MAJOR CHANGES AND FIXES:
- Fixed crash caused by using fonts which have OS2 sfnt table.
- Corrected metrics calculation error. Although the original code uses
size-metrics, the FT_Size_Metrics does not have exact values when
handling the outline. So the codes for metrics calculation were
drastically rewritten.
- Fixed some problems with FreeTypeRasteriseGlyph().
- Made only metrics is required distinct from both metrics and
rasterised bitmap are required to improve performance when loading
large charset.
- Fixed the erroneous usage of freetype2 API. To get valid metrics,
FT_Outline_Get_BBox() is used for outline.
- Took the strange code for raster copying and rewrote it.
- Fixed UNDERLINE_POSITION so that it counts downwards.
- Fixed a risky calculational method for info-maxbound and
info-minbound when spacing is not charcell. All glyphs' metrics are
calculated and valid info-maxbounds and info-minbounds are set
without cutting any corners.
ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONALITIES:
- Added TTCap option fn,ai,ds,fs,vl,cr,bw,eb,hi,
fc and fm which are compatible with X-TT 1.4.
- Supported character width for vertical layouts.
- Removed jisx0208.1983-0.enc.
- Added ALIAS jisx0208.1983-0 to jisx0208.1990-0.enc.
- Added Windows ucs2 cmap(3,1) to jisx0208.1990-0.enc.
- Added Windows ucs2 cmap(3,1) to jisx0201.1976-0.enc.
