- Enable Bytecode. Weird_W's fonts finally look humanly readable. Thanks to Waxdragon for testing. <http://www.freetype.org> LATEST CHANGES BETWEEN 2.1.10 and 2.1.9 I. IMPORTANT BUG FIXES - The size comparison for BDF and PCF files could fail sometimes. - Some CFF files were still not loaded correctly. Patch from Derek Noonburg. - The stroker still had some serious bugs. - Boris Letocha fixed a bug in the TrueType interpreter: The NPUSHW instruction wasn't skipped correctly in IF clauses. Some fonts like `Helvetica 75 Bold' failed. - Another serious bug in handling TrueType hints caused many distortions. It has been introduced in version 2.1.8, and it is highly recommended to upgrade. - FreeType didn't properly parse empty Type 1 glyphs. - An unbound dynamic buffer growth was fixed in the PFR loader. - Several bugs have been fixed in the cache sub-system. - FreeType behaved incorrectly when resizing two distinct but very close character pixel sizes through `FT_Set_Char_Size' (Savannah bug #12263). - The auto-hinter didn't work properly for fonts without a Unicode charmap -- it even refused to load the glyphs. II. IMPORTANT CHANGES - Many fixes have been applied to drastically reduce the amount of heap memory used by FreeType, especially when using memory-mapped font files (which is the default on Unix systems which support them). - The auto-hinter has been replaced with a new module, called the `auto-fitter'. It consumes less memory than its predecessor, and it is prepared to support non-latin scripts better in next releases. - George Williams contributed code to read kerning data from PFM files. - FreeType now uses the TT_NAME_ID_PREFERRED_FAMILY and TT_NAME_ID_PREFERRED_SUBFAMILY strings (if available) for setting family and style in SFNT fonts (patch from Kornfeld Eliyahu Peter). - A new API `FT_Sfnt_Table_Info' (in FT_TRUETYPE_TABLES_H) has been added to retrieve name and size information of SFNT tables. - A new API `FT_OpenType_Validate' (in FT_OPENTYPE_VALIDATE_H) has been added to validate OpenType tables (BASE, GDEF, GPOS, GSUB, JSTF). After validation it is no longer necessary to check for errors in those tables while accessing them. Note that this module might be moved to another library in the future to avoid a tight dependency between FreeType and the OpenType specification. - A new API in FT_BITMAP_H (`FT_Bitmap_New', `FT_Bitmap_Convert', `FT_Bitmap_Copy', `FT_Bitmap_Embolden', `FT_Bitmap_Done') has been added. Its use is to convert an FT_Bitmap structure in 1bpp, 2bpp, 4bpp, or 8bpp format into another 8bpp FT_Bitmap, probably using a different pitch, and to further manipulate it. - A new API `FT_Outline_Embolden' (in FT_OUTLINE_H) gives finer control how outlines are embolded. - `FT_GlyphSlot_Embolden' (in FT_SYNTHESIS_H) now handles bitmaps also (code contributed by Chia I Wu). Note that this function is still experimental and may be replaced with a better API. - The method how BDF and PCF bitmap fonts are accessed has been refined. Formerly, FT_Set_Pixel_Sizes and FT_Set_Char_Size were synonyms in FreeType's BDF and PCF interface. This has changed now. FT_Set_Pixel_Sizes should be used to select the actual font dimensions (the `strike', which is the sum of the `FONT_ASCENT' and `FONT_DESCENT' properties), while FT_Set_Char_Size selects the `nominal' size (the `PIXELSIZE' property). In both functions, the width parameter is ignored. III. MISCELLANEOUS - The BDF driver no longer converts all returned bitmaps with a depth of 2bpp or 4bpp to a depth of 8bpp. The documentation has not mentioned this explicitly, but implementors might have relied on this after looking into the source files. - A new option `--ftversion' has been added to freetype-config to return the FreeType version. - The memory debugger has been updated to dump allocation statistics on all allocation sources in the library. This is useful to spot greedy allocations when loading and processing fonts. - We removed a huge array of constant pointers to constant strings in the `psnames' module. The problem was that compilations in PIC mode (i.e., when generating a Unix shared object/dll) put the array into the non-shared writable section of the library since absolute pointers are not relocatable by nature. This reduces the memory consumption by approximately 16KByte per process linked to FreeType. We now also store the array in a compressed form (as a trie) which saves about 20KByte of code as well. - Kirill Smelkov provided patches to make src/raster/ftraster.c compile stand-alone again. svn path=/trunk/; revision=16675 |
