Alternatively, can't FreeType do that itself? I know previously you've had said that FreeType exposes gasp table, and that FreeType just does what you tell it. Previously I agreed with that. But now I think it makes sense to disable bytecode if gasp says so. IMO, applications should only need to tell FreeType whether to hint or not, whether to antialias or not, and not know about the details of TrueType or other formats. FreeType should abstract that away. *If* then need full control though, FreeType can allow that too. behdad > Werner _______________________________________________ Freetype-devel mailing list Freetype-devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-devel
