Hi,
Considering current state that we don't know any fonts that has ITLC table,
it would be better than nothing to implement italic correction as follows.
In the following code, "fontdata" is a table returned by the function
"fonts.define.read".
local param = fontdata.parameters
local italicangle = fontdata.shared.otfdata.metadata.italicangle
if italicangle and italicangle < 0 then
local uwidth = fontdata.shared.otfdata.metadata.uwidth or 40
local factor = fontdata.factor or 655.36
param.slant = - math.tan(italicangle*math.pi/180) * param.quad
for i,v in pairs(fontdata.characters) do
local gl = fontdata.descriptions[i]
local it = (gl.boundingbox[3] - gl.width + uwidth*0.5) * factor
if it > 0 then v.italic = it end
end
end
Best,
Dohyun Kim
