According to documentation and some other blog entries of FreeType, it seems that stem darkening is enabled by default for CFF fonts.
[1]https://www.freetype.org/freetype2/docs/reference/ft2-properties.htm l#no-stem-darkening However, when looking at the source, it seems that it’s disabled unconditionally: [2]https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/freetype/freetype2.git/tree/src/cf f/cffobjs.c#n1183 Running git blame shows that it’s disabled in 75722f8, a commit from 5 years ago. Is my understanding correct that stem darkening isn’t actually enabled by default even for CFF? (Although, that would be a bit strange since OpenType fonts does look better than TrueType font on my computer.)
