- 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.  - reformated all modules source code in order to get rid of the basic    data types redifinitions (i.e. "TT_Int" instead of "FT_Int", "T1_Fixed"    instead of "FT_Fixed"). Hence the format-specific prefixes like "TT_",    "T1_", "T2_" and "CID_" are only used for relevant structures..============================================================================OLD CHANGES FOR BETA 7  - bug-fixed the OpenType/CFF parser. It now loads and displays my two    fonts nicely, but I'm pretty certain that more testing is needed :-)  - fixed the crummy Type 1 hinter, it now handles accented characters    correctly (well, the accent is not always well placed, but that's    another problem..)  - added the CID-keyed Type 1 driver in "src/cid". Works pretty well for    only 13 Kb of code ;-) Doesn't read AFM files though, nor the really    useful CMAP files..  - fixed two bugs in the smooth renderer (src/base/ftgrays.c). Thanks to    Boris Letocha for spotting them and providing a fix..  - fixed potential "divide by zero" bugs in ftcalc.c.. my god..  - added source code for the OpenType/CFF driver (still incomplete though..)  - modified the SFNT driver slightly to perform more robust header    checks in TT_Load_SFNT_Header. This prevents certain font files    (e.g. some Type 1 Multiple Masters) from being incorrectly "recognized"    as TrueType font files..  - moved a lot of stuff from the TrueType driver to the SFNT module,    this allows greater code re-use between font drivers (e.g. TrueType,    OpenType, Compact-TrueType, etc..)  - added a tiny segment cache to the SFNT Charmap 4 decoder, in order    to minimally speed it up..  - added support for Multiple Master fonts in "type1z". There is also    a new file named <freetype/ftmm.h> which defines functions to    manage them from client applications.    The new file "src/base/ftmm.c" is also optional to the engine..  - various formatting changes (e.g. EXPORT_DEF -> FT_EXPORT_DEF) +    small bug fixes in FT_Load_Glyph, the "type1" driver, etc..  - a minor fix to the Type 1 driver to let them apply the font matrix    correctly (used for many oblique fonts..)  - some fixes for 64-bit systems (mainly changing some FT_TRACE calls    to use %p instead of %lx).. Thanks to Karl Robillard  - fixed some bugs in the sbit loader (src/base/sfnt/ttsbit.c) + added    a new flag, FT_LOAD_CROP_BITMAP to query that bitmaps be cropped when    loaded from a file (maybe I should move the bitmap cropper to the    base layer ??).  - changed the default number of gray levels of the smooth renderer to    256 (instead of the previous 128). Of course, the human eye can't    see any difference ;-)  - removed TT_MAX_SUBGLYPHS, there is no static limit on the number of    subglyphs in a TrueType font now..=============================================================================OLD CHANGES 16 May 2000  - tagged "BETA-6" in the CVS tree. This one is a serious release candidate    even though it doesn't incorporate the auto-hinter yet..  - various obsolete files were removed, and copyright header updated  - finally updated the standard raster to fix the monochrome rendering bug    + re-enable support for 5-gray levels anti-aliasing (suck, suck..)  - created new header files, and modified sources accordingly:       <freetype/fttypes.h>           - simple FreeType types, without the API       <freetype/internal/ftmemory.h> - definition of memory-management macros  - added the "DSIG" (OpenType Digital Signature) tag to <freetype/tttags.h>  - light update/cleaning of the build system + changes to the sources in    order to get rid of _all_ compiler warnings with three compilers, i.e:      gcc with "-ansi -pedantic -Wall -W", Visual C++ with "/W3 /WX"      and LCC     IMPORTANT NOTE FOR WIN32-LCC USERS:     |     |  It seems the C pre-processor that comes with LCC is broken, it     |  doesn't recognize the ANSI standard directives # and ## correctly     |  when one of the argument is a macro. Also, something like:     |     |     #define F(x)  print##x     |     |     F(("hello"))     |     |  will get incorrectly translated to:     |     |     print "hello")     |     |  by its pre-processor. For this reason, you simply cannot build     |  FreeType 2 in debug mode with this compiler..  - yet another massive grunt work. I've changed the definition of the    EXPORT_DEF, EXPORT_FUNC, BASE_DEF & BASE_FUNC macros. These now take    an argument, which is the function's return value type.    This is necessary to compile FreeType as a DLL on Windows and OS/2.    Depending on the compiler used, a compiler-specific keyword like __export    or __system must be placed before (VisualC++) or after (BorlandC++)    the type..    Of course, this needed a lot of changes throughout the source code    to make it compile again... All cleaned up now, apparently..    Note also that there is a new EXPORT_VAR macro defined to allow the    _declaration_ of an exportable public (constant) variable. This is the    case of the raster interfaces (see ftraster.h and ftgrays.h), as well    as each module's interface (see sfdriver.h, psdriver.h, etc..)  - new feature: it is now possible to pass extra parameters to font                 drivers when creating a new face object. For now, this                 capability is unused. It could however prove to be useful                 in a near future..      the FT_Open_Args structure was changes, as well as the internal      driver interface (the specific "init_face" module function has now      a different signature).  - updated the tutorial (not finished though).  - updated the top-level BUILD  document  - fixed a potential memory leak that could occur when loading embedded    bitmaps.  - added the declaration of FT_New_Memory_Face in <freetype/freetype.h>, as    it was missing from the public header (the implementation was already    in "ftobjs.c").  - the file <freetype/fterrors.h> has been seriously updated in order to    allow the automatic generation of error message tables. See the comments    within it for more information.  - major directory hierarchy re-organisation. This was done for two things:      * first, to ease the "manual" compilation of the library by requiring        at lot less include paths :-)      * second, to allow external programs to effectively access internal        data fields. For example, this can be extremely useful if someone        wants to write a font producer or a font manager on top of FreeType.    Basically, you should now use the 'freetype/' prefix for header inclusion,    as in:        #include <freetype/freetype.h>        #include <freetype/ftglyph.h>    Some new include sub-directories are available:     a. the "freetype/config" directory, contains two files used to        configure the build of the library. Client applications should        not need to look at these normally, but they can if they want.        #include <freetype/config/ftoption.h>        #include <freetype/config/ftconfig.h>     b. the "freetype/internal" directory, contains header files that        describes library internals. These are the header files that were        previously found in the "src/base" and "src/shared" directories.    As usual, the build system and the demos have been updated to reflect    the change..    Here's a layout of the new directory hierarchy:    TOP      include/         freetype/            freetype.h            ...            config/              ftoption.h              ftconfig.h              ftmodule.h            internal/              ftobjs.h              ftstream.h              ftcalc.h              ...      src/         base/            ...         sfnt/         psnames/         truetype/         type1/         type1z/    Compiling a module is now much easier, for example, the following should    work when in the TOP directory on an ANSI build:       gcc -c -I./include -I./src/base src/base/ftbase.c       gcc -c -I./include -I./src/sfnt src/sfnt/sfnt.c       etc..    (of course, using -Iconfig/<system> if you provide system-specific     configuration files).  - updated the structure of FT_Outline_Funcs in order to allow    direct coordinate scaling within the outline decomposition routine    (this is important for virtual "on" points with TrueType outlines)    + updates to the rasters to support this..  - updated the OS/2 table loading code in "src/sfnt/ttload.c" in order    to support version 2 of the table (see OpenType 1.2 spec)  - created "include/tttables.h" and "include/t1tables.h" to allow    client applications to access some of the SFNT and T1 tables of a    face with a procedural interface (see FT_Get_Sfnt_Table())    + updates to internal source files to reflect the change..  - some cleanups in the source code to get rid of warnings when compiling    with the "-Wall -W -ansi -pedantic" options in gcc.  - debugged and moved the smooth renderer to "src/base/ftgrays.c" and    its header to "include/ftgrays.h"  - updated TT_MAX_SUBGLYPHS to 96 as some CJK fonts have composites with    up to 80 sub-glyphs !! Thanks to Werner================================================================================OLD CHANGES - 14-apr-2000  - fixed a bug in the TrueType glyph loader that prevented the correct    loading of some CJK glyphs in mingli.ttf  - improved the standard Type 1 hinter in "src/type1"  - fixed two bugs in the experimental Type 1 driver in "src/type1z"    to handle the new XFree86 4.0 fonts (and a few other ones..)  - the smooth renderer is now complete and supports sub-banding    to render large glyphs at high speed. However, it is still located    in "demos/src/ftgrays.c" and should move to the library itself    in the next beta.. NOTE: The smooth renderer doesn't compile in    stand-alone mode anymore, but this should be fixed RSN..  - introduced convenience functions to more easily deal with glyph    images, see "include/ftglyph.h" for more details, as well as the    new demo program named "demos/src/ftstring.c" that demonstrates    its use  - implemented FT_LOAD_NO_RECURSE in both the TrueType and Type 1    drivers (this is required by the auto-hinter to improve its results).  - changed the raster interface, in order to allow client applications    to provide their own span-drawing callbacks. However, only the    smooth renderer supports this. See "FT_Raster_Params" in the    file "include/ftimage.h"  - fixed a small bug in FT_MulFix that caused incorrect transform    computation !!  - Note: The tutorial is out-of-date, grumpf.. :-(================================================================================OLD CHANGES - 12-mar-2000  - changed the layout of configuration files : now, all ANSI configuration    files are located in "freetype2/config". System-specific over-rides    can be placed in "freetype2/config/<system>".  - moved all configuration macros to "config/ftoption.h"  - improvements in the Type 1 driver with AFM support  - changed the fields in the FT_Outline structure : the old "flags"    array is re-named "tags", while all ancient flags are encoded into    a single unsigned int named "flags".  - introduced new flags in FT_Outline.flags (see ft_outline_.... enums in    "ftimage.h").  - changed outline functions to "FT_Outline_<action>" syntax  - added a smooth anti-alias renderer to the demonstration programs  - added Mac graphics driver (thanks Just)  - FT_Open_Face changed in order to received a pointer to a FT_Open_Args    descriptor..  - various cleanups, a few more API functions implemented (see FT_Attach_File)  - updated some docs================================================================================OLD CHANGES - 22-feb-2000  - introduced the "psnames" module. It is used to:      o convert a Postscript glyph name into the equivalent Unicode        character code (used by the Type 1 driver(s) to synthetize        on the fly a Unicode charmap).
