Changelog for
ttfautohint-1.8.1-4.7.x86_64.rpm :
* Sat Jan 13 2018 zimaAATTzima.pl- Update to 1.8.1
* Thu Jan 26 2017 zimaAATTzima.pl- Update to 1.6
* Fri Feb 12 2016 zimaAATTzima.pl- Update to 1.5
* Sun Oct 18 2015 cornelisAATTsolcon.nl- Update to 1.4.1:
* Support for Thai and Lao scripts.
* Support for the Arabic script.
* Better support for scripts that contain superscript-like and subscript-like glyphs, e.g., the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA).
* Accents and other `non-base\' glyphs are now hinted without snapping to blue zones.
* A new control instruction syntax form was added to adjust the mapping between glyphs and styles. Right now, its usage is quite limited; a forthcoming version will give much more flexibility.
* The `touch` keyword in a control instructions file was buggy: If used for a point\\ `P` at a ppem value\\ `s`, it sometimes led to unwanted movements of\\ `P` for ppem values unequal to\\ `s`, thus causing outline distortions.
* Sun Apr 05 2015 cornelisAATTsolcon.nl- Update to 1.3:
* Keywords in control instruction files can be more verbose to increase readability. You can now use `left`, `right`, `nodir`, `point`, `touch`, `xshift`, and `yshift` for `l`, `r`, `n`, `p`, `t, `x`, and `y`, respectively.
* A new control instruction keyword `touch` was added to apply delta instructions before the final IUP bytecode commands, also `touching\' the affected points (to use the TrueType instructions terminology). Such deltas
*do
* work even with ClearType if applied to the non-ClearType direction.
* Support for the Telugu script.
* The amount of information about ttfautohint and its parameters that gets added to the `name` table by default has been reduced. A new option `--detailed-info` restores the previous behaviour.
* ttfautohintGUI crashed if not used with a control instruction file.
* ttfautohintGUI now correctly switches to a horizontal two-column layout if the standard one-column layout would exceed the screen height.
* A new option `--family-suffix` makes it possible to append a suffix to a font\'s family name in the `name` table. This can be useful during the development process: It helps the operating system to simultaneously display several instances of a font that are processed with different ttfautohint parameters.
* The new library option `info-post-callback` helps in processing data from the `name` table.
* Wed Oct 15 2014 cornelisAATTsolcon.nl- Update to 1.2:
* It is now possible to control the hinting process at a very low level using a \'control instructions\' file. Right now, two modes are supported: - Adding segments and changing segment directions. - Applying delta exceptions. Note that this doesn\'t really work in ClearType. Please see the documentation for a description and a small tutorial. In the TTY front-end, use option `--control-file` to load such a file.
* Support for input file watching in ttfautohintGUI: If the \'Watch Input File\' box is checked, the program automatically regenerates the output file as soon as the input font or control instructions file gets modified. The idea is to dock ttfautohintGUI to your favourite font and text editor instead of adding a cheap text editor to ttfautohintGUI itself.
* With the new option `--fallback-stem-width` it is now possible to set a default stem width for all scripts that lack proper standard characters in the font.
* Add alias `--adjust-subglyphs` for option `--pre-hinting` to better describe its functionality. The short form `-p` stays unchanged.
* New option `--ttfa-table` to add an SFNT table `TTFA` to the output font, containing an ASCII dump of all used ttfautohint parameters (including control instructions). Right now, this is mainly for archiving purposes. Forthcoming versions of ttfautohint will be able to re-use this data if a font gets re-processed.
* A harmless buglet was fixed that made the `glyf` table too large by one byte under some circumstances.
* A bug fix taken from FreeType, correcting a crash for unusual outlines.
* Better handling of TTC files.
* New library options `error-callback` and `error-callback-data` for improved diagnostics. [No change in the front-ends except better error messages.]
* Many other, minor fixes and improvements.
* Tue Jun 24 2014 cornelisAATTsolcon.nl- Update to 1.1: see included Changelog for changes- Added harfbuzz-devel to BuildRequires
* Sat Dec 07 2013 cornelisAATTsolcon.nl- Update to 0.96:
* Option `--components\' has been replaced with `--composites\'
* Older versions of Monotype\'s `iType\' bytecode interpreter have a serious bug: The DIV instruction rounds the result, while the correct operation is truncation. This caused `exploding characters\' with fonts hinted by ttfautohint. Since many printers contain this rasterizer without any possibility to update to a non-buggy version, ttfautohint now contains work-arounds to circumvent the problem.
* Better support for glyphs where some points have almost the same position (for example glyph `Oslash\' in font `Roboto-Thin\').
* Better support for glyphs which use explicit `on\' points around round extrema.-Update to 0.97:
* Improved script support. Besides Cyrillic and Greek, which are now handled separately from Latin, ttfautohint can handle Hebrew.
* Option `-f\' now takes a parameter to specify the fallback script. The corresponding long option name has been renamed from `--latin-fallback\' to `--fallback-script\'.
* Work around a bug in display environments that use FreeType 2.5.0 and earlier for rendering: Sometimes, the `strong\' stem width routine was used for DW ClearType (this is, subpixel hinting in FreeType is enabled) even if `smooth\' was selected while generating the font with ttfautohint.
* Sun Sep 29 2013 cornelisAATTsolcon.nl- Simplified spec (although as a consequence there is man page anymore, fix later )
* Mon Mar 11 2013 cornelisAATTsolcon.nl- Update to version 0.95
* Mon Dec 24 2012 cornelisAATTsolcon.nl- Update to version 0.94- Build with qt4
* Mon Aug 27 2012 tomsAATTopensuse.org- Added manpage support
* Mon Aug 27 2012 tomsAATTopensuse.org- Fixed typo in build requirements and require keywords; should be freetype2 instead of just freetype
* Sun Aug 26 2012 tomsAATTopensuse.org- Updated to version 0.92 see http://repo.or.cz/w/ttfautohint.git for details
* Fri Feb 24 2012 tomsAATTopensuse.org- Initial package 0.7
