Hello,
I have just committed a fix to the auto-hinter that solves one
of its most annoying problem: some fonts couldn't be properly
hinted because they didn't follow the "filling direction"
convention of their respective format.
Instead of relying of the what the font driver provides, the
auto-hinter now automatically re-computes the direction for
each glyph it loads.
This solves the hinting problem encountered with many fonts
that are apparently converted from TrueType to Type 1 (and
respectively the other way), as well as many of the CJK fonts
I have there (including the Arphic ones)..
I thought this would be sufficiently important to announce
it on the mailing list :-)
I'm also working on the "bad circles" in Bitstream Charter, but
I suspect I won't be able to fix this until I come back from my
holidays..
Also, some composites are incredibly spaced in some cases.
I suspect a font driver bug, rather than a auto-hinter one
though..
Thanks,
- David
