Re: test font with both SVG and COLR table

Apologies for a bit off-topic: BTW, given that some folks at Apple don’t seem to be great fans of COLRv1, while Google isn’t a great fan of SVG, chances are that we’ll see the phasing out of "sbix" and "CBDT", but both COLRv1 and SVG will stick around — also because SVG allows bitmaps. Check out:

Re: Get the original, native name of a TTF?

In OpenType, you could say that the U.S.English name is the "original" name while the Chinese name would be a localized name Use this: https://www.freetype.org/freetype2/docs/reference/ft2-sfnt_names.html with the PID 3 EID 1 and LID appropriate for Chinese, see

Re: Truetype scaled font issue

The first image looks like it's coming from either an embedded bitmap or from native TrueType hinting. The second looks like it's rasterized from the outline. Either way, it's not a matter of FreeType itself but of how it's used. FreeType CAN render native TrueType hinting and/or embedded bitmaps

Re: [ft-devel] An analysis of Librsvg

SVG Native Viewer of course offers another kind of link: The http://www.w3.org/TR/svg-native spec is authored by Adobe’s Sairus Patel and Apple’s Myles Maxfield. Before SVG was put into the OpenType spec, the SVG Glyphs spec was co-developed by Sairus https://www.w3.org/2013/10/SVG_in_OpenType/

Re: [ft-devel] An analysis of Librsvg

I've mentioned this discussion to the resvg dev, and he seems pretty interested: https://github.com/RazrFalcon/resvg/issues/135 I can imagine that in case of resvg, the dev could be willing to implement some profiles (such as OT-SVG and SVG Native) which, when used, could filter unwanted content

Re: [ft-devel] The criterion for comparing SVG Rendering libraries

For completeness, I’d like to add that the license should also be a criterion. I think librsvg is GPL+LGPL, resvg is MPL, and the Adobe SVG Native viewer is Apache 2. It’s worth realizing that SVG actually originated in the late 1990s with strong participation from Adobe, and the Adobe SVG Viewer

Re: [ft] FT layout

HarfBuzz is the modern replacement for FTLayout. It integrates with external libraries for Unicode preprocessing and then performs internationalized line layout for one font. If you need linebreaking and you need to mix fonts, you need to go one level higher. Overall, text layout works like this:

I once somehow had managed to build a version of ft2demos tools which worked with the OS X X11 (XQuartz) server. But now, with the standard "autogen.sh then make" of current git FreeType plus the "make" of current git ft2demos, the tools build but when trying to use them, I get: ftmulti 72
