We don't really know at this point. We were concentrating of crashes
and errors first. Now we have to look for incorrect rendering. One
thing we did notice is the 'A' and 'B' glyphs in

Great, thanks! Ghostscript now builds and against FreeType git. Now we

All,
Attached is a patch enabling FT_CONFIG_OPTION_INCREMENTAL in the
default build. I hope Werner will apply it.
The argument for this is as follows:
FreeType has for many years provided an optional

need to be able to supply gly

The relevant US patents have expired, but I believe there are
equivalent patents in Canada, Japan and Germany. The truetype hinting
instructions should be free worldwide in May, 2010.

FWIW, I signed up recently, and there was a week or two before my

This removes the one you compiled, leaving no freetype on your system.

When you inverted the sense of the #ifdef, you excluded the check for
null glyph names. This field is always null when we're running CID
fonts through the incremental interface, and needs to be excluded as

All,
Please take a look at the attached patch to make accented characters
work with the incremental font interface Ghostscript uses. The patch
is gs-specific, but we'd like to get this resolved upstream somehow.
Basically, the implementation of the type 1 single encoding accented

I always hated the cvs convention, so it was the first thing I'd change.
The cgit program is smart enough to name tag snapshots something like

There they are. Thanks.
Are you planning to modernise the tag names, now that you're not

Remote repositories could use a description file for the gitweb index.

Werner,
On December 9 you committed a fix for Savannah bug #25010, which
includes adding a check for an empty glyf table to
load_truetype_glyph(). However, the check is implemented as a proxy
check for a zero glyf_offset, rather than the table itself being
absent.
I think this isn't correct when

Werner,
We've been trying to resurrect the freetype "bridge" code in
ghostscript, and have been testing against the freetype 2.3.8 release.
I think there may be some bit rot in the incremental font support. In

T1_Err_Invalid_Argument if the reque

You could use the Jam build. Apple hasn't used jam since Xcode 1.x,
and it has no dependencies. I keep a copy of the source at
