- Update to version 2.7.1:
* IMPORTANT CHANGES
+ Support for the new CFF2 font format as introduced with
OpenType 1.8 has been contributed by Dave Arnolds from Adobe.
+ Preliminary support for variation fonts as specified in
OpenType 1.8 (in addition to the already existing support for
Adobe's MM and Apple's GX formats). Dave Arnolds contributed
handling of advance width change variation; more will come in
the next version.
* IMPORTANT BUG FIXES
+ Handling of raw CID fonts was partially broken (bug introduced
in 2.6.4).
* MISCELLANEOUS
+ Some limits for TrueType bytecode execution have been tightened
to speed up FreeType's handling of malformed fonts, in
particular to quickly abort endless loops.
+ The number of twilight points can no longer be set to an
arbitrarily large value.
+ The total number of jump opcode instructions (like JMPR) with
negative arguments is dynamically restricted; the same holds
for the total number of iterations in LOOPCALL opcodes.
+ The dynamic limits are based on the number of points in a glyph
and the number of CVT entries. Please report if you encounter a
font where the selected values are not adequate.
+ PCF family names are made more `colourful'; they now include the
foundry and information whether they contain wide characters.
For example, you no longer get `Fixed' but rather `Sony Fixed'
or `Misc Fixed Wide'.
+ A new function `FT_Get_Var_Blend_Coordinates' (with its alias
name `FT_Get_MM_Blend_Coordinates') to retrieve the normalized

- Upadte to version 2.6.4:
* A new subpixel hinting mode, which is now the default rendering
mode for TrueType fonts. It implements (almost everything of)
version 40 of the bytecode engine. The existing code base in
FreeType (the `Infinality code') was stripped to the bare
minimum and all configurability removed in the name of speed
and simplicity. The configurability was mainly aimed at legacy
fonts like Arial, Times New Roman, or Courier. [Legacy fonts
are fonts that modify vertical stems to achieve clean
black-and-white bitmaps.] The new mode focuses on applying a
minimal set of rules to all fonts indiscriminately so that
modern and web fonts render well while legacy fonts render
okay. Activation of the subpixel hinting support can be
controlled with the `TT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_HINTING'
configuration option at compile time: If set to value 1, you
get the old Infinality mode (which was never the default due to
its slowness). Value 2 activates the new subpixel hinting mode,
and value 3 activates both. The default is value 2. At run
time, you can select the subpixel hinting mode with the
`interpreter-version' property (provided you have compiled in
the corresponding hinting mode); see `ftttdrv.h' for more.
* Support for the following scripts has been added to the
auto-hinter: Armenian, Cherokee, Ethiopic, Georgian, Gujarati,
Gurmukhi, Malayalam, Sinhala, Tamil.
- Rebase freetype2-subpixel.patch.
- Update to version 2.6.4:
+ Sync with freetype 2.6.4.

- Update to version 2.6.3
* IMPORTANT CHANGES
- Khmer, Myanmar, Bengali, and Kannada script support has been
added to the auto-hinter.
* MISCELLANEOUS
- Better support of Indic scripts like Devanagari by using a
top-to-bottom hinting flow.
- All FreeType macros starting with two underscores have been
renamed to avoid a violation of both the C and C++ standards.
Example: Header macros of the form `__FOO_H__' are now called
`FOO_H_'. In most cases, this should be completely transparent
to the user. The exception to this is `__FTERRORS_H__', which
must be sometimes undefined by the user to get FreeType error
strings: Both this form and the new `FTERRORS_H_' macro are
accepted for backwards compatibility.
- Minor improvements mainly to the Type 1 driver.
- The new CFF engine now supports all Type 2 operators except
`random'.
- The macro `_STANDALONE_', used for compiling the B/W and smooth
rasterizers as stand-alone modules, has been renamed to
`STANDALONE_', since macro names starting with an underscore and
followed by an uppercase letter are reserved in both C and C++.
- Function `FT_Library_SetLcdFilterWeights' now also activates
custom LCD filter weights (instead of just adjusting them).
- Support for `unpatented hinting' has been completely removed:
Consequently, the two functions `FT_Face_CheckTrueTypePatents'
and `FT_Face_SetUnpatentedHinting' now return always false,
doing nothing.

- Update to version 2.6.2
* IMPORTANT CHANGES
- The auto-hinter now supports stem darkening, to be controlled by
the new `no-stem-darkening' and `darkening-parameters'
properties. This is an experimental feature contributed by
Nikolaus Waxweiler, and the interface might change in a future
release.
- By default, stem darkening is now switched off (for both the CFF
engine and the auto-hinter). The main reason is that you need
linear alpha blending and gamma correction to get correct
rendering results, and the latter is not yet available in most
freely available rendering stacks like X11. Applying stem
darkening without proper gamma correction leads to far too dark
rendering results.
- The meaning of `FT_RENDER_MODE_LIGHT' has been slightly
modified. It now essentially means `no hinting along the
horizontal axis'; in particular, no change of glyph advance
widths. Consequently, the auto-hinter is used for all scalable
font formats except for CFF. It is planned that other
font-specific rendering engines (TrueType, Type 1) will follow.
* MISCELLANEOUS
- The default LCD filter has been changed to be normalized and
color-balanced.
- For better compatibility with FontConfig, function
`FT_Library_SetLcdFilter' accepts a new enumeration value
`FT_LCD_FILTER_LEGACY1' (which has the same meaning as
`FT_LCD_FILTER_LEGACY').
- A large number of bugs have been detected by using the libFuzzer
framework, which should further improve handling of invalid
fonts. Thanks again to Kostya Serebryany and Bungeman!

- Update to version 2.6
* Thread safety improvements
* Thai script support has been added to the auto-hinter.
* Arabic script support has been added to the auto-hinter.
* Following OpenType version 1.7, advance widths and side bearing
values in CFFs (wrapped in an SFNT structure) are now always
taken from the `hmtx' table.
* Following OpenType version 1.7, the PostScript font name of a
CFF font (wrapped in an SFNT structure) is now always taken from
the `name' table. This is also true for OpenType Collections
(i.e., TTCs using CFFs subfonts instead of TTFs), where it may
have a significant difference.
* Fonts natively hinted for ClearType are now supported, properly
handling selector index 3 of the INSTCTRL bytecode instruction.
* Major improvements to the GX TrueType variation font handling.
- Update to version 2.6
* ftgrid can now display GX and MM fonts.
* Anti-aliasing rendering modes can now be selected (with keys
F5 and F6).
* The display of point numbers can be toggled with key `D'.
* ftdump now display information on MM and GX variation axes.
* ftmulti can now handle up to six MM or GX axes.
- Refresh overflow.patch

default.

'l', and toggling custom LCD filtering is no longer mapped to
key 'F' but to key 'L'.
* In `ftdiff', key 'x' toggles between layout modes: Either use
the advance width (this is new and now the default) or the
bounding box information to determine line breaks.
* For all demo tools, the new command line option `-v' shows the
version.
* For the demo tools with a GUI, the new command line options '-w'
and '-h' select the width and the height of the output window,
respectively.

glyph loader, the auto-hinter, and the B/W rasterizer.

been added.
* Better TTF support for x_ppem != y_ppem.

- Update to version 2.4.6
* For TrueType based fonts, the ascender and descender values were
incorrect sometimes (off by a pixel if the ppem value was not a
multiple of 5). Depending on the use you might now experience
a different layout; the change should result in better, more
consistent line spacing.
* Fix CVE-2011-0226 which causes a vulnerability while handling
Type 1 fonts.
* BDF fonts containing glyphs with negative values for ENCODING
were incorrectly rejected. This bug has been introduced in
FreeType version 2.2.0.

been introduced to support PostScript and PDF miter joins.
* FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_MITER_VARIABLE has been introduced as an
alias for FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_MITER.
* Various stroking glitches has been fixed
* SFNT bitmap fonts which contain an outline glyph for `.notdef'
only no longer set the FT_FACE_FLAG_SCALABLE flag.
- Drop bnc704612_othersubr.diff, applied upstream
