ttfautohint 1.4.1
-----------------

by Werner Lemberg <wl@gnu.org>


This project provides a library that 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 that 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.


Version 1.5 (2016-Jan-24)
-------------------------

* Support for Khmer, Myanmar, and Bengali scripts.

* Improved Devanagari hinting.

* ttfautohintGUI can now be compiled with Qt5.

* Bug fix: Too many delta control instructions for a single glyph caused
  a bytecode stack overflow, making the MS rasterizer ignore all hinting
  instructions for this glyph.

* Bug fix: Don't create multiple `TTFA` tables in font.

* Bug fix: Under certain circumstances, glyph indices used in Indic features
  were incorrectly assigned to the default script.
