(tt_name_entry_ascii_from_ucs4): Removed.
* include/freetype/ftxf86.h: Fix and extend comment so that it
appears in the documentation.
* include/freetype/ftchapters.h: Add `font_format' section.
* src/tools/docmaker/tohtml.py (HtmlFormatter::index_exit): Add link
to TOC in index page.
Formatting.
* src/truetype/ttgload.c (tt_loader_init): Re-execute the CVT
program after a change from mono to grayscaling (and vice versa).
Use correct constant for comparison to get `exec->grayscale'.
test for a valid glyph index must be deferred to the font drivers.
This patch fixes Savannah bug #18301.
* src/base/ftobjs.c (FT_Load_Glyph): Don't check `glyph_index'.

and FT_FORCE_LEGACY_LCD_FILTER at compile time. Define these macros
when building the library to change the default LCD filter to be
used. This is only useful for experimentation
src/base/ftlcdfilt.c, src/smooth/ftsmooth.c: API change for
the LCD filter, the FT_LcdFilter value is a enum describing
which filter to apply, new values FT_LCD_FILTER_LIGHT and
FT_LCD_FILTER_LEGACY (the latter implements the LibXft original
algorithm which produces incredible color fringes for everything
except very-well hinted text)
* src/autofit/aflatin.c: various tiny improvements that drastically
improve the handling of serif fonts and of LCD/LCD_V hinting modes.
src/base/ftobjs.c: fixed a bug in the automatic unpatented
hinting support which prevented normal bytecode hinting to
work properly
* src/autofit/aftypes.h: undefining AF_DEBUG to get rid of
traces
for an upcoming 2.2.2 release
* include/freetype/ftlcdfil.h, src/freetype/ftlcdfil.c:
added a new API to support color filtering of subpixel glyph
bitmaps. In default build, the function FT_Library_SetLcdFilter
returns FT_Err_Unimplemented_Feature; you need to #define
FT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_RENDERING in ftoption.h to compile
the real implementation
* src/smooth/ftsmooth.c: adding support for sub-pixel color
filtering; simplifying a few function calls
* include/freetype/config/ftheader.h: adding FT_LCD_FILTER_H
macro that points to <freetype/ftlcdfil.h>
I. IMPORTANT BUG FIXES
- Various integer overflows have been fixed.
- PFB fonts with MacOS resource fork weren't handled correctly on
non-MacOS platforms.
- The PCF font loarder has been seriously hardened against malformed
font files.
II. IMPORTANT CHANGES
- the unpatented hinter is now part of the default build of the
library, and we added code to automatically support "tricky"
fonts that need it.
what this means is that FreeType should "just work" with certain
Asian fonts, like MingLiu, which cannot properly load without a
bytecode interpreter, but fortunately do not use any of the
patented bytecode opcodes.
Note that the API didn't change, so you can still force
unpatented hinting with a special parameter to FT_Open_Face
as well.
if you're an embedded systems developer, you might want to
*disable* the feature to save code space by undefining
TT_CONFIG_OPTION_UNPATENTED_HINTING in ftoption.h.
- LCD-optimized rendering is now disabled in all default builds
of the library, mainly due to patent reasons. For more information
see:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/freetype/2006-09/msg00064.html
a new configuration macro FT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_RENDERING has
been introduced in ftoption.h; manually define it in this file
if you want to re-enable the feature.
the change only affects the implementation, not the FreeType API.
This means that clients don't need to be modified, because the
library still generates LCD decimated bitmaps, but with the added
constraint that R=G=B on each triplet.
- Some computation bugs in the TrueType bytecode interpreter were found,
which allow us to get rid of very subtle and rare differences we had
with the Windows renderer.
III. MISCELLANEOUS
- TrueType glyph loading is now about 25% faster.
- the anti-aliased rasterizer has been optimized and is now 15% to 25%
percent faster than the previous one, depending on content
- the Type 1 loader has been improved; as an example, it now skips
over top-level dictionaries properly
