I. IMPORTANT BUG FIXES
- The TrueType bytecode interpreter has been fixed to produce
_exactly_ the same output as FreeType 1.x. Previous differences
_exactly_ the same output as FreeType 1.x. Previous differences
were due to slightly distinct fixed-point computation routines
used to perform dot products and vector length measurements.
It seems that native TrueType hinting is _extremely_ sensitive
to rounding errors. The required vector computation routines have
to rounding errors. The required vector computation routines have
been optimized and placed within the "ttinterp.c" file.

The following should be true, except for public types:
* All structure types have a name ending in "Rec" (short for

* A pointer-to-structure type has the same name as the
structure, _without_ the "Rec" suffix.
for example:
typedef struct FooRec_

the following should be true:

LATEST CHANGES BETWEEN 2.0.9 and 2.0.8
I. IMPORTANT BUG FIXES
- Certain fonts like "foxjump.ttf" contain broken name tables with
invalid entries and wild offsets. This caused FreeType to crash when
trying to load them.
The SFNT `name' table loader has been fixed to be able to support
these strange fonts.

- A bug in the Postscript hinter has been found and fixed, removing
un-even stem widths at small pixel sizes (like 14-17).
This improves the quality of a certain number of Postscript fonts.

- Two new APIs have been added: `FT_Get_First_Char' and
`FT_Get_Next_Char'.
Together, these can be used to iterate efficiently over the currently
selected charmap of a given face. Read the API reference for more
details.
III. MISCELLANEOUS
- The FreeType sources are under heavy internal re-factoring. As a
consequence, we have created a branch named "STABLE" on the CVS to
hold all future releases/fixes in the 2.0.x family.
The HEAD branch now contains the re-factored sources and shouldn't be
used for testing or packaging new releases. In case you would like
to access the 2.0.9 sources from our CVS repository, use the tag

LATEST CHANGES BETWEEN 2.0.8 and 2.0.7
I. IMPORTANT BUG FIXES
- There was a small but nasty bug in "freetype-config.in" which
caused the "freetype-config" script to fail on Unix.
This didn't prevent the installation of the library or even
its execution, but caused problems when trying to compile many
Unix packages that depend on it.
- Some TrueType or OpenType fonts embedded in PDF documents do
not have a 'cmap', 'post' and 'name' as is required by the
specification. FreeType no longer refuses to load such fonts.
- various fixes to the PCF font driver
