I found FreeType 2.8 can load it without hinting, but current head would load it with or without. FreeType 2.8 is "happier", but not happy. > The problem is actually a bug in (older?) versions of the `glyphs' font editor, AFAIK: It doesn't properly remove the `prep' and `fpgm' tables if you want to create a font without hinting. You mean https://www.glyphsapp.com/ ? It is reputable, but libre fonts being manipulated/maintained by proprietary app feels strange.... > Leaving crap in those tables probably works with Windows – it seems that executing `prep' and `fpgm' gets only triggered by the first glyph that contains bytecode – but not with FreeType, which executes those two tables unconditionally if hinting is requested. That might be a long-term change to make? _______________________________________________ Freetype-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-devel
