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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.4.1 (2015-Oct-17) --------------------------- * A bug in handling control instruction files could cause severe glyph shape distortions of accent-like glyphs. All users should update. Version 1.4 (2015-Oct-04) ------------------------- * Support for Thai and Lao scripts. * Support for the Arabic script. * Better support for scripts that contain superscript-like and subscript-like glyphs, e.g., the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). * Accents and other `non-base' glyphs are now hinted without snapping to blue zones. * A new control instruction syntax form was added to adjust the mapping between glyphs and styles. Right now, its usage is quite limited; a forthcoming version will give much more flexibility. * The `touch` keyword in a delta instructions file was buggy: If used for a point `P` at a ppem value `s`, it sometimes led to unwanted movements of `P` for ppem values unequal to `s`, thus causing outline distortions. _______________________________________________ Freetype-announce mailing list Freetype-announce@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-announce
