Re: [ft-devel] TrueType hinting

2012-08-24 Thread Werner LEMBERG

 Thank you for your prompt response.  I am surprised, because when
 embedded in a PDF file, the font is displayed incorrectly by
 GhostScript 9.02 which uses FreeType 2.4.3.

Indeed, using ftview from 2.4.2 and 2.4.4, the font fails splendidly.
However, version 2.4.6 and later works just fine.  I don't have time
to bisect the source code to find out the commit which fixes the font,
so I suggest that you upgrade to a more recent GhostScript version
(which hopefully incorporates a newer FreeType version also).

Ghostscript 9.06 was released a week or so back and incorporates FreeType 
version 2.4.9 and a few patches which were later added to 2.4.10.
