CHANGES BETWEEN 2.6 and 2.6.2
|
||||
|
||||
I. IMPORTANT CHANGES
|
||||
|
||||
- The auto-hinter now supports stem darkening, to be controlled by
|
||||
the new `no-stem-darkening' and `darkening-parameters'
|
||||
properties. This is an experimental feature, and the interface
|
||||
might change in a future release.
|
||||
|
||||
- By default, stem darkening is now switched off (for both the CFF
|
||||
engine and the auto-hinter). The main reason is that you need
|
||||
linear alpha blending and gamma correction to get correct
|
||||
rendering results, and the latter is not yet available in most
|
||||
freely available rendering stacks like X11. Applying stem
|
||||
darkening without proper gamma correction leads to far too dark
|
||||
rendering results.
|
||||
|
||||
- The meaning of `FT_RENDER_MODE_LIGHT' has been slightly
|
||||
modified. It now essentially means `no hinting along the
|
||||
horizontal axis'; in particular, no change of glyph advance
|
||||
widths. Consequently, the auto-hinter is used for all scalable
|
||||
font formats except for CFF. It is planned that other
|
||||
font-specific rendering engines (TrueType, Type 1) will follow.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
II. MISCELLANEOUS
|
||||
|
||||
- For better compatibility with FontConfig, function
|
||||
`FT_Library_SetLcdFilter' accepts a new enumeration value
|
||||
`FT_LCD_FILTER_LEGACY1' (which has the same meaning as
|
||||
`FT_LCD_FILTER_LEGACY').
|
||||
|
||||
- A large number of bugs have been detected by using the libFuzzer
|
||||
framework, which should further improve handling of invalid
|
||||
fonts. Thanks again to Kostya Serebryany and Bungeman!
|
||||
|
||||
- `TT_CONFIG_OPTION_MAX_RUNNABLE_OPCODES', a new configuration
|
||||
option, controls the maximum number of executed opcodes within a
|
||||
bytecode program. You don't want to change this except for very
|
||||
special situations (e.g., making a library fuzzer spend less
|
||||
time to handle broken fonts).
|
||||
|
||||
- The smooth renderer has been made faster.
