List,
I am looking at the following problem and hope that FreeType allows me
to implement a solution:
Office documents are created by our customers on Windows using fonts
that are available there. These document shall then be rendered by our
software on other platforms (such as Linux). When
Hi,
Excuse me, please let me know more detail about your question.
You expect that the FreeType2 provides a special API to make
a font instance with per-glyph interpolation parameters, even
if no other font rasterizer can have such?
I remember ISO/IEC 14496-28 (Composite Font Representation)

Yes, it would be similar to what Adobe Reader does when it renders a PDF

Because the number of master faces in MM font is less than 16, it is
impossible to make a MM font with 26 x 2 axis.
This would not work anyway for my case because all design axes would
then be applied simultaneously. And this is not what I want. It is
Hi Martin,
There are two special MM fonts that Adobe Acrobat uses for this purpose,
AdobeSansMM and AdobeSerifMM. The Adobe rasterizer for Multiple Master takes an
extra parameter, the weight vector, for rendering a glyph. This specifies the
weighting to be applied to each master design in
I'll arrange the files accordingly in the git repository, then
asking you again for testing.
I've done this right now.

Thank you for the additional background information. As I know a bit
about font creation, I do agree that there is hard work in creating a
Multiple Master typeface with a reasonably large character set and a
wide range of scalability.
I'd also rather use embedded fonts, but the source
Sorry, Martin. The CFF rasterizer that we contributed to FreeType has never had
multiple master support. And although there was some early work to build CFF MM
fonts, this capability was removed from the CFF spec.

You are right of
You need the metrics of the original fonts as well as basic style info
(serif/sans, mono/variable, weight, et cetera) and to create a mapping
from each glyph of each original face to a substitute glyph -- the map
can be a global, pre-computed const table.
When creating that map, you may find that
Sorry for the late response.
Attached is a CMakeLists.txt generated for freetype-2.5.0.1. With
this one can configure unixish and Windows with the one script.
This is gladly donated to the freetype project.
Thanks!
Is it acceptable to add it to the repo somehow?
Well, my main problem
The reason given for not using the 'size' feature is the lack of
implementation and the fact that 'size' is a GPOS feature, not the
best place for this.

Hello Hin-Tak!
Just wish to point out that a copy of the whole of freetype is
bundled with ghostscript, and ghostscript has been routinely built
for win64 for quite a few years. For as long as it was, the
preferred compiler for building ghostscript for windows has always
been MS VC.
