In case of problems use http://download-mirror.savannah.gnu.org/releases/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- http://freetype.org/ttfautohint 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 0.97: * Improved script support. Besides Cyrillic and Greek, which are now handled separately from Latin, ttfautohint can handle Hebrew. * Option `-f' now takes a parameter to specify the fallback script. The corresponding long option name has been renamed from `--latin-fallback' to `--fallback-script'. * Work around a bug in display environments that use FreeType 2.5.0 and earlier for rendering: Sometimes, the `strong' stem width routine was used for DW ClearType (this is, subpixel hinting in FreeType is enabled) even if `smooth' was selected while generating the font with ttfautohint. _______________________________________________ Freetype-announce mailing list Freetype-announce@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-announce
