I use these two scripts to force the autofitter for non-glyf fonts (there is an open rfe for freetype to replace the type1/cff hinting module with one which uses the autofit module, but taking advantage of the type1/cff hints; this would be an excellent project for anyone who wants to delve into font rasterization techniques) and to set the filtering to match the chosen hinting option. Combined with fc code akin to: !-- cut here -- match target=font test name=family stringVL Gothic/string /test edit name=autohint mode=assign booltrue/bool /edit /match !-- and here -- one can force the autofitter for some glyf fonts and use the bci for others. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Fedora-fonts-bugs-list mailing list Fedora-fonts-bugs-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-fonts-bugs-list

It does not autoset the closest one itself (this is going to annoy a lot of users) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Fedora-fonts-bugs-list mailing list Fedora-fonts-bugs-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-fonts-bugs-list

It's okay to leave it on for rawhide, but we should have a plan to revert if the upstream fixes can't be in place in time. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Fedora-fonts-bugs-list mailing list Fedora-fonts-bugs-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-fonts-bugs-list
