Hello !
Uh, oh, you are mixing up things.
I am sorry for that, this font stuff is so complicated for me to understand.
The metrics used by a word processor are *not* the autohinted metrics. It would be completely crazy to do so since you get a dependency on the font size and screen/printer resolution. Autohinted metrics are good for screen menus and the like only. The same is true for the bytecode interpreter, BTW. In case the unhinted metrics for Times New Roman and Liberation Serif are identical, they will stay identically on paper, regardless whether you use the autohinter or the bytecode interpreter for rendering glyphs on screen. In case you get different results, something is severely broken in your word processing application.
Should Firefox then with "Autohint true" display for example the line "Test Test Test Test" in Times New Roman and Liberation Serif on the screen the same size or not ? So that it wordwraps at the exact same character ? CU _______________________________________________ Freetype mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype
