Since Freetype 2.4, the Bytecode interpreter is enabled by default as the relevant patents have expired. However, turning on the option in the Android version of Freetype doesn't work (it builds without errors but there's no difference in the font rendering, examining screenshots pixel-by-pixel shows no difference whatsoever).
To enable bytecode rendering I've uncommented the following lines: TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER in ftoption.h (inside include/ freetype/config) LOCAL_CFLAGS += "-DTT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER" in Android.mk Is there something else I have to do to turn on the bytecode interpreter? I have considered the possibility that the Droid fonts simply lack any hinting information, so I replaced it with Verdana and still didn't see any changes (i.e. Verdana with BCI enabled renders exactly the same as Verdana with BCI off). Could someone help? Thanks, Aravind. -- unsubscribe: android-porting+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-porting
