I strongly suspect that this fix is inadequate. Skia continues to pre-allocate the buffer too early. The fix just fits the FreeType buffer in the pre-allocated space. It happens to work for ClearType because we shrunk our buffer in this case. The default LCD image, on the other hand, is now a bit larger, so it won't fit in the pre-allocated space. I do not understand why Skia pre-allocates the buffer instead of just taking what FreeType returns. That would be a better fix. _______________________________________________ Freetype-devel mailing list Freetype-devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-devel
