From: Werner LEMBERG
Subject: [freetype2] master 0a5315d: Introduce AF_CONFIG_OPTION_TT_SIZE_METRICS configuration option.
Date: Thu, 27 Apr 2017 07:03:14 -0400 (EDT)

branch: master
commit 0a5315d141e698253603170595c655132d9baff2
Author: Werner Lemberg <address@hidden>
Commit: Werner Lemberg <address@hidden>

    Introduce AF_CONFIG_OPTION_TT_SIZE_METRICS configuration option.
    
    * include/freetype/config/ftoption.h
    (AF_CONFIG_OPTION_TT_SIZE_METRICS): New option, commented out by
    default.
    
    * src/autofit/afloader.c (af_loader_load_glyph): Use
    AF_CONFIG_OPTION_TT_SIZE_METRICS to guard the corresponding code.
