Yes, I am working on it. If you could just give me a lead like where should
I look upon and like possible sources of errors, it will be great help.

Re: [ft-devel] Theme designs for the FreeType Website

Is there a particular reason why the left navigation panel is
horizontally so small?  On the attached image you can see, for
example,

  The v40
  TrueType
  interpreter
  mode

i.e., four lines for a single item...

Maybe it helps to make the panel wider and/or reduce the font size a
bit.

This looks great, thanks!

Some suggestions.

* What do you think about allowing line breaks after (or alternatively
  before) `_' in verbatim text.  Example: `CFF_CONFIG_OPTION_OLD_
  ENGINE'.

* It would be great if you could harmonize the appearance of the API
  reference with the remaining website.  As a starter, it could use the
  same serif font.  I can also imagine to slightly adapt the website
  to the appearance of the API reference in case this is simpler or
  more efficient.

Good.  Does `ftview' amd friends already work?  I've still not found
time to have a closer look at the issue, sorry (still on vacation more
or less).  Please try to debug it by yourself also – I can only
assist, since it's actually your job to find the bug...

Good, too :-)  Still waiting for an image from `ftview'...

> Please let me know if there are any instructions for me :-)

I suggest that you get rid of `UINT' and friends, replacing it with
`FT_UInt' and similar FreeType entities.  This should (a) make the
source code appearance more uniform, and (b) it should make debugging
easier since you have to remember less typedefs.

Basically, there is no difference.  The bug might be either in
FreeType or in your code, unveiled by a change in FreeType.  I can't
tell.

The demo programs can be downloaded at

  https://www.freetype.org/download.html

There are also links to clone both the `freetype2' and
`freetype2-demos' git repositories.

Have a look at 

  https://www.freetype.org/freetype2/docs/tutorial/example1.c

for a very simple example that dumps a string of glyphs to stdout.  If
you can't reproduce your problem with the demo programs like `ftview'
or `ftdiff', adapt this example code to your commands until it
triggers the problem.

[ft-devel] GSoC status update.

2018-07-13 Thread Parth Wazurkar
Hi all,
Here are some quick updates,

* GF Driver: I have added support for parsing the
`xxx' and `yyy' commands. Now the gf driver supports
all the `gf' font files! I am working on the possibilities
of parsing information from these commands.

* PK Driver: The `pk' driver is almost similar to the `gf'
driver. I have added all the code for the pk driver in the
branch `parthw-pk-vf'. The driver is running properly and
allocating bitmap values like the gf driver!

* TFM Driver: Some changes are remaining and it will be
working soon!

* VF Driver: I have started working on the code, and
will get it running soon!

Please let me know if there are any instructions for me :-)

Thank you

Hi Werner,

This issue is seen with embedded devices cortex based and not with desktop.
Do we need to think any special cases w.r.t embedded devices? Please let me
know.

It's not freely available font. Currently, we don't have simple code ready.
Where can I take demo programs?. I will try executing it and update.

Thanks.

Regards,
Madan

OK, I need more details to analyze this further.  What font?  In case
it's not a freely available font, please send it to me privately.
What FreeType API calls?  Can you provide a simple program that
reproduces the issue?  Can you reproduce the issue with one of the
FreeType demo programs?
