Hello, I have a submitted a patch to freetype which improves kerning in the autohinter. ?Here are my posts on freetype's devel list: http://www.freetype.org/pipermail/devel/2003-July/009545.html http://www.freetype.org/pipermail/devel/2003-July/009559.html At this time the McGill site which hosts the example images seems to be down, but I put up the second graphic at: http://chesterandvestal.ath.cx:8000/kern2.png Basically, errors from rounding the advance widths are remembered and accounted for during layout, one level up (i.e. in Xft or ftstring, etc.). ?In the posts above, I attached a patch which makes ftstring (from the ft2demos package) able to take these errors into account. ?However, I am unfamiliar with the Xft code, and I am wondering how this might be implemented in Xft. ??? The patch has not yet been accepted, and it may eventually have a very different implementation in the end, but it would be useful to know exactly how this would work with Xft. Thanks very much.
