LATEST CHANGES BETWEEN 2.0.4 and 2.0.3

- fixed a rather annoying bug that was introduced in 2.0.3.

Namely, the font transform set through FT_Set_Transform was applied

twiced to auto-hinted glyphs, resulting in incorrect rotated text

output

|

Visual C++'s most pedantic warning level (/W4). It already compiled

fine with GCC and a few other compilers..

- THE AUTO-HINTER HAS BEEN SLIGHTLY IMPROVED, in order to fix several

annoying artefacts, mainly:

- blue zone alignement of horizontal stems wasn't performed

correctly, resulting in artefacts like the "d" being placed

one pixel below the "b" in some fonts like Time New Roman

unpleasant artefacts at large character pixel sizes
