testing ftdiff with various Apple fonts I found a weird behaviour with Monaco.dfont in the 'unhinted mode' at several rendering sizes:ok at, e.g., 13pt: http://www.hft.ei.tum.de/mz/Monaco13pt.png wrong at, e.g., 14pt: http://www.hft.ei.tum.de/mz/Monaco14pt.pngI don't get this. For me it works on my GNU/Linux box (with 4.0.2), this is, I tried ftdiff Monaco.dfont then pressing the down arrow four times (I have version 4.1d3 of this font) -- FreeType has been compiled with `make; make devel'. Can you investigate further? Which platform do you use? What about compiling with different optimization flags?
Mac OS X 10.4.9, Xcode 2.4.1 (gcc version 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5367)), I grabbed both freetype2 and ft2demo via cvs (updated today). Monaco version "5.1d1e1".
I compiled freetype with #define TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER /*#define TT_CONFIG_OPTION_UNPATENTED_HINTING*/ and no extra flags. No custom settings for ft2demo, either.It would be nice if I could supply options to ftdiff specifying the subfont/the included bitmap font; I don't know which subfont is chosen by ftdiff right now. Opening Monaco.dfont with fontforge there are four bitmap sizes: 9,10,12,14; perhaps that's related to the problem?
I checked the other .dfonts, no such problems there (at least with the subfonts that are loaded by ftdiff). Well ok, HelveticaNeue looks scary ;-) http://www.hft.ei.tum.de/mz/HelveticaNeue.png
