ttfautohint 1.3 has been released. The source tarball, statically-linked binaries for Win32 (TTY and GUI) and OS X (TTY only) are available from
http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/freetype/ or http://sourceforge.net/projects/freetype/files/ttfautohint/1.3 Instructions to build the GUI version on OS X can be found at http://freetype.org/ttfautohint/osx.html Enjoy!

In case of problems use http://download-mirror.savannah.gnu.org/releases/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- http://freetype.org/ttfautohint This project provides a library that 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 that 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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.3 (2015-Jan-06) ------------------------- * Keywords in control instruction files can be more verbose to increase readability. You can now use `left`, `right`, `nodir`, `point`, `touch`, `xshift`, and `yshift` for `l`, `r`, `n`, `p`, `t, `x`, and `y`, respectively. * A new control instruction keyword `touch` was added to apply delta instructions before the final IUP bytecode commands, also `touching' the affected points (to use the TrueType instructions terminology). Such deltas *do* work even with ClearType if applied to the non-ClearType direction. * Support for the Telugu script. * The amount of information about ttfautohint and its parameters that gets added to the `name` table by default has been reduced. A new option `--detailed-info` restores the previous behaviour. * ttfautohintGUI crashed if not used with a control instruction file. * ttfautohintGUI now correctly switches to a horizontal two-column layout if the standard one-column layout would exceed the screen height. * A new option `--family-suffix` makes it possible to append a suffix to a font's family name in the `name` table. This can be useful during the development process: It helps the operating system to simultaneously display several instances of a font that are processed with different ttfautohint parameters. * The new library option `info-post-callback` helps in processing data from the `name` table. _______________________________________________ Freetype-announce mailing list Freetype-announce@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-announce
