Hi all,
I've spent the last few hours trying to figure out what was wrong with
my code (because I naturally assume that something is messed up with
*it*. :D ) Well, it turns out that some recent change to Freetype has
broken subpixel hinting.
Compile the last release with subpixel hinting and rendering enabled,
and run ftview on Courier New (Windows 8 version, but others may work):
ftview -r 96 10.0 /usr/share/fonts/windows8/cour.ttf
Hit 'L' twice and the down arrow twice, and Esc. Fails = 0.
Then, compile the latest git with subpixel hinting and rendering
enabled, and repeat. I get 713 fails. I tried reverting certain more
obvious things with the changes since the last release, but wasn't able
to narrow down the cause.
Any ideas on what might have caused this?
Thanks,
Erik
