* src/smooth/ftgrays.c [STANDALONE] (OVERFLOW_ADD_LONG,
OVERFLOW_SUB_LONG, OVERFLOW_MUL_LONG, NEG_LONG): New macros.
[!STANDALONE]: Include FT_INTERNAL_CALC_H.
(gray_render_cubic): Use those macros where appropriate.
Extra bitmap padding for LCD filtering depends on the filter. The
default 5-tap filter needs 2 extra subpixels. The light 3-tap filter
needs only 1 extra subpixel. This space could be already available
due to rounding. In order to optimize the padding, we now expand
CBox for the given filter weights before rounding.
This change breakes current Skia (and Firefox).
* include/freetype/internal/ftobjs.h (FT_LibraryRec)
[FT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_RENDERING]: Remove `lcd_extra' field.
* src/base/ftlcdfil.c (FT_Library_SetLcdFilterWeights,
FT_Library_SetLcdFilter): Remove `lcd_extra' initializations.
* src/smooth/ftsmooth.c (ft_smooth_render_generic): Implement dymanic
LCD padding.
This mode uses fractional advance widths and doesn't scale glyphs
horizontally, only applying vertical scaling and hinting.
At the same time, the behaviour of the `light' auto-hinter gets
restored for backwards compatibility: Both vertical and horizontal
scaling is again based on rounded metrics values (this was changed
in a commit from 2017-03-30 as a side effect). To be more precise,
the behaviour is restored for TrueType fonts only; for other font
formats like Type 1, this is a new feature of the `light' hinting
mode.
* include/freetype/freetype.h (FT_LOAD_TARGET_SLIGHT): New macro.
(FT_RENDER_MODE_SLIGHT): New render mode.
* include/freetype/internal/ftobjs.h (FT_Size_InternalRec): Add
`autohint_mode' and `autohint_metrics' fields.
* src/autofit/afcjk.c (af_cjk_hints_init), src/autofit/aflatin.c
(af_latin_hints_init), src/autofit/aflatin2 (af_latin2_hints_init):
Updated.
* src/autofit/afloader.c (af_loader_embolden_glyph_in_slot): Use
`autohint_metrics'.
(af_loader_load_glyph): s/internal/slot_internal/.
Initialize `autohint_metrics' and `autohint_mode' depending on
current auto-hint mode.
Use `autohint_metrics'.
Updated.
* src/base/ftadvanc.c (LOAD_ADVANCE_FAST_CHECK): Updated.
* src/base/ftobjs.c (FT_Load_Glyph): Updated.
(FT_New_Size): Allocate `internal' object.
* src/pshinter/pshalgo.c (ps_hints_apply): Updated.
* src/smooth/ftsmooth.c (ft_smooth_render): Updated.
We don't need some divisions if a line segments stays within a single
row or a single column of pixels.
* src/smooth/ftgrays.c (gray_render_line) [FT_LONG64]: Make divisions
conditional.
The algorithm calls `gray_set_cell' at the start of each new contour
or when the contours cross the cell boundaries. Double-checking for
that is wasteful.
* src/smooth/ftgrays.c (gray_set_cell): Remove check for a new cell.
(gray_convert_glyph): Remove initialization introduced by 44b172e88.
* src/smooth/ftgrays.c (gray_move_to): Call `gray_set_cell' directly
instead of...
(gray_start_cell): ... this function, which is removed.
(gray_convert_glyph): Make initial y-coordinate invalid.
It turns out that there is significant cost associated with `FT_Span'
creation and calls to `gray_render_span' because it happerns so
frequently. This removes these steps from our internal use but leaves
it alone for `FT_RASTER_FLAG_DIRECT" to preserve API. The speed gain
is about 5%.
* src/smooth/ftgrays.c (gray_render_span): Removed. The code is
migrated to...
(gray_hline): ... here.
Zero coverage is unlikely (1 out of 256) to warrant checking. This
gives 0.5% speed improvement in dendering simple glyphs.
* src/smooth/ftgrays.c (gray_hline, gray_render_span): Remove checks.
This gives 2% speed improvement in rendering simple glyphs.
* src/smooth/ftgrays.c (TPixmap): Reduced pixmap descriptor with a
pointer to its bottom-left and pitch to be used in...
(gray_TWorker): ... here.
(gray_render_span): Move pixmap flow check from here...
(gray_raster_render): .. to here.
This removes unnecessary complexity of span merging and buffering.
Instead, the spans are rendered as they come, speeding up the
rendering by about 5% percents as a result.
* src/smooth/ftgrays.c [FT_MAX_GRAY_SPANS]: Macro removed.
(gray_TWorker): Remove span buffer and related fields.
(gray_sweep, gray_hline): Updated.
* include/freetype/ftimage.h: Remove documentation note about
`FT_MAX_GRAY_SPANS', which was never in `ftoption.h' and is now gone.
Rasterization sub-banding is utilized at large sizes while using
rather small fixed memory pool. Indeed it is possible to make an
educated guess how much memory is necessary at a given size for a
given glyph. It turns out that, for large majority of European glyphs,
you should store about 8 times more boundary pixels than their height.
Or, vice versa, if your memory pool can hold 800 pixels the band
height should be 100 and you should sub-band anything larger than
that. Should you still run out of memory, FreeType bisects the band
but you have wasted some time. This is what has been implemented in
FreeType since the beginning.
It was overlooked, however, that the top band could grow to twice the
default band size leading to unnecessary memory overflows there. This
commit fixes that. Now the bands are distributed more evenly and
cannot exceed the default size.
Now the magic number 8 is really suitable for rather simple European
scripts. For complex Chinese logograms the magic number should be 13
but that is subject for another day.
* src/smooth/ftgrays.c (gray_convert_glyph): Revise sub-banding
protocol.
* src/smooth/ftgrays.c (TArea): Restore original definition as `int'.
(gray_render_line) [FT_LONG64]: Updated.
(gray_convert_glyph): 32-bit band bisection stack should be 32 bands.
(gray_convert_glyph_inner): Trace successes and failures.
This patch restores original `TCoord' definition as `int' so that the
rendering pool is used more efficiently on LP64 platforms (unix).
* src/smooth/ftgrays.c (gray_TWorker, TCell, gray_TBand): Switch some
fields to `TCoord'.
(gray_find_cell, gray_render_scanline, gray_render_line, gray_hline,
gray_sweep, gray_convert_glyph): Updated.
* src/smooth/ftgrays.c (gray_convert_glyph): Do not use volatile
qualifier.
(gray_raster_render): Move span initializations from here.
(gray_sweep): ... to here and remove unused `target' argument.
* src/smooth/ftgrays.c (gray_init_cells): Remove function.
(gray_TWorker): Remove fields that become local variables.
(gray_raster_render): Move rendering buffer declaration from here.
(gray_convert_glyph): ... to here and update accordingly.
