Subject: CVS commit: pkgsrc/graphics/freetype2
From: Aleksey Cheusov
Date: 2011-08-03 10:25:41
Message id: 20110803082542.15BA6175DD@cvs.netbsd.org
Log Message:
Fixed: build failure on 5.99.55
Update to 2.4.6, No answer from maintainer.
CHANGES BETWEEN 2.4.5 and 2.4.6
I. IMPORTANT BUG FIXES
- For TrueType based fonts, the ascender and descender values were
incorrect sometimes (off by a pixel if the ppem value was not a
multiple of 5). Depending on the use you might now experience
a different layout; the change should result in better, more
consistent line spacing.
- Fix CVE-2011-0226 which causes a vulnerability while handling
Type 1 fonts.
- BDF fonts containing glyphs with negative values for ENCODING
were incorrectly rejected. This bug has been introduced in
FreeType version 2.2.0.
- David Bevan contributed a major revision of the FreeType stroker
code:
. The behaviour of FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_BEVEL has been corrected.
. A new line join style, FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_MITER_FIXED, has
been introduced to support PostScript and PDF miter joins.
. FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_MITER_VARIABLE has been introduced ches has
been fixed.
II. MISCELLANEOUS
- SFNT bitmap fonts which contain an outline glyph for `.notdef'
only no longer set the FT_FACE_FLAG_SCALABLE flag.
CHANGES BETWEEN 2.4.4 and 2.4.5
I. IMPORTANT BUG FIXES
- A rendering regression for second-order B#zier curves has been
fixed, introduced in 2.4.3.
II. IMPORTANT CHANGES
- If autohinting is not explicitly disabled, FreeType now uses
the autohinter if a TrueType based font doesn't contain native
hints.
- The load flag FT_LOAD_IGNORE_GLOBAL_ADVANCE_WIDTH has been made
redundant and is simply ignored; this means that FreeType now
ignores the global advance width value in TrueType fonts.
III. MISCELLANEOUS
- `FT_Sfnt_Table_Info' can now return the number of SFNT tables of
a font.
- Support for PCF files compressed with bzip2 has been contributed
by Joel Klinghed. To make this work, the OS must provide a
bzip2 library.
- Bradley Grainger contributed project and solution files in
Visual Studio 2010 format.
- Again some fixes to better handle broken fonts.
