Release of FreeType 2.14.0 has been presented, a modular font engine providing a unified API for standardizing the handling and output of font data in various vector and raster formats. The project code is written in C and is distributed under the BSD-like FreeType license.
Bland ändringarna:
- The TrueType instruction interpreter has been optimized, loading glyphs 15% faster.
- Processing of variable fonts has been accelerated.
- On modern 64-bit platforms, the loading of TrueType and CFF glyphs has been accelerated by 5-10%.
- In the BDF driver, the font loading time has been reduced by 75%.
- The performance of processing the kerning tables 'GPOS' has increased by 3.5 times.
- In the auto-hinter, the rendering of the tilde accent glyphs and the separation of diacritical and base glyphs has been improved for small symbol sizes.
- A configuration macro 'FT_CONFIG_OPTION_USE_HARFBUZZ_DYNAMIC' has been added for the dynamic loading of the HarfBuzz glyph shaping library.
- In fully rasterized TrueType fonts, the FT_LOAD_NO_BITMAP flag is now ignored, and bitmap loading is performed instead of outputting an error.
