Hi All,
I would like to simplify hinting controls in ftview. As far as I can
see, only FreeType CFF driver is LIGHT by default and PS hinter
respects LIGHT. Otherwise LIGHT automatically means autohinter. So I
propose the following hinting scale for ftview:
enum {
HINT_MODE_OFF = 0, /* FT_LOAD_NO_HINTING %/
HINT_MODE_LIGHT, /* FT_LOAD_FORCE_AUTOHINT |
FT_LOAD_TARGET_LIGHT without warp */
HINT_MODE_MEDIUM, /* FT_LOAD_FORCE_AUTOHINT |
FT_LOAD_TARGET_LIGHT with warp */
HINT_MODE_STRONG, /* FT_LOAD_FORCE_AUTOHINT */
HINT_MODE_NATIVE, /* native hinter if available in all its glory
TrueType: v35, v38, or v40(light)
CFF: Adobe or FreeType(light)
Type 1: full or light */
N_HINT_MODES
};
Comments? I would also remove LCD_MODE_LIGHT so that we separate
rendering and hinting modes completely.
Alexei
