Improve vertical metrics calculation (Savannah bug #27364). The calculation of `vertBearingX' is not defined in the OTF font spec so FreeType does a `best effort' attempt. However, this value is defined in the PDF and PostScript specs, and that algorithm is better than the one FreeType currently uses: FreeType: Use the middle of the bounding box as the X coordinate of the vertical origin. Adobe PDF spec: Use the middle of the horizontal advance vector as the X coordinate of the vertical origin. FreeType's algorithm goes wrong if you have a really small glyph (like the full-width, circle-like dot at the end of the sentence, as used in CJK scripts) with large bearings. With the FreeType algorithm this dot gets centered on the baseline; with the PDF algorithm it gets the correct location (in the top right). Note that this is a serious issue, it's like printing the dot at the end of a Roman sentence at the center of the textline instead of on the baseline like it should. So i believe the PDF spec's algorithm should be used in FreeType as well. The `vertBearingY' value for such small glyphs is also very strange if no `vmtx' information is present, since the height of the bbox is not representable for the height of the glyph visually (the whitespace up to the baseline is part of the glyph). The fix also includes some code for a better estimate of `vertBearingY'. * src/base/ftobjs.c (ft_synthesize_vertical_metrics): `vertBearingX' is now calculated as described by the Adobe PDF Spec. Estimate for `vertBearingY' now works better for small glyphs completely above or below the baseline into account. * src/cff/cffgload.c (cff_slot_load): `vertBearingX' is now calculated as described by the Adobe PDF Spec. Vertical metrics information was always ignored when FT_CONFIG_OPTION_OLD_INTERNALS was not defined. * src/truetype/ttgload.c (compute_glyph_metrics): `vertBearingX' is now calculated as described by the Adobe PDF Spec.
