- Changelog
2.14.1
This is an emergency release that fixes a couple of severe bugs
introduced in
version 2.14.0 and discovered right after the release;
see issues #1349, #1353, #1354, #1355, and #1356.
2.14.0
IMPORTANT CHANGES
- A new configuration macro `FT_CONFIG_OPTION_USE_HARFBUZZ_DYNAMIC`
is available to load the HarfBuzz library dynamically (in addition
to the standard static and dynamic linking modes); cmake, meson,
and autotools support have been updated accordingly. Using this
new feature makes it possible to avoid the circular dependency
between HarfBuzz and FreeType.
A side effect of this change is that FreeType no longer uses
HarfBuzz header files (if HarfBuzz support is activated).
This code was contributed by Behdad Esfahbod.
- The auto-hinter got new abilities.
. It can now better separate diacritic glyphs from base glyphs at
small sizes by artificially moving diacritics up (or down) if
necessary.
. Tilde accent glyphs get vertically stretched at small sizes so
that they don't degenerate to horizontal lines.
. Diacritics directly attached to a base glyph (like the ogonek in
character 'ę') no longer distort the shape of the base glyph.
These features use a database (which currently has entries for
Unicode characters up to U+FFFF, based on Unicode 17.0), handling
scripts like Latin, Cyrillic, or Greek, but not Arabic or Indic
scripts. FreeType needs to access a proper Unicode character map
(or must be able to construct such a cmap) of a given font to make
this work.
The central algorithm and the foundation of this feature was Craig
White's GSoC 2023 project.
- Bitmap-only TrueType fonts now ignore the `FT_LOAD_NO_BITMAP` flag
and proceed loading bitmaps instead of giving an error. This
behavior is documented and implemented for other bitmap-only
fonts. The flag was always meant to suppress the bitmap strikes
in favor of outlines, not to ban them completely.
IMPORTANT BUG FIXES
- Users of the `TT_CONFIG_OPTION_GPOS_KERNING` configuration option
should update; the 'GPOS' table wasn't correctly validated before
access, which could lead to crashes with malformed font files.
MISCELLANEOUS
- `FT_Set_Var_Design_Coordinates` and `FT_Set_MM_Blend_Coordinates`
now set the `FT_FACE_FLAG_VARIATION` bit in the `face_flag` field
of `FT_Face` (i.e., the macro `FT_IS_VARIATION` returns true) also
if any of the provided coordinates is different from the face's
default value for the corresponding axis, that is, the set up face
is not at its default position.
- `FT_Load_Sfnt_Table` can now also load a font's table directory.
- The TrueType instruction interpreter was optimized to produce a
15% gain in the glyph loading speed.
- Handling of Variation Fonts is now considerably faster, thanks to
contributions by Behdad Esfahbod.
- TrueType and CFF glyph loading speed has been improved by 5-10% on
modern 64-bit platforms as a result of better handling of fixed-
point multiplication.
- The BDF driver now loads fonts 75% faster.
- 'GPOS' kern table handling (if the `TT_CONFIG_OPTION_GPOS_KERNING`
configuration option is active) is now about 3.5 times faster than
before.
- Support for the (currently undocumented) 'flip' graphic type in
the 'sbix' SFNT table as used in the `Apple Color Emoji.ttc` font
(code provided by Andrew Murray).
- `ftmulti` can now scroll through named instances and gracefully
show static fonts.
- The build file on OpenVMS now also creates a 32-bit version of the
library.
