Re: [ft-devel] Regression issue - CFF

This looks very much like a winding-rule issue. Despite Adobe's font documentation claiming that glyphs should be rendered with non-zero winding, the Adobe *font* scalers/renderers actually use even-odd. This can be seen in CPSI (if anyone has access to it), by drawing a series of glyphs lik

Werner, Would there be any significant differences between the hinting from a ttfautohint built using Freetype 2.4.7 against one built using say 2.4.10 ? thanks -v On 7 Aug 2012, at 21:24, Werner LEMBERG wrote: > > ttfautohint 0.92 has been released. __

Re: [ft-devel] optimal configuration to render fonts using gamma correction

2012-08-08 Thread Francesco Abbate
Hi all, I'm sorry I've disturbed this ML with my unclear questions. I did found out by myself how to have optimal font rendering. What I was missing was vertical font hinting because I was freely translating the y coordinate by fractional amount so that vertical hinting was actually lost. I unders
