memory-mapped files. The idea is to avoid loading and decoding tables
in the heap, and instead access the raw data whenever possible (i.e.
when it doesn't compromise performance).
This had several impacts: first, opening vera.ttf uses a ridiculous amount
of memory (when the FT_Library footprint is accounted for), until you start
loading glyphs. Even then, you'll save at least 20 Kb compared to the non
optimized case. performance of various operations, including open/close
has also been dramatically improved.
More optimisations to come. The auto-hinter eats memory like crazy? This
must be stopped...

Remove unused function `RepadBitmap'.
* src/pcf/pcfdrivr.c: Don't include pcfutil.h.
make it compile.
* include/freetype/internal/psaux.h, src/truetype/ttgload.h:
s/index/idx/ to fix compiler warnings.
* src/sfnt/ttcmap0.c (tt_face_build_cmaps): Use more `volatile' to
fix compiler warning.
* src/gzip/ftgzip.c (BUILDFIXED): Removed.
* src/gzip/inftrees.c (inflate_trees_fixed) [!BUILDFIXED]: Use
FT_UNUSED to remove compiler warning.
* 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.

`__' (those which haven't converted yet). Fixed minor conversion
issues.

* */*.[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
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.
rid of most of the basic types redefinitions (i.e. FT_Int instead
of "FT_Int", etc..)
The format-specific prefixs like "TT_", "T1_", "T2_" & 'CID_"
are now only used in relevant structures..
fixed Werner's fix to t2gload.c :-)
other small bug fixes
- some #ifdefs were included in order to _not_
compile support for the bytecode interpreter
when FT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER
is not defined in "ttconfig.h"
- the glyph loader has been seriously re-designed. It is now
smaller, simpler and should load composites a bit faster
- works with the TrueType debugger
