checking based on the "search_rang", etc.., fields of
the sfnt header..
This avoids problems (like certain Type 1 multiple masters
incorrectly recognized as trueType files)..
limit on the number of subglyphs in a TrueType font..
changed the default number of gray levels used by the
smooth renderer to 256 (instead of 128). Of course, the
human eye can't tell a difference ;-)
compiler warnings with GCC + "-ansi -pedantic -Wall -W"
and LCC.
Also fixed the compilation of "type1z" with Win32-LCC
(its pre-processor is broken !!)
Updated the BUILD document too
EXPORT_FUNC, BASE_DEF and BASE_FUNC macros to
let them take an argument..
This is needed to compile the library as a DLL on some platforms
that have different compiler conventions..
produce the artefacts of the current "ftraster.c"..
I'll change it soon to handle optimised 5-levels anti-aliasing
(backwards compatibility) in order to completely replace
"ftraster.c"
be moved to "freetype2/src/base" soon and become part
of the library.
changes include:
- fixed a bug which prevented large spans being drawn correctly.
- now renders large glyphs that overflow the render pool.
- various performance enhancements. the renderer now
renders large glyphs with much greater speed :-)
- also faster with small glyphs ..
future plans:
- fix a vertical-dropout bug in the standard raster (b&w)
- write a demonstration program to demonstrate direct
composition..
- there is now a "convenience" API to manage glyphs in
"include/ftglyph.h". See the demo program "ftstring" for
an example..
- the raster interface has been changed in order to allow
direct composition through user-provided callbacks. This
has been tested but isn't demonstrated for now in "demos"
- the FT_LOAD_NO_RECURSE flag is supported, as this is
required by some new code in the auto-hinting engine
- some bug fixed in FT_MulFix which made FT_xxx_Transform
return incorrect results..
API (see include/ftglyph.h).
Supports kerning, rotation, sub-pixel rendering..
Could be easily modified to reach the level of strtto when
we have the relevant OpenType module handy..
of segments used to decompose a bezier curve, we get rid
of the "fuzz-fuzz" factor.
it's also faster than the standard renderer after tweaking.
Note that it isn't completed yet..
- use the Mac path separator to get the base file name
- don't append .ttf if no dot in the file name
(plus small typo fix and error message enhancement)
