Re: [ft-devel] Turning off stem darkening by default until all drivers support it?

Aah, wait! Light mode should not imply stem darkening for anything. Only when the lib specifies an additional i-want-to-do-LAB+GC load flag should stem darkening be happening. That way, we have more time to work on that feature and libs can use it when they see fit. The flag has yet to be written :)

So, for now I propose: 1. set no_stem_darkening = true for both autohinter and cff driver. 2. include jan's patch to modify the meaning of light mode.

Okay!
