Latest Release - 2011-11-25

[infinality]

This release should fix many of the reported issues. Hopefully it won't cause new ones.
http://www.infinality.net/blog/infinali ... e-patches/

• Fix issue that prevented stem alignment on thin autohinted stems
• Fix regression in Arial italics
• Fix problem with bitmap copies in filters. Remove unnecessary processing.
• Added an internal capping filter that helps even out the filtering of very light/thin stems.
• General consistent and smoother appearance on very light/thin stems
• Add TT rules to make Droid fonts render more nicely if using TT hinter for them.
• TT fixes for Bitstream Vera Sans.
• Made the default style less stem-aligned. I may have been a little too gregarious in setting it to 100%.
• Fix problems with various autohinted fonts that result in ridiculously small letters.
• Fixed mangled Courier New glyphs. This pointed to a larger bug that is now fixed.
• Fix artifacts on Courier New glyphs 0 Q O k.
• OSX style in infinality settings should actually be UBUNTU style. Fixed. Still need to get a better OSX style going.
• Option to use predefined value on known good fonts (Verdana, Arial, etc.). This gives you the benefit of snapping and other enhancements when its known to work well, without creating misshapen glyphs on other fonts.
• Only do heavy snapping on m in known cases.
• Added LINUX style to infinality-settings.sh

EDIT:
To be a bit more clear, there are 2 new options:

Code: Select all

INFINALITY_FT_STEM_SNAPPING_SLIDING_SCALE
INFINALITY_FT_USE_KNOWN_SETTINGS_ON_SELECTED_FONTS

See the infinality-settings.sh file for details.

These are not building like the other src.rpms used too :S i'm getting

RPM build errors:
create archive failed on file /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/freetype-infinality-2.4.8-7.1.x86_64/usr/share/doc/freetype-infinality-2.4.8/freetype-infinality-2.4.8-20111125_1.tar.bz2: cpio: Bad magic

From the openSUSE build service

Thanks for the fast update, new openSUSE packages are building in home:namtrac:subpixel as usual

Hmmm... maybe try unzipping it and rezipping using gzip?

EDIT: Is this for RHEL 6?

[lemonzest]

Yes this is for RHEL6

[infinality]

Does this shed any light on the issue?

Keep it going!

//
Also, the latest patch is great! Nice work, Infinality!

[infinality]

It's probably worth highlighting these new options as of the 2011-11-25 release, because I didn't call them out in the changelog:

INFINALITY_FT_STEM_SNAPPING_SLIDING_SCALE
INFINALITY_FT_USE_KNOWN_SETTINGS_ON_SELECTED_FONTS

See the infinality-settings.sh file for details.

[m2010m]

Great! This problem has gone!

But Courier New is still used on the terminal instead of the default monospace font (I write "still" because I had already noticed this issue; but I didn't explicity pointed it out because I thought it were strictly related to the above-mentioned one):



A small patch for this, please?
Thank you.

The only thing I can think of is that you need to add a strong binding for whatever you want to be using for your "monospace". In other words, it's not an "error" with anything Infinality, per se. It depends on how other stuff in /etc/fonts/ is configured.

Locate the alias area in local.conf for the rendering style you are using. Try adding this to the end of that section after you fill in your values:

Code: Select all

   <match target="font" >
      <test name="rendering_style" qual="any" >
         <string>RENDERING STYLE YOU ARE USING</string>
      </test>
      <test name="family" qual="any" >
         <string>monospace</string>
      </test>
      <edit mode="assign" name="family" binding="strong">
         <string>MONOSPACE FONT YOU WANT TO USE</string>
      </edit>
   </match>
