CHANGES BETWEEN 2.4.5 and 2.4.6
I. IMPORTANT BUG FIXES
- For TrueType based fonts, the ascender and descender values were
incorrect sometimes (off by a pixel if the ppem value was not a
multiple of 5). Depending on the use you might now experience
a different layout; the change should result in better, more
consistent line spacing.
- Fix CVE-2011-0226 which causes a vulnerability while handling
Type 1 fonts.
- BDF fonts containing glyphs with negative values for ENCODING
were incorrectly rejected. This bug has been introduced in
FreeType version 2.2.0.
- David Bevan contributed a major revision of the FreeType stroker
code:
. The behaviour of FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_BEVEL has been corrected.
. A new line join style, FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_MITER_FIXED, has
been introduced to support PostScript and PDF miter joins.
. FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_MITER_VARIABLE has been introduced as an
alias for FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_MITER.
. Various stroking glitches has been fixed.
II. MISCELLANEOUS
- SFNT bitmap fonts which contain an outline glyph for `.notdef'
only no longer set the FT_FACE_FLAG_SCALABLE flag.
