Re: [ft] Differences between 2.1.10 and 2.4.6

[Vojtěch Meluzín]

Thank you folks, I'll try that. Anyway here are the samples and I definitely like the former more:

former: http://www.meldaproduction.com/download/ft211.jpg
latter: http://www.meldaproduction.com/download/ft246.jpg

Thanks!

Hi,

try to use automatic hinter (auto-hinter) instead of bytecode one
(which is default I believe).

To use the former load_flag FT_LOAD_DEFAULT should be used.
To use the latter load_flag FT_LOAD_FORCE_AUTOHINT should be used.

regards
