David Turner 5fe4c00e 2000-07-26T19:04:08 - fixed the incorrect SO extension for Visual C++ - disabled the TrueType interpreter by default - disabled the "type1" driver, "type1z" is now used by default (the internal driver name is "type1" now !!)
David Turner 49bd4f05 2000-07-12T16:57:37 removed some warnings with Visual C++ that prevented compilation
David Turner 1ca6f2d1 2000-07-08T00:49:43 minor update
David Turner 9b3d1c75 2000-07-07T19:47:34 - fixed a leak in the Type 1 driver - updated the CFF driver to support flex opcodes
David Turner c06aba28 2000-06-30T23:38:23 updated the CHANGES file, plus a few fix in "ftstring" to display monochrome glyphs too
David Turner 98258619 2000-06-28T20:43:07 debugged the CFF driver. The "advance width" problem was strictly unrelated to our previous worries, it was a really simple bug in t2gload.c !!
David Turner 81bb4ad9 2000-06-28T04:19:49 latest clean-ups.. The code compiles with NO WARNINGS with GCC and Visual C++ (also with LCC minus debugging options)
David Turner 9d636b6d 2000-06-27T23:32:27 various cleanups to reduce compiler warnings + support for CID-keyed fonts in the CFF driver (still some unexpected bugs though..)
David Turner f0df85ba 2000-06-22T00:17:42 - MAJOR INTERNAL REDESIGN: A lot of internal modifications have been performed lately on the source in order to provide the following enhancements: - more generic module support: 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 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.. - support for generic glyph image types: The FT_Renderer type is a pointer to a module used to perform various operations on glyph image. Each renderer is capable of handling images in a single format (e.g. ft_glyph_format_outline). Its functions are used to: - transform an glyph image - render a glyph image into a bitmap - return the control box (dimensions) of a given glyph image The scan converters "ftraster.c" and "ftgrays.c" have been moved to the new directory "src/renderer", and are used to provide two default renderer modules. One corresponds to the "standard" scan-converter, the other to the "smooth" one. The current renderer can be set through the new function FT_Set_Renderer. The old raster-related function FT_Set_Raster, FT_Get_Raster and FT_Set_Raster_Mode have now disappeared, in favor of the new: FT_Get_Renderer FT_Set_Renderer see the file <freetype/ftrender.h> for more details.. These changes were necessary to properly support different scalable formats in the future, like bi-color glyphs, etc.. - glyph loader object: A new internal object, called a 'glyph loader' has been introduced in the base layer. It is used by all scalable format font drivers to load glyphs and composites. This object has been created to reduce the code size of each driver, as each one of them basically re-implemented its functionality. See <freetype/internal/ftobjs.h> and the FT_GlyphLoader type for more information.. - FT_GlyphSlot had new fields: In order to support extended features (see below), the FT_GlyphSlot structure has a few new fields: linearHoriAdvance: 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. linearVertAdvance: this field gives the linearly scaled advance 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 in the glyph slot. advance: this field is a vector that gives the transformed advance for the glyph. By default, it corresponds to the advance width, unless FT_LOAD_VERTICAL_LAYOUT was specified when calling FT_Load_Glyph or FT_Load_Char 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. bitmap_top: this field gives the distance in integer pixels from the current pen position (located on the baseline) to the top-most pixel of the glyph image WHEN IT IS A BITMAP. Positive values correspond to upwards Y. loader: this is a new private field for the glyph slot. Client applications should not touch it.. - support for transforms and direct rendering in FT_Load_Glyph: Most of the functionality found in <freetype/ftglyph.h> has been moved to the core library. Hence, the following: - 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.. - 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. - when using the new bit flag FT_LOAD_RENDER, the FT_Load_Glyph and FT_Load_Char functions will call FT_Render_Glyph automatically when needed.
David Turner f9b8dec4 2000-06-16T19:34:52 major reformatting of the modules source code in order to get rid of most of the basic types redefinitions (i.e. FT_Int instead of "FT_Int", etc..) The format-specific prefixs like "TT_", "T1_", "T2_" & 'CID_" are now only used in relevant structures.. fixed Werner's fix to t2gload.c :-) other small bug fixes
David Turner 2b9be99c 2000-06-07T23:41:17 a simple commit for Beta 7, I have disabled tracing in this commit, and will re-enable it later..
David Turner 04aa800c 2000-06-01T03:27:48 added a CID-keyed font driver in "src/cid" fixed two bugs in the smooth renderer
David Turner 4f99c3c4 2000-05-29T20:55:13 fixed divide by zero bug added CFF/OpenType driver source (not working for now)
David Turner 2e421319 2000-05-26T22:13:17 moved a lot of things from the TrueType driver to the SFNT module (whose interface has changed, by the way) This allows even more code re-use between TrueType and OpenType formats..
David Turner 11187206 2000-05-26T17:13:23 finalised the multiple masters support fixed some nasty little bugs too
David Turner f5dcdd5c 2000-05-23T22:16:27 minor fix to the Type1 driver(s) to apply the font matrix when necessary..
David Turner 51179f0a 2000-05-18T16:18:05 some fixes for 64-bit systems. Mainly changed some FT_TRACE calls to use %p instead of %lx when dumping a pointer address
David Turner 109fcf60 2000-05-17T23:35:37 fixed the sbit loader (src/base/sfnt/ttsbit.c) introduced a new load flag (FT_LOAD_CROP_BITMAP) used to indicate that we want embedded bitmaps to be cropped.. Thanks a lot to Yamano-uchi, Hidetoshi
David Turner 3475e7fb 2000-05-17T20:56:01 removed TT_MAX_SUBGLYPHS macro, there is no static limit on the number of subglyphs in a TrueType font.. changed the default number of gray levels used by the smooth renderer to 256 (instead of 128). Of course, the human eye can't tell a difference ;-)
David Turner e49ab25c 2000-05-16T23:44:38 formatting - removed trailing spaces
David Turner 968f0c37 2000-05-16T23:26:01 update
David Turner c60c61c6 2000-05-12T15:26:58 fixed a potential memory leak when loading embedded bitmaps
David Turner c30aea98 2000-05-12T15:01:18 another massive changes in order to completely avoid compiler warnings with GCC + "-ansi -pedantic -Wall -W" and LCC. Also fixed the compilation of "type1z" with Win32-LCC (its pre-processor is broken !!) Updated the BUILD document too
David Turner bfe2f98f 2000-05-12T12:17:15 a new massive grunt work. Redefined the EXPORT_DEF, EXPORT_FUNC, BASE_DEF and BASE_FUNC macros to let them take an argument.. This is needed to compile the library as a DLL on some platforms that have different compiler conventions..
