Re: [ft-devel] freetype.com
I missed Behdad's solution. Not sure if freetype-devel got CCed on his response.

However, my English is probably not `professional' enough to write such a letter. Behdad proposed a sensible solution...

It's straightforward to add such a function, and FontConfig might use it during the creation of the cache. That would be useful, yes. What kind of interface would you like to have? I can imagine that you want to check the presence of a font's hinting instructions for a given range of input codes (not that I would really like this, but...) Not really. A yes/partial/no answer should be enough. Do you think this is something we can get in soon? If yes, I can get the fontconfig parts in. Probably need some cairo work also. I'll probably revert it in Fedora since getting all the pieces working may take a bit longer.

A yes/partial/no answer should be enough. why do you need a `partial' if there is no possibility to find out which ranges are hinter or unhinted? Do you think this is something we can get in soon? Probably within a few days, after we've settled on the right API. Werner ___ Freetype-devel mailing list Freetype-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-devel
[ft-devel] Reg:True Type Font display
Hi, We have ported Free Type Font Library (freetype-2.3.11) on fixed point DSP processor (BF533, 600 MHz) in VDSP Platform. Basic functionality is working fine. We have got output display in LCD monitor through HDMI connector. But the FT_Load_Char() function is taking lot of time to execute (around 3 ms per character). Could you please provide your inputs for optimizing the function FT_Load_Char()? Thanks and Regards, Poornima. ___ Freetype-devel mailing list Freetype-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-devel
