[ft] bold problem with some fonts
Hi list, Now I have a question about problem in bold rendering with some font, for example VLGothic font (http://dicey.org/vlgothic/). See example in http://d.ma-aya.to/images/20060925_0.png . 1st and 3rd line is non-bold font, 2nd and 4th are bold. 0 font in 2nd line should be bold one, but it shapes thin, though. This problem shows with freetype 2.2.1-5 in Debian unstable. But there is no problem with freetype 2.1.7-6 (in Debian stable) and vlgothic upstream author also says vlgothic font with freetype 2.1 in Vine Linux (http://vinelinux.org) has no such problem. Is problem in that font or freetype? If problem is in font, how do I check and fix it? -- Regards, Hideki Yamanehenrich @ debian.or.jp/samba.gr.jp/iijmio-mail.jp http://packages.qa.debian.org/t/ttf-vlgothic.html http://www.mithril-linux.org/~henrich/ ___ Freetype mailing list Freetype@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype

This is a bug in the FreeType engine -- it can also be seen with the current CVS. Werner ___ Freetype mailing list Freetype@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype
