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 0.93: * New option `--components' to treat components of composite glyphs separately. This greatly reduces the bytecode size. I'm waiting for reports whether this option works for most fonts; in case this is true I'm inverting the option, making it the default (and the old behaviour optional). * Full support of TTCs, this is, all subfonts get auto-hinted now. * The upper limit of the `--increase-x-height' option has been removed. * Drag-and-drop support in the GUI. * The TTY version of ttfautohint now acts like a (Unix) filter, this is, it accepts stdin and stdout as input and output, respectively. * Less memory consumption. _______________________________________________ Freetype-announce mailing list Freetype-announce@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-announce
