73 * Controlling the CFF driver module.
76 * While FreeType's CFF driver doesn't expose API functions by itself, it
77 * is possible to control its behaviour with @FT_Property_Set and
80 * The CFF driver's module name is 'cff'.
82 * Available properties are @hinting-engine, @no-stem-darkening,
83 * @darkening-parameters, and @random-seed, as documented in the
84 * @properties section.
87 * **Hinting and anti-aliasing principles of the new engine**
89 * The rasterizer is positioning horizontal features (e.g., ascender
90 * height & x-height, or crossbars) on the pixel grid and minimizing the
91 * amount of anti-aliasing applied to them, while placing vertical
92 * features (vertical stems) on the pixel grid without hinting, thus
93 * representing the stem position and weight accurately. Sometimes the
94 * vertical stems may be only partially black. In this context,
95 * 'anti-aliasing' means that stems are not positioned exactly on pixel
96 * borders, causing a fuzzy appearance.
98 * There are two principles behind this approach.
100 * 1) No hinting in the horizontal direction: Unlike 'superhinted'
101 * TrueType, which changes glyph widths to accommodate regular
102 * inter-glyph spacing, Adobe's approach is 'faithful to the design' in
103 * representing both the glyph width and the inter-glyph spacing designed
104 * for the font. This makes the screen display as close as it can be to
105 * the result one would get with infinite resolution, while preserving
106 * what is considered the key characteristics of each glyph. Note that
107 * the distances between unhinted and grid-fitted positions at small
108 * sizes are comparable to kerning values and thus would be noticeable
109 * (and distracting) while reading if hinting were applied.
111 * One of the reasons to not hint horizontally is anti-aliasing for LCD
112 * screens: The pixel geometry of modern displays supplies three vertical
113 * subpixels as the eye moves horizontally across each visible pixel. On
114 * devices where we can be certain this characteristic is present a
115 * rasterizer can take advantage of the subpixels to add increments of
116 * weight. In Western writing systems this turns out to be the more
117 * critical direction anyway; the weights and spacing of vertical stems
118 * (see above) are central to Armenian, Cyrillic, Greek, and Latin type
119 * designs. Even when the rasterizer uses greyscale anti-aliasing instead
120 * of color (a necessary compromise when one doesn't know the screen
121 * characteristics), the unhinted vertical features preserve the design's
122 * weight and spacing much better than aliased type would.
124 * 2) Alignment in the vertical direction: Weights and spacing along the
125 * y~axis are less critical; what is much more important is the visual
126 * alignment of related features (like cap-height and x-height). The
127 * sense of alignment for these is enhanced by the sharpness of grid-fit
128 * edges, while the cruder vertical resolution (full pixels instead of
129 * 1/3 pixels) is less of a problem.
131 * On the technical side, horizontal alignment zones for ascender,
132 * x-height, and other important height values (traditionally called
133 * 'blue zones') as defined in the font are positioned independently,
134 * each being rounded to the nearest pixel edge, taking care of overshoot
135 * suppression at small sizes, stem darkening, and scaling.
137 * Hstems (that is, hint values defined in the font to help align
138 * horizontal features) that fall within a blue zone are said to be
139 * 'captured' and are aligned to that zone. Uncaptured stems are moved
140 * in one of four ways, top edge up or down, bottom edge up or down.
141 * Unless there are conflicting hstems, the smallest movement is taken to
142 * minimize distortion.

207 * The TrueType driver
210 * Controlling the TrueType driver module.
213 * While FreeType's TrueType driver doesn't expose API functions by
214 * itself, it is possible to control its behaviour with @FT_Property_Set
215 * and @FT_Property_Get.
217 * The TrueType driver's module name is 'truetype'; a single property
218 * @interpreter-version is available, as documented in the @properties
221 * To help understand the differences between interpreter versions, we
222 * introduce a list of definitions, kindly provided by Greg Hitchcock.
224 * _Bi-Level Rendering_
226 * Monochromatic rendering, exclusively used in the early days of
227 * TrueType by both Apple and Microsoft. Microsoft's GDI interface
228 * supported hinting of the right-side bearing point, such that the
229 * advance width could be non-linear. Most often this was done to
230 * achieve some level of glyph symmetry. To enable reasonable
231 * performance (e.g., not having to run hinting on all glyphs just to get
232 * the widths) there was a bit in the head table indicating if the side
233 * bearing was hinted, and additional tables, 'hdmx' and 'LTSH', to cache
234 * hinting widths across multiple sizes and device aspect ratios.
238 * Microsoft's GDI implementation of anti-aliasing. Not traditional
239 * anti-aliasing as the outlines were hinted before the sampling. The
240 * widths matched the bi-level rendering.
242 * _ClearType Rendering_
244 * Technique that uses physical subpixels to improve rendering on LCD
245 * (and other) displays. Because of the higher resolution, many methods
246 * of improving symmetry in glyphs through hinting the right-side bearing
247 * were no longer necessary. This lead to what GDI calls 'natural
248 * widths' ClearType, see
249 * http://rastertragedy.com/RTRCh4.htm#Sec21. Since hinting
250 * has extra resolution, most non-linearity went away, but it is still
251 * possible for hints to change the advance widths in this mode.
253 * _ClearType Compatible Widths_
255 * One of the earliest challenges with ClearType was allowing the
256 * implementation in GDI to be selected without requiring all UI and
257 * documents to reflow. To address this, a compatible method of
258 * rendering ClearType was added where the font hints are executed once
259 * to determine the width in bi-level rendering, and then re-run in
260 * ClearType, with the difference in widths being absorbed in the font
261 * hints for ClearType (mostly in the white space of hints); see
262 * http://rastertragedy.com/RTRCh4.htm#Sec20. Somewhat by
263 * definition, compatible width ClearType allows for non-linear widths,
264 * but only when the bi-level version has non-linear widths.
266 * _ClearType Subpixel Positioning_
268 * One of the nice benefits of ClearType is the ability to more crisply
269 * display fractional widths; unfortunately, the GDI model of integer
270 * bitmaps did not support this. However, the WPF and Direct Write
271 * frameworks do support fractional widths. DWrite calls this 'natural
272 * mode', not to be confused with GDI's 'natural widths'. Subpixel
273 * positioning, in the current implementation of Direct Write,
274 * unfortunately does not support hinted advance widths, see
275 * http://rastertragedy.com/RTRCh4.htm#Sec22. Note that the
276 * TrueType interpreter fully allows the advance width to be adjusted in
277 * this mode, just the DWrite client will ignore those changes.
279 * _ClearType Backward Compatibility_
281 * This is a set of exceptions made in the TrueType interpreter to
282 * minimize hinting techniques that were problematic with the extra
283 * resolution of ClearType; see
284 * http://rastertragedy.com/RTRCh4.htm#Sec1 and
285 * https://www.microsoft.com/typography/cleartype/truetypecleartype.aspx.
286 * This technique is not to be confused with ClearType compatible widths.
287 * ClearType backward compatibility has no direct impact on changing
288 * advance widths, but there might be an indirect impact on disabling
289 * some deltas. This could be worked around in backward compatibility
292 * _Native ClearType Mode_
294 * (Not to be confused with 'natural widths'.) This mode removes all the
295 * exceptions in the TrueType interpreter when running with ClearType.
296 * Any issues on widths would still apply, though.

743 * After hinting, these 16 grid lines are mapped to 6x5 (or 6x1) grid
744 * lines for color filtering if Color ClearType is activated.
746 * Note that 'Gray ClearType' is essentially the same as v1.6's grayscale
747 * rendering. However, the GETINFO instruction handles it differently:
748 * v1.6 returns bit~12 (hinting for grayscale), while v2.1 returns
749 * bits~13 (hinting for ClearType), 18 (symmetrical smoothing), and~19
750 * (Gray ClearType). Also, this mode respects bits 2 and~3 for the
751 * version~1 gasp table exclusively (like Color ClearType), while v1.6
752 * only respects the values of version~0 (bits 0 and~1).
754 * Keep in mind that the features of the above interpreter versions might
755 * not map exactly to FreeType features or behavior because it is a
756 * fundamentally different library with different internals.

767 * interpreter-version
770 * Currently, three versions are available, two representing the bytecode
771 * interpreter with subpixel hinting support (old 'Infinality' code and
772 * new stripped-down and higher performance 'minimal' code) and one
773 * without, respectively. The default is subpixel support if
774 * `TT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_HINTING` is defined, and no subpixel
775 * support otherwise (since it isn't available then).
777 * If subpixel hinting is on, many TrueType bytecode instructions behave
778 * differently compared to B/W or grayscale rendering (except if 'native
779 * ClearType' is selected by the font). Microsoft's main idea is to
780 * render at a much increased horizontal resolution, then sampling down
781 * the created output to subpixel precision. However, many older fonts
782 * are not suited to this and must be specially taken care of by applying
783 * (hardcoded) tweaks in Microsoft's interpreter.
785 * Details on subpixel hinting and some of the necessary tweaks can be
786 * found in Greg Hitchcock's whitepaper at
787 * 'https://www.microsoft.com/typography/cleartype/truetypecleartype.aspx'.
788 * Note that FreeType currently doesn't really 'subpixel hint' (6x1, 6x2,
789 * or 6x5 supersampling) like discussed in the paper. Depending on the
790 * chosen interpreter, it simply ignores instructions on vertical stems
791 * to arrive at very similar results.

796 * This property can be set via the `FREETYPE_PROPERTIES` environment

864 * auto-hinted, the Unicode character map of the font gets examined, and
865 * the script is then determined based on Unicode character ranges, see
