[ft-devel] losing outline flags while auto-hinting

[Alexei Podtelezhnikov]

Hi all,

Attached is a small program that demonstrates how freetype loses
outline flags during auto-hinting.
This is a demonstration:

$ ./outflags /usr/share/fonts/liberation/LiberationSerif-Regular.ttf 0x2
Liberation Serif Regular loaded...
Loading Flags: 0x2
Outline Flags: 0x100

$ ./outflags /usr/share/fonts/liberation/LiberationSerif-Regular.ttf 0x20
Liberation Serif Regular loaded...
Loading Flags: 0x20
Outline Flags: 0   <<<<<< LOST IT

$ ./outflags /usr/share/fonts/liberation/LiberationSerif-Regular.ttf 0x0
Liberation Serif Regular loaded...
Loading Flags: 0
Outline Flags: 0x110

$ ./outflags /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1/n019003l.pfb 0x2
Nimbus Sans L Regular loaded...
Loading Flags: 0x2
Outline Flags: 0x104

$ ./outflags /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1/n019003l.pfb 0x20
Nimbus Sans L Regular loaded...
Loading Flags: 0x20
Outline Flags: 0   <<<<<<< LOST IT

$ ./outflags /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1/n019003l.pfb 0x0
Nimbus Sans L Regular loaded...
Loading Flags: 0
Outline Flags: 0x104

Let me know if you're certain which function needs fixing. I can try
to come up with a patch.
