Re: [ft-devel] [patch] fuller right margin in ftview
The attached patch changes the way 'ftview' fills the window with glyphs so that the right margin is less blank and a larger number of glyphs shown. It uses the actual width of the current grBitmap, instead of super conservative max_advance, when fitting the glyphs in the available space. Looks promising! Will test it soon.

[ft-devel] Ligature support in Freetype?
Hello freetype-devel'ers, I was wondering if anyone on this list might be able to help me work out the effort required to support the FF Chartwell font in freetype2: https://www.fontfont.com/how-to-use-ff-chartwell This is a font which uses ligatures to create small, interesting, bar-charts and graphs and so on (please see the site referred). Its my understanding, (per this thread: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/freetype-devel/2008-12/msg7.html), that Freetype won't work directly with this method of specifying the ligature, but in case I misunderstand I thought I would introduce myself, and the problem to this community. I'm working with the MOAI SDK these days (http://getmoai.com/) which is using libfreetype2 for its rendering needs, and I am trying to work out what it would take to get these special ligatures supported in freetype2 for use within the MOAI context - or if its even possible at all? If anyone else is interested in this topic, and knows about how to handle these ligature types, I'd love to hear about it - I'm a newbie to freetype2, but willing to learn a great deal from someone on this list who knows what they're doing (and has the patience to explain it) - perhaps its of interest in general, also, to get such support in freetype2 among this community? If there is something you need to know about the Chartwell font, I can provide details as I have purchased the font already. Hope this is appropriate for this list and of interest to you freetype developers too! -- Jay Vaughan j...@allaboutapps.at ___ Freetype-devel mailing list Freetype-devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-devel

I guess we're already using freetype2 in moai, and so my next big mystery is .. how would I integrate something like harfbuzz on top of our freetype2 usage in order to gain a ligature feature? I understand this is a stupid question, potentially, so I'll keep researching this, and reading some code to try to understand the approach to solving the problem .. but if anyone feels motivated to explain to me how I might approach this, I'd be very grateful.

Re: [ft-devel] [patch] fuller right margin in ftview
I've picked FT_Err_Raster_Overflow to indicate the boundary. Is that appropriate? No, it isn't IMHO: FT_Err_Raster_Overflow is a fatal error, indicating a serious problem which the rasterizer can't manage. I think a simple integer will serve as return error instead of FT_Error. I am also considering whether to add a 2-4-pixel right margin. This is a good idea, I think. BTW, what I would *really* like to have is resizing of the demo program windows. However, this is a non-trivial issue since it means surgery within the small FreeType demo graphics library for a bunch of various platforms. A compromise might be to have command line options to set the windows size. Werner ___ Freetype-devel mailing list Freetype-devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-devel

Great, I have it working!

Re: [ft-devel] WOFF support in FreeType?
At present, FreeType2's compress font file I/O is designed for the case that whole of font file is compressed as single stream. On the other hand, WOFF will request the per-table decompression. The easiest support would be done by the construction of the sfnt font file image by using zlib, and pass it to FT_Face_New(). I wish if I could have a time to write a code to parse WOFF without making a whole uncompressed font image...

It would be good if freetype reserved an FT_Err_User, defined as -1 or 0xFF perhaps, which is not yet taken. If at all, we had to reserve an error range, say, 0xF0-0xFF, since one single error code is hardly sufficient usually. However, right now a good enough solution is to define something by yourself, I think.
