Re: [ft-devel] Hinting glitch?
Attached is how the font NanumGothic.ttf (downloadable from here : http://hangeul.naver.com/download.nhn scroll down to the 7 green boxes and it's the third one along the top row) looks: @ Pixel Size 13 [cid:C2DDDF1F-E850-4D87-B865-45318241A5C1] Notice how the letter i appears to be too tall in relation to the other letters. @ Pixel Size 14 Now the i looks ok: [cid:FD1C366E-B3AA-4D86-ADF4-BCEEB6D2BC19] When hinted with the FT hinter, the letter i remains consistent. I can confirm this observation, however, I don't see any problem with the FreeType code, and debugging doesn't show a problem either: There is no border case which could cause a rounding to a different vertical value. It would be interesting to see what Windows does, testing with both ClearType switched on and off.

Re: [ft-devel] Hinting glitch?
Thankyou Werner. I just quickly loaded it up in Notepad under Windows 7 ClearType and it showed the same glitch so I guess it must be a bug in the hints for the font or something...

[ft-devel] Hinting glitch?
I'm just wondering if I have found a bug in FreeType's TrueType hinting implementation. Attached is how the font NanumGothic.ttf (downloadable from here : http://hangeul.naver.com/download.nhn scroll down to the 7 green boxes and it's the third one along the top row) looks: @ Pixel Size 13 [cid:C2DDDF1F-E850-4D87-B865-45318241A5C1] Notice how the letter i appears to be too tall in relation to the other letters. @ Pixel Size 14 Now the i looks ok: [cid:FD1C366E-B3AA-4D86-ADF4-BCEEB6D2BC19] When hinted with the FT hinter, the letter i remains consistent. This is with FreeType 2.4.4, with the BCI switched on as is the default. - Oliver inline: Screen shot 2011-04-08 at 13.16.07.pnginline: Screen shot 2011-04-08 at 13.16.23.png___ Freetype-devel mailing list Freetype-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-devel
