Re: [ft-devel] Relevance of new API FT_Get_Module_Flags ?

Or does that not port to other systems? ___ Freetype-devel mailing list Freetype-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-devel
Re: [ft-devel] Outline dumper for windows
This small program can dump the outlines, hinted or unhinted, of glyphs under windows. It is helpful for identifying whether certain rendering differences result from the bytecode interpreter or from the monochrone raster. Very good that you've written that! I've asked for such a program years ago. BTW, perhaps you find a better name for this smal program... For example, we can dump the glyph `8' from tahoma at 11ppem. [...] these 3 points are 1/64 pixel higher under windows. We then know that the rendering difference should result from the bytecode interpreter. (the IP just before the IUPs is suspicious. It seems windows is doing something undocumented.) Probably, I don't know Werner knew this. I don't know how he knew though :-) Using FontForge to single-step through the bytecode instructions! This makes great fun (and drives George crazy because of my many bug reports and feature suggestions).
