Log Message:
freetype2: update to 2.12.0.
CHANGES BETWEEN 2.11.1 and 2.12.0
I. IMPORTANT CHANGES
- FreeType now handles OT-SVG fonts, to be controlled with
`FT_CONFIG_OPTION_SVG` configuration macro. By default, it can
only load the 'SVG ' table of an OpenType font. However, by using
the `svg-hooks` property of the new 'ot-svg' module it is possible
to register an external SVG rendering engine. The FreeType demo
programs have been set up to use 'librsvg' as the rendering
library.
This work was Moazin Khatti's GSoC 2019 project.
II. MISCELLANEOUS
- The handling of fonts with an 'sbix' table has been improved.
- Corrected bitmap offsets.
- A new tag `FT_PARAM_TAG_IGNORE_SBIX` for `FT_Open_Face` makes
FreeType ignore an 'sbix' table in a font, allowing applications
to access the font's outline glyphs.
- `FT_FACE_FLAG_SBIX` and `FT_FACE_FLAG_SBIX_OVERLAY` together
with their corresponding preprocessor macros `FT_HAS_SBIX` and
`FT_HAS_SBIX_OVERLAY` enable applications to treat 'sbix' tables
as described in the OpenType specification.
- The internal 'zlib' code has been updated to be in sync with the
current 'zlib' version (1.2.11).
- The previously internal load flag `FT_LOAD_SBITS_ONLY` is now
public.
- Some minor improvements of the building systems, in particular
handling of the 'zlib' library (internal vs. external).
- Support for non-desktop Universal Windows Platform.
- Various other minor bug and documentation fixes.
- The `ftdump` demo program shows more information for Type1 fonts
if option `-n` is given.
- `ftgrid` can now display embedded bitmap strikes.
