Hi,
We are currently using the FreeType library version 2.1.10. We attempted to switch to version 2.3.4 primarily for the improvements in auto-hinting, but gave up because we had problems with transforming glyphs hinted using the auto-hinter. If the glyphs have no associated transform, they still display with no problems. The transform is applied to the glyph outline using FT_Glyph_Transform. The transform matrix is calculated the same way for both cases.
This is an illustration of the problem for a glyph from the DFKai font (using the FreeType 2.3.4 library).
Glyph rotated by 90 degrees, patented hinting (correct) Glyph rotated by 90 degrees, auto-hinting
Do you have any suggestions as to what might be the problem, and if there is something we could do to correct/work around it? Any ideas would be much appreciated.
I would be happy to provide more information if needed.
Thanks,
Luiza Solomon
