ttfautohint 1.1
---------------

by Werner Lemberg <wl@gnu.org>


This project provides a library which takes a TrueType font as the input,
removes its bytecode instructions (if any), and returns a new font where all
glyphs are bytecode hinted using the information given by FreeType's
auto-hinting module.  The idea is to provide the excellent quality of the
auto-hinter on platforms which don't use FreeType.

The library has a single API function, `TTF_autohint'; see
`lib/ttfautohint.h' for a detailed description.  Note that the library
itself won't get installed currently.

A command-line interface to the library is the `ttfautohint' program; after
compilation and installation, say

  ttfautohint --help

for usage information, or say

  man ttfautohint

to read its manual page.

A GUI to the library is `ttfautohintGUI'; it uses the Qt4 framework.  The
compilation of this application can be disabled with the `--without-qt'
option of the `configure' script.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

New in 1.1:

* Support for the Devanagari script.

* Bug fixes in the computation of strong stem widths.  GDI hinting now gives
  much more consistent results.

* Better recognition of script coverage: ttfautohint now properly scans
  composite glyphs to cover components also.

* Improved glyph shape analysis: Non-flat local extrema are now recognized
  more reliably, and stem detection works better.
