[sfnt] Rewrite GPOS kerning support. (2/2) The previous code had a fundamental flaw: it didn't validate the necessary parts of the 'GPOS' table before accessing it, causing crashes with malformed data (since `TT_CONFIG_OPTION_GPOS_KERNING` is off by default, standard fuzzers don't catch these problems). Additionally, it did a lot of parsing while accessing kerning data, making it rather slow. The new implementation fixes this. After validation, offsets to the 'GPOS' lookup subtables used in the 'kern' feature that correspond to 'simple' kerning (i.e., similar to 'kern' table kerning) are stored in `TT_Face`; this greatly simplifies and accelerates access to the kerning data. Testing with font `SF-Pro.ttf` version '1.00', the validation time for the 'GPOS' table increases the start-up time of `FT_New_Face` by less than 1%, while calls to `FT_Get_Kerning` become about 3.5 times faster. * include/freetype/internal (gpos_kerning_available): Replace with... (gpos_lookups_kerning, num_gpos_lookups_kerning): ... these new fields. Update callers. * src/ttgpos.c [TT_CONFIG_OPTION_GPOS_KERNING]: A new implementation.

FreeType 2.13.3 =============== Homepage: https://freetype.org FreeType is a freely available software library to render fonts. It is written in C, designed to be small, efficient, highly customizable, and portable while capable of producing high-quality output (glyph images) of most vector and bitmap font formats. Please read the `docs/CHANGES` file, it contains IMPORTANT INFORMATION. Read the files `docs/INSTALL*` for installation instructions; see the file `LICENSE.TXT` for the available licenses. For using FreeType's git repository instead of a distribution bundle, please read file `README.git`. Note that you have to actually clone the repository; using a snapshot will not work (in other words, don't use gitlab's 'Download' button). The FreeType 2 API reference is located in directory `docs/reference`; use the file `index.html` as the top entry point. [Please note that currently the search function for locally installed documentation doesn't work due to cross-site scripting issues.] Additional documentation is available as a separate package from our sites. Go to https://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/freetype/ and download one of the following files. freetype-doc-2.13.3.tar.xz freetype-doc-2.13.3.tar.gz ftdoc2133.zip To view the documentation online, go to https://freetype.org/freetype2/docs/ Mailing Lists ------------- The preferred way of communication with the FreeType team is using e-mail lists. general use and discussion: freetype@nongnu.org engine internals, porting, etc.: freetype-devel@nongnu.org announcements: freetype-announce@nongnu.org git repository tracker: freetype-commit@nongnu.org The lists are moderated; see https://freetype.org/contact.html how to subscribe. Bugs ---- Please submit bug reports at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype/freetype/-/issues Alternatively, you might report bugs by e-mail to `freetype-devel@nongnu.org`. Don't forget to send a detailed explanation of the problem -- there is nothing worse than receiving a terse message that only says 'it doesn't work'. Patches ------- For larger changes please provide merge requests at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype/freetype/-/merge_requests Alternatively, you can send patches to the `freetype-devel@nongnu.org` mailing list -- and thank you in advance for your work on improving FreeType! Details on the process can be found here: https://freetype.org/developer.html#patches Enjoy!
