Re: [ft-devel] TR: Error Rendering with a resolution?

[PILLET Céline]

Werner,
I will update my versions of FreeType, but there is something that I don't 
understand.
If I use a resolution of 180 DPI with HINT FONT Mode, the result is OK.
if I use a resolution of 180 DPI the with HINT AUTO Mode, the result is OK too.
if I use a resolution of 360 DPI the with HINT AUTO Mode, the result is OK too.
And  If I use a resolution of 360 DPI with HINT FONT Mode, the result is not 
OK. So I don't think this is normal.


Thanks a lot,
Celine.

Before going into more details, please check whether FreeType is capable at all 
what you want to achieve.  In other words, I ask you to compile the current git 
repositories (`freetype2' and
`freetype2-demos') to get up-to-date versions of the demo programs.
With ftview, you can easily adjust (almost) all rendering and hinting 
parameters.

There are good chances that the PostScript hinter doesn't work well -- this is 
the weakest part of FreeType currently and not in optimal shape.

In case you don't use git, go to the latest commits and download snapshots.
