Sometimes the * vertical stems may be only partially black. In this context, * 'antialiasing' means that stems are not positioned exactly on pixel * borders, causing a fuzzy appearance. * * There are two principles behind this approach. * * 1) No hinting in the horizontal direction: Unlike 'superhinted' * TrueType, which changes glyph widths to accommodate regular * inter-glyph spacing, Adobe's approach is 'faithful to the design' in * representing both the glyph width and the inter-glyph spacing designed * for the font. This makes the screen display as close as it can be to * the result one would get with infinite resolution, while preserving * what is considered the key characteristics of each glyph. Note that * the distances between unhinted and grid-fitted positions at small * sizes are comparable to kerning values and thus would be noticeable * (and distracting) while reading if hinting were applied. * * One of the reasons to not hint horizontally is antialiasing for LCD * screens: The pixel geometry of modern displays supplies three vertical * subpixels as the eye moves horizontally across each visible pixel. On * devices where we can be certain this characteristic is present a * rasterizer can take advantage of the subpixels to add increments of * weight. In Western writing systems this turns out to be the more * critical direction anyway; the weights and spacing of vertical stems * (see above) are central to Armenian, Cyrillic, Greek, and Latin type * designs. Even when the rasterizer uses greyscale antialiasing instead * of color (a necessary compromise when one doesn't know the screen * characteristics), the unhinted vertical features preserve the design's * weight and spacing much better than aliased type would. * * 2) Alignment in the vertical direction: Weights and spacing along the * y~axis are less critical; what is much more important is the visual * alignment of related features (like cap-height and x-height). The * sense of alignment for these is enhanced by the sharpness of grid-fit * edges, while the cruder vertical resolution (full pixels instead of * 1/3 pixels) is less of a problem. * * On the technical side, horizontal alignment zones for ascender, * x-height, and other important height values (traditionally called * 'blue zones') as defined in the font are positioned independently, * each being rounded to the nearest pixel edge, taking care of overshoot * suppression at small sizes, stem darkening, and scaling. * * Hstems (this is, hint values defined in the font to help align * horizontal features) that fall within a blue zone are said to be * 'captured' and are aligned to that zone. Uncaptured stems are moved * in one of four ways, top edge up or down, bottom edge up or down. * Unless there are conflicting hstems, the smallest movement is taken to * minimize distortion. * */ /************************************************************************** * * @section: * pcf_driver * * @title: * The PCF driver * * @abstract: * Controlling the PCF driver module. * * @description: * While FreeType's PCF driver doesn't expose API functions by itself, it * is possible to control its behaviour with @FT_Property_Set and * @FT_Property_Get.

The following lists the available properties * together with the necessary macros and structures. * * The TrueType driver's module name is 'truetype'. * * A single property @interpreter-version is available, as documented in * the @properties section. * * We start with a list of definitions, kindly provided by Greg * Hitchcock. * * _Bi-Level Rendering_ * * Monochromatic rendering, exclusively used in the early days of * TrueType by both Apple and Microsoft. Microsoft's GDI interface * supported hinting of the right-side bearing point, such that the * advance width could be non-linear. Most often this was done to * achieve some level of glyph symmetry. To enable reasonable * performance (e.g., not having to run hinting on all glyphs just to get * the widths) there was a bit in the head table indicating if the side * bearing was hinted, and additional tables, `hdmx` and `LTSH`, to cache * hinting widths across multiple sizes and device aspect ratios. * * _Font Smoothing_ * * Microsoft's GDI implementation of anti-aliasing. Not traditional * anti-aliasing as the outlines were hinted before the sampling. The * widths matched the bi-level rendering. * * _ClearType Rendering_ * * Technique that uses physical subpixels to improve rendering on LCD * (and other) displays. Because of the higher resolution, many methods * of improving symmetry in glyphs through hinting the right-side bearing * were no longer necessary. This lead to what GDI calls 'natural * widths' ClearType, see * http://www.beatstamm.com/typography/RTRCh4.htm#Sec21. Since hinting * has extra resolution, most non-linearity went away, but it is still * possible for hints to change the advance widths in this mode. * * _ClearType Compatible Widths_ * * One of the earliest challenges with ClearType was allowing the * implementation in GDI to be selected without requiring all UI and * documents to reflow. To address this, a compatible method of * rendering ClearType was added where the font hints are executed once * to determine the width in bi-level rendering, and then re-run in * ClearType, with the difference in widths being absorbed in the font * hints for ClearType (mostly in the white space of hints); see * http://www.beatstamm.com/typography/RTRCh4.htm#Sec20. Somewhat by * definition, compatible width ClearType allows for non-linear widths, * but only when the bi-level version has non-linear widths. * * _ClearType Subpixel Positioning_ * * One of the nice benefits of ClearType is the ability to more crisply * display fractional widths; unfortunately, the GDI model of integer * bitmaps did not support this. However, the WPF and Direct Write * frameworks do support fractional widths. DWrite calls this 'natural * mode', not to be confused with GDI's 'natural widths'. Subpixel * positioning, in the current implementation of Direct Write, * unfortunately does not support hinted advance widths, see * http://www.beatstamm.com/typography/RTRCh4.htm#Sec22. Note that the * TrueType interpreter fully allows the advance width to be adjusted in * this mode, just the DWrite client will ignore those changes. * * _ClearType Backward Compatibility_ * * This is a set of exceptions made in the TrueType interpreter to * minimize hinting techniques that were problematic with the extra * resolution of ClearType; see * http://www.beatstamm.com/typography/RTRCh4.htm#Sec1 and * https://www.microsoft.com/typography/cleartype/truetypecleartype.aspx. * This technique is not to be confused with ClearType compatible widths. * ClearType backward compatibility has no direct impact on changing * advance widths, but there might be an indirect impact on disabling * some deltas. This could be worked around in backward compatibility * mode. * * _Native ClearType Mode_ * * (Not to be confused with 'natural widths'.) This mode removes all the * exceptions in the TrueType interpreter when running with ClearType. * Any issues on widths would still apply, though. * */ /************************************************************************** * * @section: * properties * * @title: * Driver properties * * @abstract: * Controlling driver modules. * * @description: * Driver modules can be controlled by setting and unsetting properties, * using the functions @FT_Property_Set and @FT_Property_Get.

The side-effect is * that glyphs 'thin out'. Mac OS~X and Adobe's proprietary font * rendering library implement a counter-measure: stem darkening at * smaller sizes where shades of gray dominate.
