Description
Update FreeType to v. 2.8.1
https://sourceforge.net/projects/freetype/files/freetype2/2.8.1/
CHANGES BETWEEN 2.8 and 2.8.1
|
|
I. IMPORTANT BUG FIXES
|
|
- B/W hinting of TrueType fonts didn't work properly if
|
interpreter version 38 or 40 was selected.
|
|
- Some severe problems within the handling of TrueType Variation
|
Fonts were found and fixed.
|
|
- Function `FT_Set_Var_Design_Coordinates' didn't correctly handle
|
the case with less input coordinates than axes.
|
|
|
II. IMPORTANT CHANGES
|
|
- By default, FreeType now offers high quality LCD-optimized
|
output without resorting to ClearType techniques of resolution
|
tripling and filtering. In this method, called Harmony, each
|
color channel is generated separately after shifting the glyph
|
outline, capitalizing on the fact that the color grids on LCD
|
panels are shifted by a third of a pixel. This output is
|
indistinguishable from ClearType with a light 3-tap filter.
