Hello -
I've been looking into various FreeType issues related to the
combination of CFF2 and hinting. As part of that I ran into the
phenomenon represented in the attached capture of ftgrid. Which, to
summarize, has a rendering artifact caused by overlap.
It seemed like the simplest answer to this was to mark all outlines
extracted from a CFF2 font as FT_OUTLINE_OVERLAP, because there's no
inexpensive method of detecting it. And so I added code to do that and
verified it was heeded in ftsmooth.c -- but the ftgrid output didn't
look any different.
So I thought I would ask here: Is this what can be expected given the
path data or is there something else I should be looking at tweaking?
Thanks,
