1539 <p>Thanks to Adobe, which contributed a new hinting (and parsing) engine, an application can select between ‘freetype’ and ‘adobe’ if compiled with <code>CFF_CONFIG_OPTION_OLD_ENGINE</code>. If this configuration macro isn't defined, ‘hinting-engine’ does nothing.</p>
1540 <p>The same holds for the Type 1 and CID modules if compiled with <code>T1_CONFIG_OPTION_OLD_ENGINE</code>.</p>
1541 <p>For the ‘cff’ module, the default engine is ‘adobe’. For both the ‘type1’ and ‘t1cid’ modules, the default engine is ‘adobe’, too.</p>

1545 <p>This property can be set via the <code>FREETYPE_PROPERTIES</code> environment variable (using values ‘adobe’ or ‘freetype’).</p>
1548 <p>The following example code demonstrates how to select Adobe's hinting engine for the ‘cff’ module (omitting the error handling).
1549 <div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code> FT_Library library;
1550 FT_UInt hinting_engine = FT_HINTING_ADOBE;
1553 FT_Init_FreeType( &library );
1555 FT_Property_Set( library, "cff",

1564 <h2 id="no-stem-darkening">no-stem-darkening<a class="headerlink" href="#no-stem-darkening" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h2>
1565 <p>All glyphs that pass through the auto-hinter will be emboldened unless this property is set to TRUE. The same is true for the CFF, Type 1, and CID font modules if the ‘Adobe’ engine is selected (which is the default).</p>
1566 <p>Stem darkening emboldens glyphs at smaller sizes to make them more readable on common low-DPI screens when using linear alpha blending and gamma correction, see <code><a href="ft2-glyph_retrieval.html#ft_render_glyph">FT_Render_Glyph</a></code>. When not using linear alpha blending and gamma correction, glyphs will appear heavy and fuzzy!</p>
1567 <p>Gamma correction essentially lightens fonts since shades of grey are shifted to higher pixel values (= higher brightness) to match the original intention to the reality of our screens. The side-effect is that glyphs ‘thin out’. Mac OS X and Adobe's proprietary font rendering library implement a counter-measure: stem darkening at smaller sizes where shades of gray dominate. By emboldening a glyph slightly in relation to its pixel size, individual pixels get higher coverage of filled-in outlines and are therefore ‘blacker’. This counteracts the ‘thinning out’ of glyphs, making text remain readable at smaller sizes.</p>
1568 <p>For the auto-hinter, stem-darkening is experimental currently and thus switched off by default (that is, <code>no-stem-darkening</code> is set to TRUE by default). Total consistency with the CFF driver is not achieved right now because the emboldening method differs and glyphs must be scaled down on the Y-axis to keep outline points inside their precomputed blue zones. The smaller the size (especially 9ppem and down), the higher the loss of emboldening versus the CFF driver.</p>
1569 <p>Note that stem darkening is never applied if <code><a href="ft2-glyph_retrieval.html#ft_load_xxx">FT_LOAD_NO_SCALE</a></code> is set.</p>
1572 <p>This property can be used with <code><a href="ft2-module_management.html#ft_property_get">FT_Property_Get</a></code> also.</p>
1573 <p>This property can be set via the <code>FREETYPE_PROPERTIES</code> environment variable (using values 1 and 0 for ‘on’ and ‘off’, respectively). It can also be set per face using <code><a href="ft2-face_creation.html#ft_face_properties">FT_Face_Properties</a></code> with <code><a href="ft2-parameter_tags.html#ft_param_tag_stem_darkening">FT_PARAM_TAG_STEM_DARKENING</a></code>.</p>

1592 <p>By default, the Adobe hinting engine, as used by the CFF, Type 1, and CID font drivers, darkens stems as follows (if the <code>no-stem-darkening</code> property isn't set):
1593 <div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code> stem width <= 0.5px: darkening amount = 0.4px
1594 stem width = 1px: darkening amount = 0.275px

1596 stem width >= 2.333px: darkening amount = 0px
1597 </code></pre></div></p>
1598 <p>and piecewise linear in-between. At configuration time, these four control points can be set with the macro <code>CFF_CONFIG_OPTION_DARKENING_PARAMETERS</code>; the CFF, Type 1, and CID drivers share these values. At runtime, the control points can be changed using the <code>darkening-parameters</code> property (see the example below that demonstrates this for the Type 1 driver).</p>
1599 <p>The x values give the stem width, and the y values the darkening amount. The unit is 1000<sup>th</sup> of pixels. All coordinate values must be positive; the x values must be monotonically increasing; the y values must be monotonically decreasing and smaller than or equal to 500 (corresponding to half a pixel); the slope of each linear piece must be shallower than -1 (e.g., -.4).</p>
1600 <p>The auto-hinter provides this property, too, as an experimental feature. See <code><a href="ft2-properties.html#no-stem-darkening">no-stem-darkening</a></code> for more.</p>
1603 <p>This property can be used with <code><a href="ft2-module_management.html#ft_property_get">FT_Property_Get</a></code> also.</p>
1604 <p>This property can be set via the <code>FREETYPE_PROPERTIES</code> environment variable, using eight comma-separated integers without spaces. Here the above example, using <code>\</code> to break the line for readability.

1629 <p>By default, the seed value for the CFF ‘random’ operator and the similar ‘0 28 callothersubr pop’ command for the Type 1 and CID drivers is set to a random value. However, mainly for debugging purposes, it is often necessary to use a known value as a seed so that the pseudo-random number sequences generated by ‘random’ are repeatable.</p>
1630 <p>The <code>random-seed</code> property does that. Its argument is a signed 32bit integer; if the value is zero or negative, the seed given by the <code>intitialRandomSeed</code> private DICT operator in a CFF file gets used (or a default value if there is no such operator). If the value is positive, use it instead of <code>initialRandomSeed</code>, which is consequently ignored.</p>
1633 <p>This property can be set via the <code>FREETYPE_PROPERTIES</code> environment variable.

1641 <p>If <code>PCF_CONFIG_OPTION_LONG_FAMILY_NAMES</code> is active while compiling FreeType, the PCF driver constructs long family names.</p>
1642 <p>There are many PCF fonts just called ‘Fixed’ which look completely different, and which have nothing to do with each other. When selecting ‘Fixed’ in KDE or Gnome one gets results that appear rather random, the style changes often if one changes the size and one cannot select some fonts at all. The improve this situation, the PCF module prepends the foundry name (plus a space) to the family name. It also checks whether there are ‘wide’ characters; all put together, family names like ‘Sony Fixed’ or ‘Misc Fixed Wide’ are constructed.</p>
1643 <p>If <code>no-long-family-names</code> is set, this feature gets switched off.</p>
1646 <p>This property can be used with <code><a href="ft2-module_management.html#ft_property_get">FT_Property_Get</a></code> also.</p>

1672 <p>The numeric value in the constant names represents the version number as returned by the ‘GETINFO’ bytecode instruction.</p>
1674 <table class="fields">

1681 <tr><td class="val" id="tt_interpreter_version_40">TT_INTERPRETER_VERSION_40</td><td class="desc">
1682 <p>Version 40 corresponds to MS rasterizer v.2.1; it is roughly equivalent to the hinting provided by DirectWrite ClearType (as can be found, for example, in Microsoft's Edge Browser on Windows 10). It is used in FreeType to select the ‘minimal’ subpixel hinting code, a stripped-down and higher performance version of the ‘Infinality’ code.</p>
1688 <p>This property controls the behaviour of the bytecode interpreter and thus how outlines get hinted. It does <strong>not</strong> control how glyph get rasterized! In particular, it does not control subpixel color filtering.</p>
1689 <p>If FreeType has not been compiled with the configuration option <code>TT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_HINTING</code>, selecting version 38 or 40 causes an <code>FT_Err_Unimplemented_Feature</code> error.</p>
1690 <p>Depending on the graphics framework, Microsoft uses different bytecode and rendering engines. As a consequence, the version numbers returned by a call to the ‘GETINFO’ bytecode instruction are more convoluted than desired.</p>
1691 <p>Here are two tables that try to shed some light on the possible values for the MS rasterizer engine, together with the additional features introduced by it.
1692 <div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code> GETINFO framework version feature

1694 3 GDI (Win 3.1), v1.0 16-bit, first version
1696 33 GDI (Win NT 3.1), v1.5 32-bit
1698 34 GDI (Win 95) v1.6 font smoothing,
1700 35 GDI (Win 98/2000) v1.7 (UN)SCALED_COMPONENT_OFFSET

1711 40 GDI+ (after Win 7), v2.1 Y-direction ClearType flag
1712 DWrite (Win 8) in GETINFO opcode,
1714 </code></pre></div></p>
1715 <p>The ‘version’ field gives a rough orientation only, since some applications provided certain features much earlier (as an example, Microsoft Reader used subpixel and Y-direction ClearType already in Windows 2000). Similarly, updates to a given framework might include improved hinting support.
1716 <div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code> version sampling rendering comment
1718 --------------------------------------------------------------
1719 v1.0 normal normal B/W B/W bi-level
1720 v1.6 high high gray gray grayscale
1721 v1.8 high normal color-filter B/W (GDI) ClearType
1722 v1.9 high high color-filter gray Color ClearType
1723 v2.1 high normal gray B/W Gray ClearType
1724 v2.1 high high gray gray Gray ClearType
1725 </code></pre></div></p>
1726 <p>Color and Gray ClearType are the two available variants of ‘Y-direction ClearType’, meaning grayscale rasterization along the Y-direction; the name used in the TrueType specification for this feature is ‘symmetric smoothing’. ‘Classic ClearType’ is the original algorithm used before introducing a modified version in Win XP. Another name for v1.6's grayscale rendering is ‘font smoothing’, and ‘Color ClearType’ is sometimes also called ‘DWrite ClearType’. To differentiate between today's Color ClearType and the earlier ClearType variant with B/W rendering along the vertical axis, the latter is sometimes called ‘GDI ClearType’.</p>
1727 <p>‘Normal’ and ‘high’ sampling describe the (virtual) resolution to access the rasterized outline after the hinting process. ‘Normal’ means 1 sample per grid line (i.e., B/W). In the current Microsoft implementation, ‘high’ means an extra virtual resolution of 16x16 (or 16x1) grid lines per pixel for bytecode instructions like ‘MIRP’. After hinting, these 16 grid lines are mapped to 6x5 (or 6x1) grid lines for color filtering if Color ClearType is activated.</p>
1728 <p>Note that ‘Gray ClearType’ is essentially the same as v1.6's grayscale rendering. However, the GETINFO instruction handles it differently: v1.6 returns bit 12 (hinting for grayscale), while v2.1 returns bits 13 (hinting for ClearType), 18 (symmetrical smoothing), and 19 (Gray ClearType). Also, this mode respects bits 2 and 3 for the version 1 gasp table exclusively (like Color ClearType), while v1.6 only respects the values of version 0 (bits 0 and 1).</p>
1729 <p>Keep in mind that the features of the above interpreter versions might not map exactly to FreeType features or behavior because it is a fundamentally different library with different internals.</p>
1732 <h2 id="interpreter-version">interpreter-version<a class="headerlink" href="#interpreter-version" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h2>
1733 <p>Currently, three versions are available, two representing the bytecode interpreter with subpixel hinting support (old ‘Infinality’ code and new stripped-down and higher performance ‘minimal’ code) and one without, respectively. The default is subpixel support if <code>TT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_HINTING</code> is defined, and no subpixel support otherwise (since it isn't available then).</p>
1734 <p>If subpixel hinting is on, many TrueType bytecode instructions behave differently compared to B/W or grayscale rendering (except if ‘native ClearType’ is selected by the font). Microsoft's main idea is to render at a much increased horizontal resolution, then sampling down the created output to subpixel precision. However, many older fonts are not suited to this and must be specially taken care of by applying (hardcoded) tweaks in Microsoft's interpreter.</p>
1735 <p>Details on subpixel hinting and some of the necessary tweaks can be found in Greg Hitchcock's whitepaper at ‘<a href="https://www.microsoft.com/typography/cleartype/truetypecleartype.aspx">https://www.microsoft.com/typography/cleartype/truetypecleartype.aspx</a>’. Note that FreeType currently doesn't really ‘subpixel hint’ (6x1, 6x2, or 6x5 supersampling) like discussed in the paper. Depending on the chosen interpreter, it simply ignores instructions on vertical stems to arrive at very similar results.</p>
1738 <p>This property can be used with <code><a href="ft2-module_management.html#ft_property_get">FT_Property_Get</a></code> also.</p>
1739 <p>This property can be set via the <code>FREETYPE_PROPERTIES</code> environment variable (using values ‘35’, ‘38’, or ‘40’).</p>
1742 <p>The following example code demonstrates how to deactivate subpixel hinting (omitting the error handling).
1743 <div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code> FT_Library library;

1782 <h2 id="glyph-to-script-map">glyph-to-script-map<a class="headerlink" href="#glyph-to-script-map" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h2>
1783 <p><strong>Experimental only</strong></p>
1784 <p>The auto-hinter provides various script modules to hint glyphs. Examples of supported scripts are Latin or CJK. Before a glyph is auto-hinted, the Unicode character map of the font gets examined, and the script is then determined based on Unicode character ranges, see below.</p>
1785 <p>OpenType fonts, however, often provide much more glyphs than character codes (small caps, superscripts, ligatures, swashes, etc.), to be controlled by so-called ‘features’. Handling OpenType features can be quite complicated and thus needs a separate library on top of FreeType.</p>
1786 <p>The mapping between glyph indices and scripts (in the auto-hinter sense, see the <code><a href="ft2-properties.html#ft_autohinter_script_xxx">FT_AUTOHINTER_SCRIPT_XXX</a></code> values) is stored as an array with <code>num_glyphs</code> elements, as found in the font's <code><a href="ft2-face_creation.html#ft_face">FT_Face</a></code> structure. The <code>glyph-to-script-map</code> property returns a pointer to this array, which can be modified as needed. Note that the modification should happen before the first glyph gets processed by the auto-hinter so that the global analysis of the font shapes actually uses the modified mapping.</p>
1789 <p>The following example code demonstrates how to access it (omitting the error handling).

2020 <p><strong>Obsolete</strong></p>
2021 <p>This property was always experimental and probably never worked correctly. It was entirely removed from the FreeType 2 sources. This entry is only here for historical reference.</p>
2022 <p>Warping only worked in ‘normal’ auto-hinting mode replacing it. The idea of the code was to slightly scale and shift a glyph along the non-hinted dimension (which is usually the horizontal axis) so that as much of its segments were aligned (more or less) to the grid. To find out a glyph's optimal scaling and shifting value, various parameter combinations were tried and scored.</p>
