* docs/VERSION.DLL: updating document to better explain the differences between
the three version numbers being used on Unix, as well as provide the AutoConf
fragment provided by Lars Clausen
* src/smooth/ftgrays.c (gray_render_conic): fixed small bug that
prevented bezier arcs with negative vertical coordinates to be rendered
appropriately
2002-11-27 Vincent Caron <v.caron@zerodeux.net>
* builds/unix/unix-def.in, builds/unix/freetype-config.in,
builds/unix/configure.ac, src/gzip/rules.mk, src/gzip/ftgzip.c:
adding support for system zlib installations when available on the
target platform (Unix only)
Now it loads UCS-4 charmaps when there is one.
* src/base/ftobjs.c (find_unicode_charmap): new function.
* src/base/ftobjs.c (open_face): refer to the above one.
* src/base/ftobjs.c (FT_Select_Charmap): idem.
accept pre-defined charsets, even when the font contains fewer glyphs.
also enforced more checks to ensure that we never overflow the
character codes array in the encoding.
src/otlayout/otlgsub.c, src/otlayout/otlgsub.h, src/otlayout/otlparse.c,
src/otlayout/otlparse.h, src/otlayout/otlutils.h:
updating the OpenType Layout code, adding support fot the first
GSUB lookups. Nothing that really compiles for now though
* src/autohint/ahhint.c: disabled serif stem width quantization. It
produces slightly better shapes though this is not distinguishable
with many fonts.
* include/freetype/config/ftoption.h, src/gzip/ftgzip.c: added
support for the FT_CONFIG_OPTION_SYSTEM_ZLIB option, used to specify
the use of system-wide zlib.
Note that this macro, as well as FT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER,
is not #undef-ed anymore. This allows the build system to define them
depending on the configuration (typically by adding -D flags at
compile time).
* src/sfnt/ttcmap0.c (tt_face_build_cmaps): removed compiler warnings
in optimized mode relative to the "volatile" local variables. This was
not a compiler bug after all, but the fact that a pointer to a volatile
variable is not the same than a volatile pointer to a variable :-)
the fix was to change "volatile FT_Byte* p"
into "FT_Byte* volatile p"
* src/pfr/pfrload.c, src/pfr/pfrdrivr.c, src/gzip/inftrees.c: removed
compiler warnings in optimized modes
* src/gzip/*.[hc]: modified our ZLib copy in order to prevent exporting
any zlib function names outside of the component. This prevents linking
problems on some platforms, when applications want to link FreeType
_and_ ZLib together.
2002-11-05 Juliusz <jch@pps.jussieu.fr>
* src/psaux/psobjs.c (ps_table_add): modified increment loop in
order to implement exponential behaviour
src/base/ftpfr.c, src/base/Jamfile, src/descrip.mms, src/rules.mk,
src/pfr/pfrdrivr.c, src/pfr/pfrobjs.c, src/pfr/pfsobjs.h:
added PFR-specific public API. Fixed the kerning retrievel routine
(it returned invalid values when the outline and metrics resolution
differ)
* src/base/ftsynth.c: fixed the synthetic emboldener. at last.
* src/base/ftobjs.c: small internal fix to better support
bitmap-based font formats
src/pfr/pfrgload.c, src/pfr/pfrobjs.c, src/pfr/pfrtypes.h,
Jamfile, src/base/ftobjs.c: adding support for embedded bitmaps to
the PFR driver, and rewriting its kerning loader / handler to use all
kerning pairs in a physical font (and not just the first item).
* src/tools/docmaker/content.py, src/tools/docmaker/sources.py,
src/tools/docmaker/tohtml.py: fixing a few nasty bugs
* src/sfnt/ttcmap0.c: the validator for format 4 sub-tables is
now capable of dealing with invalid "length" fields at the start
of the sub-table. This allows fonts like "mg______.ttf" (i.e.
Marriage) to return accurate charmaps.
* src/autohint/ahtypes.h: disabling metrics hinting in the auto-hinter.
this produces much better anti-aliased text
2002-09-25 Anthony Fok <anthony@thizlinux.com>
* src/sfnt/ttcmap0.c: added support for opens___.ttf (it contains
a charmap that uses offset=0xFFFFU instead of 0x0000 to indicate a
missing glyph)
include/freetype/ftstroker.h, include/freetype/ftsysio.h,
include/freetype/ftsysmem.h, include/freetype/ttnameid.h:
updating the in-source documentation
* src/tools/docmaker/tohtml.py: updating the HTML formatter in the
DocMaker tool
* src/tools/docmaker.py: removing obsolete file
debug mode of template instantiation
* src/cff/cffparse.c: fixed the CFF table loader. It didn't accept
empty arrays, and this prevented the loading of certain fonts.
* src/pshinter/pshalgo2.c, src/pshinter/pshalgo3.c: adding fix to
prevent seg fault when hints are provided in an empty glyph !!
* include/freetype/ftimage.h: removed incorrect "zft_" definitions
and updated constants documentation comments
* include/freetype/freetype.h (FT_FaceRec): updating documentation
comment. The "descender" value is always *negative*, not positive !
include/freetype/config/ftmodule.h: updated to correctly support
sub-pixel rendering
* include/freetype/cache/ftcimage.h, include/freetype/cache/ftcsbits.h,
src/cache/ftcimage.c, src/cache/ftcsbit.c: updated to support sub-pixel
rendering correctly. Definition of FTC_ImageTypeRec that replaces the
obsolete FTC_ImageDesc, and has slightly different fields. The
image type is now determined directly by "load_flags" values.
* src/autohint/ahtypes.h, src/autohint/ahhint.c,
src/pshinter/pshalgo3.c, src/pshinter/pshalgo3.h: various enhancements
to the automatic and Postscript hinters !! and sub-pixel hinting now
works correctly (see demo programs)
ft_encoding_symbol to be FT_ENCODING_MS_SYMBOL (instead of
the erroneous FT_ENCODING_SYMBOL)
* builds/unix/unix-def.in: added "datadir" definition
(thanks to Anthony Fok)
to slightly increase the contrast of smooth hinting. This is very similar
to what the auto-hinter does when it comes to stem width computations.
However, it produces better results with well-hinted fonts..
want to list them all here. The operations performed were all logical
transformations of the sources:
- trying to convert all enums and constants to CAPITALIZED_STYLE, with
#define definitions like
#define my_old_constants MY_NEW_CONSTANT
- big, big update of the documentation comments
* include/freetype/freetype.h, src/base/ftobjs.c, src/smooth/ftsmooth.c,
include/freetype/ftimage.h: adding support for LCD-optimized rendering
though the new constants/enums:
FT_RENDER_MODE_LCD, FT_RENDER_MODE_LCD_V
FT_PIXEL_MODE_LCD, FT_PIXEL_MODE_LCD_V
this is still work in progress, don't expect everything to work correctly
though most of the features have been implemented.
* adding new FT_LOAD_XXX flags, used to specify both hinting and rendering
targets:
FT_LOAD_TARGET_NORMAL :: anti-aliased hinting & rendering
FT_LOAD_TARGET_MONO :: monochrome bitmaps
FT_LOAD_TARGET_LCD :: horizontal RGB/BGR decimated hinting & rendering
FT_LOAD_TARGET_LCD_V :: vertical RGB/BGR decimated hinting & rendering
note that FT_LOAD_TARGET_NORMAL is 0, which means that the default
behaviour of the font engine is _unchanged_.
