(FT_GlyphSlot_Oblique and FT_Outline_Transform) When I use FT_Outline_Transform for oblique, Werner suggest not to change glyph's advance. (http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/freetype/2011-01/msg00030.html) Then the end of the sentence is not displayed properly. The last glyph is cutted. When I tested with changing glyph's advance(wider than original advance), The last glyph is displayed properly. But overall display is not good. My question is: 1. Werner said that changing advance width is not needed for oblique. I want to know reason in detail. 2. How can I resolve this issue? Changing advance width is best way?

I like to install FreetTpe2 make use it with via the SDL API, or better said the SDL_ttf library which is a wrapper for FreeType2. My System is VISTA64/MinGW32/SDL I have to admit that I am not a splendid programmer. But I have MinGW32 successfully installed and the SDL API inclusive SDL_mixer, which is a Audio library. When I now install SDL_ttf it seems to be right, but I get no text output. the compilation runs well. When I look at my installation it feels that I have never successfully installed FreeType2. Please excuse my clumbsy question, but what have I exactly to do if I wish to insatll FreeType2 on my VISTA64/MinGW setup?

I cannot find it anywhere in the documentation. I have a code snippet below. Basically when I do the algorithm, the advance amount is not accounting for the width of the outline, so the next character's outline overlaps the previous character. Any suggestions?

In Windows 7, Arial font is Opentype Font and this glyph is composed with 3 outlines, which are references of other glyph, 2 outlines in the same "glyph cell [e]" and 1 in an other "glyph cell [^]". When I use FT_Outline_Decompose in order to draw "e with circumflex", in Windows 7 circumflex is left border aligned. Did I forget something in order to get circumflex centered over glyph "e"?

Many of &gt; them are vulnerabilities (see CVE-2012-1126 up to CVE-2012-1144 &gt; and SA48320) so all users should upgrade. When I go look up those CVEs, MITRE[1] tells me they're under review and NVD[2] says the CVE wasn't found. Searching NVD for "freetype" yields CVE-2011-3439 as the latest. The git log only references "Savannah bug" numbers so I didn't have much luck there either. Is there a CVE&lt;-&gt;bug number map? Or a compiled bug-fix list like what Samba provides in their release notes[3]? I'm happy to go build up my own change list, but there is a relatively huge amount of changes between 2.4.7 (what I have in production) and 2.4.9.

It is available from http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/freetype/ (please read the footnote on this page!) or http://sourceforge.net/projects/freetype/files/ The latter site also holds older versions of the FreeType library. See below for the relevant snippet from the CHANGES file; all users should upgrade. Enjoy! Werner ---------------------------------------------------------------------- FreeType 2 is a software font engine that is 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. Note that FreeType 2 is a font service and doesn't provide APIs to perform higher-level features, like text layout or graphics processing (e.g., colored text rendering, `hollowing', etc.). However, it greatly simplifies these tasks by providing a simple, easy to use, and uniform interface to access the content of font files</pre> Werner LEMBERG 2012-03-08T21:10:36 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.fonts.freetype.user/4383 <pre>Hi List, I am facing a problem which requires the calculation of the equivalent font size (fontSize2) for FT_SIZE_REQUEST_TYPE_NOMINAL, i.e., FT_Set_Char_Size(face, fontSize2 * 64, 0, 0, 0), from the font size set for FT_SIZE_REQUEST_TYPE_REAL_DIM, here equivalent is that, I mean the two ways of setting the font size will produce the same output on my PC screen, (I don't know whether the DPI matters, but it is 96). The reason is that I am using two external projects (which both use FreeType) on my own. One uses NOMINAL font size, the other uses REAL_DIM. I've tried to hack the definition, but it's a way too complicated. So, any ideas/hints/solutions will be eagerly welcomed. p.s.

I've tried to use FreeType2 to render some Korean characters: "게으른이 피었습니다" with font gulim.ttc (GulimChe) and I've received just "???? ??????" instead of appropriate bitmaps. PS: That happens If I choose parameter "Use Unicode Character Set" or "Use Multi-Byte Character Set" in Visual Studio. If i choose "Not Set" for Character set, glyphs even don't load with FT_Load_Glyph. PPS:With Latin characters I've got no problems. By the way, windows function "DrawText" draws "게으른이 피었습니다" normally.

We are having the glyphs in the form of outline points (not standard true-type fonts). We are able to produce spans (FT_Span) with grey scale anti-aliasing for the glyphs using free-type standalone anti -aliasing renderer module (ftgrays.c). Is it possible to produce spans/bitmaps with sub-pixel rendering on vector images using free-type code/library.

This is all without subpixel anti-aliasing (gray-level only). My guess is that this happens because at around 100DPI most 10 point fonts render with 1-pixel wide features, and ''graying'' around that makes it look thicker, but how dark the gray is matters a lot: if it is lighter, on light backgrounds the apparent extra thickness will be less apparent, and viceversa on dark backgrounds. Therefore it would be nice to be able to control how dark is the anti-aliased "fuzz", so it can be rather lighter than the </pre> Peter Grandi 2012-02-11T20:04:44 Search the mailing list at Gmane query http://search.gmane.org/?group=$group=gmane.comp.fonts.freetype.user
