Re: [ft-devel] [ttfautohint] stem width handling is now selectable
PS: Who knows a TrueType debugger for MS Windows (this is, which uses the rendering engine of MS Windows!) similar to FontForge? Ideally, this should run under Wine also...

[Hmm, maybe I'm wrong and he was only talking about the OpenType support.] Very interesting if that can be do in wine directly. But some options are available from play-on-linux 'configure' panel, where it's possible to install additional packages (like GDIplus package), or change screen rendering direct draw option (default, GDI, opengl)... Now, GDI.exe and GDI32dll are in wine\system32, just to work 'as' windows. That said the best way seems to use WIN directly or into virtualbox. I don't know if somebody is enough crasy to buy a license only for testing in vitualbox (:-]) In addition, if my mind is good, MS cleartype power toy doesn't work with Wine. -- Hirwen HARENDAL ___ Freetype-devel mailing list Freetype-devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-devel
[ft-devel] Test
Good evening all Please find below a test archives you can use for your own tests.http://min.us/mbmHmRQv0e - This package includes Mintspirit fonts (otf), Mintysis TTF version of Mintspirit (ttf-base and TTF autohinted with TTFAH), some images of waterfall font and a PDFto compare both font formats (OTF and TTF autohinted) in action- I used the last version of TTFautohint from GIT- Both TTF versions include the cleartype byte code. NOTEIn the help section, about from the GUI : TTFautohint adds new auto-generated hints to a TrueType font or TrueType collection. It's not true !As wrote to Werner, TTC fonts can't to be autohinted directly. If a TTC font isgenerated using TTFautohint, only the first font is autohinted not the second.The best way to solve this is to use TTFautohint for each TTF font before make TTC.

Re: [ft-devel] FW: PDF text rendering error
Werner, please excuse my emphasis The font is OK. As I've mentioned before, it is *not* possible to edit this font with FontLab or FontForge! ** No smoke without fire... Sorry, but St Thomas was one of my students :-) You need a special editor to handle those rare fonts which use bytecode to scale and shift subglyphs. ** A special font editor in 1995-1998, have you got a name, I'm intersting? ** http://www.nec.co.jp/csr/en/report2009/cs/ud/ud01.html at Universal ** Design Fonts ? Yes, the font looks similar. No idea whether this is still a `tricky' font, or whether the font designer has decided to `expand' the subglyphs. ** It's still tricky to work with CJK fonts, in general, but that can't explain the result of the font file attached, except the fact that the interpreter is very confused by the glyphs datas. Is this due to the use of the bytecode to scale subglyphs only ?I'm not sure.On the other hand, I don't think you'd be surprised by the poor quality of some commercial fonts that I was asked to rework.

Re: [ft-devel] TTfautohint issues with small counters
Hi Vern e.g. when the gap between dot and stem in 'i' gets blocked, it's bad font design and can easilly be corrected ;) . ** Maybe because the latin module of TTFAH treats i (and j) using the blue zone of small letter likef (fijbdkhl), when the design choice (not bad design !) not have the top of the dot in the blue zone, but for example, between this bluezone and the top of the i. I don't know if possible to assimilate in TTFautohint i and j like glyph accentued (eacute etc.). Notice that is also true for other latin glyphs using dot (edot, gdot...) If you would like to test this try IkariusADF and BaskerwaldADF, But you need to convert them, OTF to TTF before.
