Modern bitmap-only SFNTs like `NotoColorEmoji.ttf' don't contain
entries in the bitmap strike(s) for empty glyphs. Instead, they
rely that a space glyph gets created from the font's metrics data.
This commit makes FreeType behave accordingly.
* include/freetype/fterrdef.h (FT_Err_Missing_Bitmap): New error
code.
* src/sfnt/ttsbit.c (tt_sbit_decoder_load_image): Change error codes
to make a distinction between a missing bitmap in a composite and a
simple missing bitmap.
* src/truetype/ttgload.c (TT_Load_Glyph): For a missing bitmap (in a
bitmap-only font), synthesize an empty bitmap glyph if metrics are
available.
We now use a separate preprocessor macro to handle both definition
and declaration of the glyph name arrays.
* src/psnames/psmodule.c (DEFINE_PS_TABLE_DATA): New macro.
* src/tools/glnames.py (StringTable::dump,
StringTable::dump_sublist): Use `DEFINE_PS_TABLE_DATA'.
(dump_encoding): Ditto.
(main): Use `wb' mode for writing the output file, which works on
Windows also.
* src/psnames/pstables.h: Regenerated.
This is a new technology for LCD-optimized rendering. It capitalizes
on the fact that each color channel grid is shifted by a third of a
pixel. Therefore it is logical to render 3 separate monochrome
bitmaps shifting the outline by 1/3 pixel, and then combine them.
Importantly, the resulting output does not require additional LCD
filtering.
* src/smooth/ftsmooth.c (ft_smooth_render_generic)
[!FT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_RENDERING]: Implement new LCD-optimized
rendering.
* include/freetype/ftlcdfil.h, include/freetype/freetype.h,
include/freetype/config/ftoption.h, devel/ftoption.h: Updated
documentation.
The reserved `flags' field got a value in OpenType version 1.8.2;
unfortunately, the public `FT_Var_Axis' structure misses the
corresponding element. Since we can't add a new field, we add an
access function.
* src/base/ftmm.c (FT_Get_Var_Axis_Flags): New function.
* include/freetype/ftmm.h (FT_VAR_AXIS_FLAG_HIDDEN): New macro.
Updated.
* src/truetype/ttgxvar.c (TT_Get_MM_Var): Increase allocated memory
of `mmvar' to hold axis flags.
Fill the axis flags array.
* docs/CHANGES: Updated.
Phantom points are now saved outside v40 backwards compatibility
mode. This fixes the jumping glyphs when switching between v35 and
v40 monochrome mode.
* src/truetype/ttgload.c (TT_Hint_Glyph): Fix inversed bool logic.
This fixes weird behavior of instructions that resulted in rendering
differences between v35 and v40 in monochrome mode, e.g., in
`timesbi.ttf'.
* src/truetype/ttinterp.c (Ins_GETINFO)
[TT_SUPPORT_SUBPIXEL_HINTING_MINIMAL]: Check
`subpixel_hinting_lean'.
* src/sfnt/sfobjs.c (sfnt_load_face): The units per EM value has now
(tighter) limits.
* src/truetype/ttgload.c (load_truetype_glyph): The new OpenType
version explicitly allows all negative values for the number of
contours if we have a composite glyph (this is for better backwards
compatibility I guess), but it still recommends value -1.
While clang's sanitizer recommends a cast to unsigned for safe
negation (to handle -INT_MIN), both MSVC and Visualc emit warning
C4146 if an unsigned value gets negated.
* include/freetype/internal/ftcalc.h (NEG_LONG, NEG_INT32),
src/base/ftcalc.c (FT_MOVE_SIGN): Replace negation with a
subtraction.
* builds/unix/unix-def.in (PKG_CONFIG): New variable.
(freetype-config): Use it in sed expression.
* builds/unix/freetype-config.in: s/pkg-config/%PKG_CONFIG%/.
