In case of problems use http://download-mirror.savannah.gnu.org/releases/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This project provides a library which takes a TrueType font as the input, remove its bytecode instructions (if any), and return a new font where all glyphs are bytecode hinted using the information given by FreeType's autohinting module. The idea is to provide the excellent quality of the autohinter on platforms which don't use FreeType. The library has a single API function, `TTF_autohint'; see `lib/ttfautohint.h' for a detailed description. Note that the library itself won't get installed currently. A command-line interface to the library is the `ttfautohint' program; after compilation and installation, say ttfautohint --help for usage information, or say man ttfautohint to read its manual page. A GUI to the library is `ttfautohintGUI'; it uses the Qt4 framework. The compilation of this application can be disabled with the `--without-qt' configuration option. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- New in 0.9: * The created bytecode has been reduced in size, making it approx. 20% smaller. * New option `--symbol' to use standard stem height and width values instead of using character `o' (which may be missing). Use this option for symbol fonts or math glyphs. * More documentation (in text, HTML, and PDF format). It's still incomplete, though. * Option `--ignore-permissions' has been renamed to `--ignore-restrictions'. The short form is still `-i'. * Defaults for various parameters have been set to more sensible values: hinting-range-max: 50 (was 1000) hinting-limit: 200 (was 1000) * Option `--increase-x-height' now has a mandatory argument (in the range 6-20 or value 0 to disable it, default value is 14). _______________________________________________ Freetype-announce mailing list Freetype-announce@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-announce
