Is it possible that the autohinter is not yet set to instruct those larger sizes? What do you mean with `breaks up'? British sland for 'does not work well' :-) Please give more details what exactly you think is bad. The hinting range is set to 8ppem-1000ppem, BTW, so these sizes are covered. The original 'o' in Ubuntu appears more circular - more symmetrical in both x and y directions - but the autohinted 'o' appears 'egg' shaped with x symmetry but the top is thinner than the bottom. Overall it's looking good to me. There are specific issues at certain sizes, e.g uppercase bowls are flattening too abruptly at the cap-height, see 'O' at 15, 19, 21px, but i'm assuming these things can be tweaked away. Yes, this is what I've noted too. I'll look into it. Great! -- Cheers Dave ___ Freetype-devel mailing list Freetype-devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-devel
Re: [ft-devel] ttfautohint: How to install
I have added detailed shots to http://code.newtypography.co.uk/?p=898 At 400% magnification the difference does not look so great, but at 100% the difference in rendering is noticeable. I'll leave hinting interpreation to the experts, but to my eyes the vertical extremes of curves are not being flattened quite enough, thus creating extra sub-pixels (see the 400x magnifications). This seems to be the opposite of what is happening at other px sizes where the vertical extremes of curves tend to get overflattened, e.g. the 'O' at 15, 19, 21px. -vern On 18 Jun 2011, at 04:42, Werner LEMBERG wrote: Of note is that at larger sizes (20px - 30px) the rendering breaks up on curves.
