The last few months it was my job to fully integrate the code into FreeType, and I'm very pleased with the results. Here are links to the relevant blogs: <a href="http://adobe.ly/12mJWGv" target="_blank">http://adobe.ly/12mJWGv</a> <a href="http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2013/05/got-cff.html" target="_blank">http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2013/05/got-cff.html</a> Look at the comparison images :-) Below are the relevant parts of the CHANGES file (which also give details how to enable it); as you can see, there are also a bunch of improvements for ftview and ftdiff. I plan to release 2.4.12 in about a week. Please test and enjoy! Werner ====================================================================== - We have another CFF parsing and hinting engine! Written by Dave Arnold <<a href="mailto:darnold@adobe.com">darnold@adobe.com</a>>, this work has been contributed by Adobe in collaboration with Google. It is vastly superior to the old CFF engine, and it will replace it in the next release. Right now, it is still off by default, and you have to explicitly select it using the new `hinting-engine' property of the cff driver: ... #include FT_CFF_DRIVER_H FT_Library library; int engine = FT_CFF_HINTING_ADOBE; ... FT_Property_Set( library, "cff", "hinting-engine", &engine ); The code has a (mature) beta status; we encourage all users to test it and report any problems. [...] - Using the `H' key, it is now possible to select the CFF engine in both `ftview' and `ftdiff'. - It is now possible to directly select the LCD rendering mode with the keys `A'-`F' in `ftview'. The key mapping for cycling through LCD modes has been changed from `K' and `L' to `k' and `l', and toggling custom LCD filtering is no longer mapped to key `F' but to key `L'. - In `ftdiff', key `x' toggles between layout modes: Either use the advance width (this is new and now the default) or the bounding box information to determine line breaks. _______________________________________________ Freetype-devel mailing list <a href="mailto:Freetype-devel@nongnu.org">Freetype-devel@nongnu.org</a> <a href="https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-devel" target="_blank">https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-devel</a> -- Cheers Dave </blockquote></div> </div>
