This is a far cry from a minimal case with a small bit of code to display the problem, so feel free to ignore it.
A user reported to me that fontforge would crash when rasterizing a certain glyph in a font. He provided a patch which caused fontforge to use the grey-scale rasterizer. Same glyph. Same font. Same pixelsize. The black and white rasterizer returns the error code Invalid_Outline from line 3000 of ftraster.c. The grey-scale rasterizer succeeds and returns the correct greymap. I have worked around this in the current cvs of fontforge (so I'm not concerned if no one looks into it). But if anyone has an interest + time to pursue the matter: Start fontforge $ fontforge http://fontforge.sf.net/sfds/ExtragantCapitals.sfd.bz2 Then open the "M" (or "W") glyph. Turn on the background fill (View->Show->Fill) Yesterday's fontforge would crash on this, today's will try to generate a monochrome bitmap, and if that fails try to generate a graymap. _______________________________________________ Freetype-devel mailing list Freetype-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-devel
