./graphics/freetype2, Font rendering engine and library API

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 2.4.2, Package name: freetype2-2.4.2, Maintainer: rh

FreeType is a portable, high-quality software solution for digital
typography. FreeType 1.3.1 was the last release of the FreeType 1
engine, as the project is now switching to a new version dubbed FreeType
2. It has, among other things, several advantages over FreeType 1:

* A universal and simple API to manage font files
* Support for several font formats through loadable drivers
* Even more portable
* An improved anti-aliasing algorithm

Update to freetype2-2.4.2:

CHANGES BETWEEN 2.4.1 and 2.4.2
  I. IMPORTANT BUG FIXES
    - A stack overflow in CFF Type2 CharStrings interpreter is fixed.
    - Handling Type 42 font deallocation was broken; additionally, the
      library is now more robust against malformed Type 42 fonts.
  II. MISCELLANEOUS
    - Two new functions,  `FT_Reference_Library' (in FT_MODULE_H)  and
      `FT_Reference_Face'  (in  FT_FREETYPE_H),  have  been  added  to
      simplify life-cycle management.  A counter gets initialized to 1
      at the  time an  FT_Library (or  FT_Face) structure  is created.
      The  two  new   functions  increment  the  respective   counter.
      `FT_Done_Library' and `FT_Done_Face' then only destroy a library
      or face if the counter is 1, otherwise they simply decrement the
      counter.

Log message:
update to 2.4.1
changes:
- Since May  2010, all  patents  regarding  the TrueType  bytecode
  interpreter have expired worldwide.  Consequently, we now define
  TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER by  default (and  undefine
  TT_CONFIG_OPTION_UNPATENTED_HINTING).
- A new function `FT_Library_SetLcdFilterWeights' is available  to
  adjust the filter weights set by `FT_Library_SetLcdFilter'.
-increased robustness, bugfixes

pkgsrc note: the "truetype" option was removed, the bytecode interpreter
is now always enabled

  FT_CONFIG_OPTION_INCREMENTAL macro) is now active by default.
