Folks,
I've meanwhile started with coding on my ttfautohint project, but right now it's under heavy development attacks and not really something you want to look at. Note that I've started with the framework first, this is, the code to split a font into its SFNT tables (this is finished) and to build a TTF or TTC again (this is to come these days). http://repo.or.cz/w/ttfautohint.git The reason why I write to this list at this time is that I've fixed a deficiency in the FT_Sfnt_Table_Info function: Up to FreeType version 2.4.4, this function returned FT_Err_Table_Missing for two cases: Either the given table index is invalid, or the table is empty. The latter doesn't happen in `good' TTFs, but Windows, for example, handles such fonts gracefully, simply ignoring empty SFNT tables, and so does FreeType. An unfortunate consequence was that this loop while (FT_Sfnt_Table_Info(face, idx, &tag, &len) != FT_Err_Table_Missing) { ... } could exit prematurely. To fix that, the git repository (and thus the forthcoming version 2.4.5) now contains an improved version of FT_Sfnt_Table_Info which can return the number of SFNT tables also: error = FT_Sfnt_Table_Info(face, 0, NULL, &num_tables); if (error) { ... } for (i = 0; i < num_tables; i++) { error = FT_Sfnt_Table_Info(face, idx, &tag, &len); if (error == FT_Err_Table_Missing) { ... } ... } Werner _______________________________________________ Freetype-devel mailing list Freetype-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-devel
