Re: [ft-devel] A question about freetype and harfbuzz

2007-05-28 Thread Werner LEMBERG
I have a question about freetype and harfbuzz. FreeType1 includes an extension to support OpenType text layout processing. But this support hasn't become part of FreeType2. Why? Why does FreeType2 not use the codes of harfbuzz to support OpenType text layout processing? We have decided

I want to display the font “PMingLiU”, so I have to use the macro “TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER” to avoid the font broken. And some font was uglily, so I open the auto hint. When I use the macro “FT_LOAD_FORCE_AUTOHINT” or “FT_LOAD_NO_HINTING”, the macro

In this particular case I think FreeType should do a default action; this is, a missing `cmap' table should completely disable functions like FT_Get_Char_Index (by returning either an appropriate error and/or -1 for the glyph index) but still make FT_Load_Glyph and friends work as expected.
