Is Width and height of the glyph is correct if i do the following?? No. You can't get the exact width and height of a glyph at a specific DPI using the bounding box (to be more precise, if the DPI is smaller than the font's `units per em' value, used by the font designer to create the glyph).

So,You mean irrespective of what ever we do...the BBox is Always negative. For this glyph, yes. In your previous reply you said, the only way to get the exact metrics is to render _all_ glyphs. Sorry for being ambiguous. It either means: . To get the smallest global bounding box of a

[ft-devel] Patented bytecode interpretter and fallback to autohinter

2010-02-23 Thread Behdad Esfahbod
Hi, In Fedora rawhide I enabled the patented bytecode interpretter a while ago since the patents expired. I've received reports since that this has resulted in degraded rendering of some fonts. Apparently, from what I hear, with Medium hinting, the autohinter is not used even if the font

Excuse me ,I don't understand why we need tell the slashdot.org people? Another reason for my first reaction (this is, to contact slashdot) is the impudence of this negative advertisement. Up to now I've never seen such a thing, and it is probably worth to be seen by many people.
