I. CHANGES TO THE MODULES / FONT DRIVERS:
- THE TRUETYPE BYTECODE INTERPRETER IS NOW TURNED OFF, in order to
- avoid legal problems with the Apple patents. It seems that we
- mistakenly turned this option on in previous releases of the build.
-
- note that if you want to use the bytecode interpreter, in order to
- get high-quality TrueType rendering, you'll need to toggle by hand
- the definition of the TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER macro
- in the file "include/freetype/config/ftoption.h"
-
- - The CFF driver has been improved by Tom Kacvinsky and Sander van der Wal:

II. CHANGES TO THE HIGH-LEVEL API
-
- - the library header files inclusion scheme has been changed. The old
- scheme looked like:
-
- #include <freetype/freetype.h>
- #include <freetype/ftglyph.h>
- #include <freetype/ftcache.h>
- #include <freetype/cache/ftimage.h>
-
- use:
-
- #include <ft2build.h>
- #include FT_FREETYPE_H
- #include FT_GLYPH_H
- #include FT_CACHE_H
- #include FT_CACHE_IMAGE_H
-
- NOTE THAT THE OLD INCLUSION SCHEME WILL STILL WORK WITH THIS RELEASE.
- HOWEVER, WE DON'T GUARANTEE THAT THIS WILL STILL BE TRUE IN THE NEXT
- ONE (A.K.A. FREETYPE 2.1)
-
- the file <ft2build.h> is used to define the header filename macros.
- The complete and commented list of macros is available in the API
- reference under the section name "Header File Macros" in Chapter I.
- For more information, see section I of the following document:
-
- http://www.freetype.org/freetype2/docs/tutorial/step1.html
- or http://freetype.sourceforge.net/freetype2/docs/tutorial/step1.html
+ - The library header files inclusion scheme has been changed. The
+ old scheme looked like:
+ #include <freetype/freetype.h>
+ #include <freetype/ftglyph.h>
+ #include <freetype/ftcache.h>
+ #include <freetype/cache/ftimage.h>
- - many, many comments have been added to the public source file in
- order to automatically generate the API Reference through the
- "docmaker.py" Python script.
-
- The latter has been updated to support the grouping of sections
- in chapters, and better index sort. See:
+ Now you should use:
- http://www.freetype.org/freetype2/docs/reference/ft2-toc.html
+ #include <ft2build.h>
+ #include FT_FREETYPE_H
+ #include FT_GLYPH_H
+ #include FT_CACHE_H
+ #include FT_CACHE_IMAGE_H
+ NOTE THAT THE OLD INCLUSION SCHEME WILL STILL WORK WITH THIS
+ RELEASE. HOWEVER, WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT THIS WILL STILL BE
+ TRUE IN THE NEXT ONE (A.K.A. FREETYPE 2.1).
- III. CHANGES TO THE BUILD PROCESS
-
-
- - if you're not building FreeType 2 with our own build system (i.e. with
- your own Makefiles or project files), you'll need to be aware that the
- build process as changed a little bit. Namely:
-
- - you don't need to put the "src" directory in the include path
- when compiling any FT2 component
-
- - instead, simply put the component's directory in the current
- include path.
-
- So, if you were doing something like:
-
- cc -c -Iinclude -Isrc src/base/ftbase.c
-
- change the line to:
-
- cc -c -Iinclude -Isrc/base src/base/ftbase.c
-
-
- If you were doing something like:
-
- cd src/base
- cc -c -I../../include -I.. ftbase.c
-
- change it to:
-
- cd src/base
- cc -c -I../../include ftbase.c
-
-
- - the build system has changed slightly when compiling by hand (either
- from the command line or from an IDE). You don't need to put the "src"
- directory in the include path anymore. Rather, place each component's
- path.. See INSTALL and "docs/BUILD" for details..

+ The file <ft2build.h> is used to define the header filename
+ macros. The complete and commented list of macros is available
+ in the API reference under the section name "Header File Macros"
+ in Chapter I.
- 2.0.1 introduces a few changes:
+ For more information, see section I of the following document:
- - fixed many bugs related to the support of CFF / OpenType fonts.
- These formats are now much better supported though there is still
- work planned to deal with Charset tables and PDF-embedded CFF
- files that use the old "seac" command.
-
- - the library could not be compiled in debug mode with a very small
- number of C compilers whose pre-processors didn't implement the
- "##" directive correctly (i.e. per se the ANSI C specification!)
- An elegant fix was found.
-
- - added support for the free Borland command-line C++ Builder compiler
- use "make setup bcc32" to use it. Also fixed a few source lines that
- generated new warnings with BCC32.
-
- - fixed a bug in FT_Outline_Get_BBox when computing the extrema of
- a conic Bezier arc.
-
- - updated the INSTALL file to add IDE compilation.
+ http://www.freetype.org/
+ freetype2/docs/tutorial/step1.html
- - other minor bug fixes, from invalid Type 1 style flags to correct
- support of synthetic (obliqued) fonts in the auto-hinter, better
- support for embedded bitmaps in a SFNT font.
+ or
- - fixed some problems with "freetype-config"
+ http://freetype.sourceforge.net/
+ freetype2/docs/tutorial/step1.html
+ - Many, many comments have been added to the public source file in
+ order to automatically generate the API Reference through the

-=========================================================================
-CHANGES BETWEEN beta8 and 2.0
- - changed the default installation path for public headers from
- "include/freetype" to "include/freetype2".
+ III. CHANGES TO THE BUILD PROCESS
- Also added a new "freetype-config" that is automatically
- generated and installed on Unix and Cygwin systems. The
- script itself is used to retrieve the current install path,
- C compilation flags as well as linker flags..
- - fixed several small bugs:
+ - If you are not building FreeType 2 with its own build system
+ (but with your own Makefiles or project files), you will need to
+ be aware that the build process has changed a little bit.
- - incorrect max advance width for fixed-pitch Type 1 fonts
+ You don't need to put the "src" directory in the include path
+ when compiling any FT2 component. Instead, simply put the
+ component's directory in the current include path.
- - incorrect glyph names for certain TrueType fonts
+ So, if you were doing something like:
- - the glyph advance was not copied when FT_Glyph_To_Bitmap was called
+ cc -c -Iinclude -Isrc src/base/ftbase.c
- - the linearHoriAdvance and linerVertAdvance fields were not
- correctly returned for glyphs processed by the auto-hinter
+ change the line to:
- - "type1z" renamed back to "type1"; the old "type1" module has been
- removed
+ cc -c -Iinclude -Isrc/base src/base/ftbase.c
- - revamped the build system to make it a lot more generic. This will
- allow us to re-use nearly un-modified in lots of other projects
- (including FreeType Layout)
+ If you were doing something like:
- - changed "cid" to use "psaux" too..
+ cd src/base
+ cc -c -I../../include -I.. ftbase.c
- - added the cache sub-system. See <freetype/ftcache.h> as well as the
- sources in "src/cache". Note that it compiles but is still untested
- for now ..
+ change it to:
- - updated "docs/docmaker.py", a draft API reference is available at
- http://www.freetype.org/ft2api.html
+ cd src/base
+ cc -c -I../../include ftbase.c
- - changed "type1" to use "psaux"
- - created a new module named "psaux" to hold the Type 1 & Type 2 parsing
- routines. It should be used by "type1", "cid" and "cff" in the future
+======================================================================
- - fixed an important bug in "FT_Glyph_Get_CBox"
+LATEST CHANGES BETWEEN 2.0.1 and 2.0:
- - fixed some compiler warnings that happened since the TrueType
- bytecode decoder was deactivated by default..
- - fixed two memory leaks:
- - the memory manager (16 bytes) isn't released in FT_Done_FreeType !!
+ 2.0.1 introduces a few changes:
- - using custom input streams, the copy of the original stream
- was never released
+ - Fixed many bugs related to the support of CFF / OpenType fonts.
+ These formats are now much better supported though there is
+ still work planned to deal with charset tables and PDF-embedded
+ CFF files that use the old "seac" command.
- - fixed the auto-hinter by performing automatic computation of the
- "filling direction" of each glyph. This is done through a simple and
- fast approximation, and seems to work (problems spotted by Werner
- though). The Arphic fonts are a lot nicer though there are still a
- lot of things to do to handle Asian fonts correctly..
+ - The library could not be compiled in debug mode with a very
+ small number of C compilers whose pre-processors didn't
+ implement the "##" directive correctly (i.e. per se the ANSI C
+ specification!) An elegant fix was found.

- - deactivated the "src/type1" font driver. Now "src/type1z" is
- used by default..
+ - Updated the INSTALL file to add IDE compilation.
- - updates to the build system. We now compile the library correctly
- under Unix system through "configure" which is automatically called
- on the first "make" invocation.
+ - Other minor bug fixes, from invalid Type 1 style flags to
+ correct support of synthetic (obliqued) fonts in the
+ auto-hinter, better support for embedded bitmaps in a SFNT font.
- - added the auto-hinting module !!. Fixing some bugs here and there..

- font drivers..
+ Finally, the "standard" scheme for including FreeType headers is now

+ (probably 2.0.2).
- - renamed the directory "freetype2/config" to "freetype2/builds" and
- updated all relevant files..
+ And very special thanks to Tom Kacvinsky and YAMANO-UCHI Hidetoshi
+ for their contributions!
- - found a memory leak in the "type1" driver
- - incorporated Tom's patches to support flex operators correctly
- in OpenType/CFF fonts.. Now all I need is to support pure CFF
- and CEF fonts to be done with this driver.. :-)
+======================================================================
- - added the Windows FNT/FON driver in "src/winfonts". For now,
- it always "simulates" a Unicode charmap, so it shouldn't be
- considered completed right now..
+CHANGES BETWEEN beta8 and 2.0
- It's there to be more a proof of concept than anything else
- anyway. The driver is a single C source file, that compiles
- to 3 Kb of code..
+ - Changed the default installation path for public headers from
+ "include/freetype" to "include/freetype2".
- I'm still working on the PCF/BDF drivers.. but I'm too lazy
- to finish them now..
+ Also added a new "freetype-config" that is automatically generated
+ and installed on Unix and Cygwin systems. The script itself is

+ well as linker flags.

+ correctly returned for glyphs processed by the auto-hinter.
+ * "type1z" renamed back to "type1"; the old "type1" module has
+ been removed.
- o FT_Get_Kerning has a new parameter that allows you to select
- the coordinates of the kerning vector ( font units, scaled,
- scaled + grid-fitted ).
+ - Revamped the build system to make it a lot more generic. This
+ will allow us to re-use nearly un-modified in lots of other
+ projects (including FreeType Layout).
- o the outline functions are now in <freetype/ftoutln.h> and not
- part of <freetype/freetype.h> anymore
+ - Changed "cid" to use "psaux" too.
- o <freetype/ftmodule.h> now contains declarations for
- FT_New_Library, FT_Done_Library, FT_Add_Default_Modules
+ - Added the cache sub-system. See <freetype/ftcache.h> as well as
+ the sources in "src/cache". Note that it compiles but is still
+ untested for now.
- o the so-called convenience functions have moved from "ftoutln.c"
- to "ftglyph.c", and are thus available with this optional component
- of the library. They are declared in <freetype/ftglyph.h> now..
+ - Updated "docs/docmaker.py", a draft API reference is available at
+ http://www.freetype.org/ft2api.html.
- o anti-aliased rendering is now the default for FT_Render_Glyph
- (i.e. corresponds to render_mode == 0 == ft_render_mode_normal).
- To generate a monochrome bitmap, use ft_render_mode_mono, or the
- FT_LOAD_MONOCHROME flag in FT_Load_Glyph/FT_Load_Char.
+ - Changed "type1" to use "psaux".
- FT_LOAD_ANTI_ALIAS is still defined, but values to 0.
+ - Created a new module named "psaux" to hold the Type 1 & Type 2
+ parsing routines. It should be used by "type1", "cid", and "cff"
+ in the future.
- o <freetype/freetype.h> now include <freetype/config/ftconfig.h>,
- solving a few headaches :-)
+ - Fixed an important bug in "FT_Glyph_Get_CBox".
- o the type FT_GlyphSlotRec has now a "library" field.
+ - Fixed some compiler warnings that happened since the TrueType
+ bytecode decoder was deactivated by default.
+ - Fixed two memory leaks:
+ * The memory manager (16 bytes) isn't released in
+ FT_Done_FreeType!
+ * Using custom input streams, the copy of the original stream was
+ never released.
- - CHANGES TO THE "ftglyph.h" API

+ "filling direction" of each glyph. This is done through a simple
+ and fast approximation, and seems to work (problems spotted by
+ Werner though). The Arphic fonts are a lot nicer though there are
+ still a lot of things to do to handle Asian fonts correctly.
- This API has been severely modified in order to make it simpler,
- clearer, and more efficient. It certainly now looks like a real
- "glyph factory" object, and allows client applications to manage
- (i.e. transform, bbox and render) glyph images without ever knowing
- their original format.
- - added support for CID-keyed fonts to the CFF driver.
- maybe support for pure CFF + CEF fonts should come in ??
+======================================================================
+BETA-8 (RELEASE CANDIDATE) CHANGES
- - cleaned up source code in order to avoid two functions with the
- same name. Also changed the names of the files in "type1z" from
- "t1XXXX" to "z1XXXX" in order to avoid any conflicts.
+ - Deactivated the TrueType bytecode interpreter by default.
- "make multi" now works well :-)
+ - Deactivated the "src/type1" font driver. Now "src/type1z" is used
+ by default.
- Also removed the use of "cidafm" for now, even if the source files
- are still there. This functionality will certainly go into a specific
- module..
+ - Updates to the build system. We now compile the library correctly
+ under Unix system through "configure" which is automatically
+ called on the first "make" invocation.
+ - Added the auto-hinting module! Fixing some bugs here and there.
+ - Found some bugs in the composite loader (seac) of the Type1-based
+ font drivers.
- - ADDED SUPPORT FOR THE AUTO-HINTER
+ - Renamed the directory "freetype2/config" to "freetype2/builds" and
+ updated all relevant files.
- It works :-) I have a demo program which simply is a copy of "ftview"
- that does a FT_Add_Module( library, &autohinter_module_class ) after
- library initialisation, and Type 1 & OpenType/CFF fonts are now hinted.
+ - Found a memory leak in the "type1" driver.
- CID fonts are not hinted, as they include no charmap and the auto-hinter
- doesn't include "generic" global metrics computations yet..
+ - Incorporated Tom's patches to support flex operators correctly in
+ OpenType/CFF fonts. Now all I need is to support pure CFF and CEF
+ fonts to be done with this driver :-)
- Now, I need to release this thing to the FreeType 2 source..
+ - Added the Windows FNT/FON driver in "src/winfonts". For now, it
+ always "simulates" a Unicode charmap, so it shouldn't be
+ considered completed right now.

- - CHANGES TO THE RENDERER MODULES
+ - CHANGES TO THE "ftglyph.h" API
- the monochrome and smooth renderers are now in two distinct directories,
- namely "src/raster1" and "src/smooth". Note that the old "src/renderer"
- is now gone..
+ This API has been severely modified in order to make it simpler,
+ clearer, and more efficient. It certainly now looks like a real
+ "glyph factory" object, and allows client applications to manage
+ (i.e. transform, bbox and render) glyph images without ever
+ knowing their original format.
- I ditched the 5-gray-levels renderers. Basically, it involved a simple
- #define toggle in 'src/raster1/ftraster.c'
+ - Added support for CID-keyed fonts to the CFF driver. Maybe
+ support for pure CFF + CEF fonts should come in?
- FT_Render_Glyph, FT_Outline_Render & FT_Outline_Get_Bitmap now select

- The FT_Module type is now defined to represent a handle to a given
- module. The file <freetype/ftmodule.h> contains the FT_Module_Class
- definition, as well as the module-loading public API
+ The monochrome and smooth renderers are now in two distinct
+ directories, namely "src/raster1" and "src/smooth". Note that the
+ old "src/renderer" is now gone.
- The FT_Driver type is still defined, and still represents a pointer
- to a font driver. Note that FT_Add_Driver is replaced by FT_Add_Module,
- FT_Get_Driver by FT_Get_Module, etc..
+ I ditched the 5-gray-levels renderers. Basically, it involved a
+ simple #define toggle in 'src/raster1/ftraster.c'.
+ FT_Render_Glyph, FT_Outline_Render & FT_Outline_Get_Bitmap now

+ more information.
- linearHoriAdvance: this field gives the linearly scaled (i.e.

- is useful to perform WYSIWYG text.
+ * FT_GlyphSlot has new fields:

- height for the glyph (relevant in vertical glyph
- layouts only). This is useful to perform
- WYSIWYG text.

- Note that the two above field replace the removed "metrics2" field

+ This field gives the linearly scaled (i.e. scaled but
+ unhinted) advance width for the glyph, expressed as a 16.16
+ fixed pixel value. This is useful to perform WYSIWYG text.
- bitmap_left: this field gives the distance in integer pixels from
- the current pen position to the left-most pixel of
- a glyph image WHEN IT IS A BITMAP. It is only valid
- when the "format" field is set to
- "ft_glyph_format_bitmap", for example, after calling
- the new function FT_Render_Glyph.
+ linearVertAdvance:
+ This field gives the linearly scaled advance height for the
+ glyph (relevant in vertical glyph layouts only). This is

- bitmap_top: this field gives the distance in integer pixels from

- the top-most pixel of the glyph image WHEN IT IS A
- BITMAP. Positive values correspond to upwards Y.
+ Note that the two above field replace the removed "metrics2"

- loader: this is a new private field for the glyph slot. Client
- applications should not touch it..
+ advance:
+ This field is a vector that gives the transformed advance for

- - a transform can be specified for a face through FT_Set_Transform.
- this transform is applied by FT_Load_Glyph to scalable glyph images
- (i.e. NOT TO BITMAPS) before the function returns, unless the
- bit flag FT_LOAD_IGNORE_TRANSFORM was set in the load flags..
+ * Support for transforms and direct rendering in FT_Load_Glyph:
- - once a glyph image has been loaded, it can be directly converted to
- a bitmap by using the new FT_Render_Glyph function. Note that this
- function takes the glyph image from the glyph slot, and converts
- it to a bitmap whose properties are returned in "face.glyph.bitmap",
- "face.glyph.bitmap_left" and "face.glyph.bitmap_top". The original
- native image might be lost after the conversion.
