Re: [ft-devel] Experimental: v38 interpreter with minimal backwards compatibility mode and linear advance widths

[Nikolaus Waxweiler]

The next iteration.

- Execution of glyph instructions is stopped after IUP[x] and IUP[y] are 
called. This saves some backwards compatibility hack work.
- SHPIX now denies execution under the same circumstances as DELTAP. 
Before, this blew up Rokkitt, but the freshly released v1.2 in Google's 
font directory works fine. Hurrah!
- Code that reset x-coordinates after hinting was removed, I found it 
made no discernible difference. Saves some memory writes.
- Extended documentation somewhat.

Known problems: Several glyphs of the DejaVu family get no hinting at 
any size, as if it was disabled for the affected glyphs. Must investigate.
