IMPORTANT BUG FIXES + + - Some vulnerabilities in the BDF implementation have been fixed. + Users of this font format should upgrade. + + + II. IMPORTANT CHANGES + + - Subpixel hinting support has been contributed by Infinality, + based on Greg Hitchcock's whitepaper at + + http://www.microsoft.com/typography/cleartype/truetypecleartype.aspx + + Originally, it was a separate patch available from + + http://www.infinality.net/blog/ + + and which has been integrated. + + Note that ClearType support is not completely implemented! In + particular, full support for the options `compatible_widths', + `symmetrical_smoothing, and `bgr' (via the GETINFO bytecode + instruction) is missing. + + Activation of subpixel hinting support can be controlled with + the `TT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_HINTING' configuration option; it + is switched off by default. This feature is still experimental; + we welcome test reports! + + - Support for OpenType collections (OTC) has been added. + + - Pure CFF fonts within an SFNT wrapper are now supported. + + + III. MISCELLANEOUS + + - Minor rendering improvements to the auto-hinter. + + - `FT_GlyphSlot_Oblique' now uses a shear angle of 12°. + + - Experimental support to handle `property modules', for example + to control the behaviour of the auto-hinter. The API consists + of two new functions, `FT_Property_Set' and `FT_Property_Get'. + + The code is still subject to change and should not be used for + production. + + - The `ftdiff' demo program now supports UTF-8 encoded input files + for option `-f'. + + - Using keys `r' and `R', you can now adjust the stroker radius in + the `ftview' demo program. + + - Other, minor fixes and improvements. + + +====================================================================== + CHANGES BETWEEN 2.4.9 and 2.4.10 I.
