This large patch changes the header file directory layout from
`include/freetype/...' to `include/...', effectively removing one
level. Since the file `ft2build.h' is also located in `include'
(and it stays there even after installation), all FreeType header
files are now in a single directory.
Applications that use (a) `freetype-config' or FreeType's
`pkg-config' file to get the include directory for the compiler, and
(b) the documented way for header inclusion like
#include <ft2build.h>
#include FT_FREETYPE_H
...
don't need any change to the source code.
* include/freetype/*: Move up to...
* include/*: ... this directory.
* builds/amiga/include/freetype/*: Move up to...
* builds/amiga/include/*: ... this directory.
*/*: Essentially do `s@/freetype/@/@' where appropriate.
* CMakeList.txt: Simplify.
* builds/unix/freetype-config.in, builds/unix/freetype2.in: For
`--cflags', return a single directory.
* builds/unix/install.mk (install): No longer try to remove `cache'
and `internal' subdirectories; instead, remove the `freetype'
subdirectory.
This controls whether the old FreeType CFF engine gets compiled into
FreeType. It is now disabled by default.

src/cff/cffgload.h, src/cff/cffobjs.c (cff_driver_init): Use
CFF_CONFIG_OPTION_OLD_ENGINE to guard the affected code.
* docs/CHANGES: Updated.
A new load flag, FT_LOAD_COLOR, makes FreeType load color
embedded-bitmaps, following this draft specification
https://color-emoji.googlecode.com/git/specification/v1.html
which defines two new SFNT tables, `CBDT' and `CBLC' (named and
modeled after `EBDT' and `EBLC', respectively). The color bitmaps
are stored in the new FT_PIXEL_MODE_BGRA format to represent BGRA
pre-multiplied sRGB images. If PNG support is available, PNG color
images as defined in the same proposed specification are supported
also.
Note that color bitmaps are converted to grayscale if client didn't
ask for color.

Add `--without-png' option.

This is the large, famous `Infinality' patch to support ClearType
bytecode which has been available from
http://www.infinality.net/blog/ for some time, and which has been
refined over the last years. While still experimental, it is now
mature enough to be included directly into FreeType.
Most of the code is based on the ClearType whitepaper written by
Greg Hitchcock
http://www.microsoft.com/typography/cleartype/truetypecleartype.aspx
which gives a detailed overview of the necessary changes to the
Microsoft rasterizer so that older fonts are supported. However, a
lot of details are still missing, and this patches provides a
framework to easily handle rendering issues down to the glyph level
of certain fonts.
Note that ClearType support is not completely implemented! In
particular, full support for the options `compatible_widths',
`symmetrical_smoothing, and `bgr' (via the GETINFO bytecode
instruction) is missing.
* src/truetype/ttsubpix.c: New file, providing code to handle
`tweaks', this is, rules for certain glyphs in certain fonts
(including wildcards) which need a special treatment.
* src/truetype/ttsubpix.h: New file, holding the tweaking rules.
* include/freetype/config/ftoption.h, src/devel/ftoption.h
(TT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_HINTING): New macro.
* include/freetype/internal/ftobjs.h (FT_PIX_FLOOR_GRID,
FT_PIX_ROUND_GRID, FT_PIX_CEIL_GRID): New macros.
* src/truetype/truetype.c [TT_USE_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER]: Include
`ttsubpix.c'.
* src/truetype/ttgload.c: Include `ttsubpix.h'.
[All changes below are guarded by TT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_HINTING.]
(tt_get_metrics): Set tweak flags.
(TT_Hint_Glyph): Call `FT_Outline_EmboldenXY' if necessary.
(TT_Process_Simple_Glyph): Compensate emboldening if necessary.
(compute_glyph_metrics): Handle `compatible widths' option.
(tt_loader_init): Handle ClearType GETINFO information bits.
* src/truetype/rules.mk (TT_DRC_SRC): Updated.
* src/truetype/ttinterp.c: Include `ttsubpix.h'.
[Where necessary, changes below are guarded by
TT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_HINTING.]
(Direct_Move, Direct_Move_X): Extended.
(Round_None, Round_To_Grid, Round_To_Half_Grid, Round_Down_To_Grid,
Round_Up_To_Grid, Round_To_Double_Grid, Round_Super, Round_Super_45,
SetSuperRound): Add parameter to handle the number of grid lines per
pixel.
(SET_SuperRound, ROUND_None, CUR_Func_round): Updated.
(DO_SROUND, DOS45ROUND, DO_ODD, DO_EVEN): Updated.
(DO_ROUND, DO_NROUND): Updated.

(Ins_MD): Handle `Vacuform' rounds.
(Move_Zp2_Point, Ins_SHPIX, Ins_MSIRP, Ins_MDAP, Ins_MIAP,
Ins_MDRP, Ins_MIRP): Handle tweaks.
(Ins_ALIGNRP): Add tweak guard.
(Ins_IUP, Ins_DELTAP): Handle tweaks.
(Ins_GETINFO): Handle new ClearType bits.
(TT_RunIns): Handle tweaks.
* src/truetype/ttinterp.h: Updated.
(SPH_TweakRule, SPH_ScaleRule): New structures for tweaks.
(TT_ExecContextRec): Add members for subpixel hinting support.
* src/truetype/ttobjs.h (TT_DefRecord): Add `inline_delta' member.
[TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER]: Undefine
TT_CONFIG_OPTION_UNPATENTED_HINTING. This fixes the return value of
`FT_Get_TrueType_Engine_Type' (and makes it work as documented).
Reported in bug #441638 of bugzilla.novell.com.

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
