LATEST CHANGES BETWEEN 2.1.4 and 2.1.3
|
||||
|
||||
I. IMPORTANT BUG FIXES
|
||||
|
||||
- updated to newest libtool version, fixes build problems on various
|
||||
platforms.
|
||||
|
||||
- a fix in the Gzip stream reader, it couldn't read certain .gz files
|
||||
properly due to a small typo
|
||||
|
||||
- the configure script now looks tries to use the system-wide zlib when
|
||||
it finds one (instead of the copy found in src/gzip). And
|
||||
"freetype-config" has been updated to return relevant flags in this
|
||||
case when invoked with "--libs" (e.g. "-lzlib")
|
||||
|
||||
- certain fonts couldn't be loaded by 2.1.3 because they lacked a
|
||||
Unicode charmap (e.g. SYMBOL.TTF). FreeType erroneously rejected
|
||||
them.
|
||||
|
||||
- the CFF loader was modified to accept fonts which only
|
||||
contain a subset of their reference charset. This prevented the
|
||||
correct use of PDF-embedded fonts.
|
||||
|
||||
- the logic to detect Unicode charmaps has been modified. this is required
|
||||
to support fonts which include both 16-bit and 32-bit charmaps (like
|
||||
very recent asian ones) using the new 10 and 12 SFNT formats.
|
||||
|
||||
- the TrueType loader now limits the depth of composite glyphs. This is
|
||||
necessary to prevent broken fonts to break the engine by blowing the
|
||||
stack with recursive glyph definitions.
|
||||
|
||||
II. IMPORTANT CHANGES
|
||||
|
||||
- David Chester contributed some enhancements to the auto-hinter that
|
||||
significantly increase the quality of its output. Try it !!
|
||||
|
||||
- the FT_RENDER_MODE_LIGHT render mode was implemented
|
||||
|
||||
- a new API, called FT_Get_BDF_Property has been added to FT_BDF_H to
|
||||
retrieve BDF properties from BDF _and_ PCF font files. THIS IS STILL
|
||||
EXPERIMENTAL, since it hasn't been properly tested yet.
|
||||
|
||||
- a Windows FNT specific API has been added, mostly to access font
|
||||
headers. This is used by Wine
|
||||
|
||||
- TrueType tables without a "hmtx" table are now tolerated when an
|
||||
incremental interface is used. This happens for certain Type42 fonts
|
||||
passed from Ghostscript to FreeType.
|
||||
|
||||
III. MISCELLANEOUS
|
||||
|
||||
- the path stroker in FT_STROKER_H has entered beta stage. It now works
|
||||
very well, but it's interface might change a bit in the future. More
|
||||
on this in later releases
|
||||
|
||||
- the documentation for FT_Size_Metrics didn't appear properly in the
|
||||
API reference

||||
