> No, (good) auto-hinting is not available for monochrome display. Does this mean even if I load the glyph with FT_LOAD_FORCE_AUTOHINT, the autofit algorithm also will not perform any hinting? I'm using the TrueType font, any way to improve the hinting other than FT_LOAD_TARGET_MONO?

If the problem persists please provide a small stand-alone code snippet for testing purposes that I can compile and run on the command line. bad case : Segmentation fault "potentially unexpected fatal signal 11" -->tried with combination of FT_LOAD_RENDER | FT_LOAD_FORCE_AUTOHINT FT_LOAD_RENDER | FT_LOAD_TARGET_MONO | FT_LOAD_FORCE_AUTOHINT FT_LOAD_RENDER | FT_LOAD_MONOCHROME | FT_LOAD_FORCE_AUTOHINT [image: image.png] Good case [image: image.png] Thank You.
