built-in or not into a separate builtin.mk file. The code to deal
checking for built-in software is much simpler to deal with in pkgsrc.
The buildlink3.mk file for a package will be of the usual format
regardless of the package, which makes it simpler for packagers to
update a package.
The builtin.mk file for a package must define a single yes/no variable
USE_BUILTIN.<pkg> that is used by bsd.buildlink3.mk to decide whether
to use the built-in software or to use the pkgsrc software.
as PREFER_PKGSRC. Preferences are determined by the most specific
instance of the package in either PREFER_PKGSRC or PREFER_NATIVE. If
a package is specified in neither or in both variables, then PREFER_PKGSRC
has precedence over PREFER_NATIVE.
Even 2.0.9 is not good enough for newer fontconfig; for example,
gtk2 won't buildlink correctly (and will use older X version of
include/freetype2/freetype/ftbdf.h) and libfontconfig needs
FT_Get_BDF_Property which is not defined.
No PKGREVISION bump is needed, because would not even build in
first place.
BUILDLINK_PREFER_PKGSRC
This variable determines whether or not to prefer the pkgsrc
versions of software that is also present in the base system.
This variable is multi-state:
defined, or "yes" always prefer the pkgsrc versions
not defined, or "no" only use the pkgsrc versions if
needed by dependency requirements
This can also take a list of packages for which to prefer the
pkgsrc-installed software. The package names may be found by
consulting the value added to BUILDLINK_PACKAGES in the
buildlink[23].mk files for that package.
- Updated to newest libtool version, fixing build problems on
various platforms.
- On Unix platforms, `make install' didn't copy the correct
`ftconfig.h' file.
CHANGES BETWEEN 2.1.6 and 2.1.5:
- The PFR font driver didn't load kerning tables correctly, and
the functions in FT_PFR_H didn't work at all.
- Type 1 font files in binary format (PFB) with an end-of-file
indicator weren't accepted by the FreeType engine.
- Fonts which contain /PaintType and /StrokeWidth no longer cause
a segfault. This bug has been introduced in version 2.1.5.
- Fonts loaded with FT_LOAD_RENDER no longer cause strange
results. This bug has been introduced in version 2.1.5.
- Some Windows (bitmap) FNT/FON files couldn't be handled
correctly.
- The internal module API has been heavily changed in favor of
massive simplifications within the font engine.
- The PostScript parser has been enhanced to handle comments and
strings correctly. Additionally, more syntax forms are
recognized.
- Added the optional unpatented hinting system for TrueType.
- There is now a guard in the public header files to protect
against inclusion of freetype.h from FreeType 1.
- Direct inclusion of freetype.h and other public header files no
longer works. You have to use the documented scheme
#include <ft2build.h>
#include FT_FREETYPE_H
to load freetype.h with a symbolic name. This protects against
renaming of public header files (which shouldn't happen but
actually has, avoiding two public header files with the same
name).
I. IMPORTANT BUG FIXES
- Parsing the /CIDFontName field now removes the leading slash to
be in sync with other font drivers.
- gzip support was buggy. Some fonts could not be read.
- Fonts which have nested subglyphs more than one level deep no
longer cause a segfault.
- Creation of synthetic cmaps for fonts in CFF format was broken
partially.
- Numeric font dictionary entries for synthetic fonts are no longer
overwritten.
- The font matrix wasn't applied to the advance width for Type1, CID,
and CFF fonts. This caused problem when loading certain synthetic
Type 1 fonts like "Helvetica Narrow"
- The test for the charset registry in BDF and PCF fonts is now
case-insensitive.
- FT_Vector_Rotate rotating sometimes returned strange values due to
rounding errors.
- The PCF driver now returns the correct number of glyphs (including
an artificial `notdef' glyph at index 0).
- FreeType now supports buggy CMaps which are contained in many CJK
fonts from Dynalab.
- Opening an invalid font on a Mac caused a segfault due to
double-freeing memory.
- BDF fonts with more than 32768 glyphs weren't supported properly.
II. IMPORTANT CHANGES
- Accessing bitmap font formats has been synchronized. To do that
the FT_Bitmap_Size structure has been extended to contain new
fields `size', `x_ppem', and `y_ppem'.
- The FNT driver now returns multiple faces, not multiple strikes.
- The `psnames' module has been updated to the Adobe Glyph List
version 2.0.
- The `psnames' module now understands `uXXXX[X[X]]' glyph names.
- The algorithm for guessing the font style has been improved.
- For fonts in sfnt format, root->height is no longer increased if
the line gap is zero. There exist fonts (containing e.g. form
drawing characters) which intentionally have a zero line gap value.
- ft_glyph_bbox_xxx flags are now deprecated in favour of
FT_GLYPH_BBOX_XXX.
- ft_module_xxx flags are now deprecated in favour of FT_MODULE_XXX.
- FT_ENCODING_MS_{SJIS,GB2312,BIG5,WANSUNG,JOHAB} are now deprecated
in favour of FT_ENCODING_{SJIS,GB2312,GIB5,WANSONG,JOHAB} -- those
encodings are not specific to Microsoft.
III. MISCELLANEOUS
- The autohinter has been further improved; for example, `m' glyphs
now retain its vertical symmetry.
- Partial support of Mac fonts on non-Mac platforms.
- `make refdoc' (after first `make') builds the HTML documentation.
You need Python for this.
- The make build system should now work more reliably on DOS-like
platforms.
- Support for EMX gcc and Watson C/C++ compilers on MS-DOS has been
added.
- Better VMS build support.
- Support for the pkg-config package by providing a `freetype.pc'
file.
- New configure option --with-old-mac-fonts for Darwin.
- Some source files have been renamed (mainly to fit into the 8.3
naming scheme).
Extract of changes:
- a fix in the Gzip stream reader, it couldn't read certain .gz files
properly due to a small typo. In certain cases, FreeType could also
loop endlessly when trying to load tiny gzipped files.
- certain fonts couldn't be loaded by 2.1.3 because they lacked a
Unicode charmap (e.g. SYMBOL.TTF). FreeType erroneously rejected
them.
- the CFF loader was modified to accept fonts which only
contain a subset of their reference charset. This prevented the
correct use of PDF-embedded fonts.
- the logic to detect Unicode charmaps has been modified. this is required
to support fonts which include both 16-bit and 32-bit charmaps (like
very recent asian ones) using the new 10 and 12 SFNT formats.
- the TrueType loader now limits the depth of composite glyphs. This is
necessary to prevent broken fonts to break the engine by blowing the
stack with recursive glyph definitions.
- the CMap cache is now capable of managing UCS-4 character codes that
are mapped through extended charmaps in recent TrueType/OpenType fonts
- the cache sub-system now properly manages out-of-memory conditions,
instead of blindly reporting them to the caller. This means that it
will try to empty the cache before restarting its allocations to see
if that can help.
- the PFR driver didn't return the list of available embedded bitmaps
properly.
- David Chester contributed some enhancements to the auto-hinter that
significantly increase the quality of its output. The Postscript hinter
was also improved in several ways..
- the FT_RENDER_MODE_LIGHT render mode was implemented
- a new API, called FT_Get_BDF_Property has been added to FT_BDF_H to
retrieve BDF properties from BDF _and_ PCF font files. THIS IS STILL
EXPERIMENTAL, since it hasn't been properly tested yet.
- a Windows FNT specific API has been added, mostly to access font
headers. This is used by Wine
- TrueType tables without a "hmtx" table are now tolerated when an
incremental interface is used. This happens for certain Type42 fonts
passed from Ghostscript to FreeType.
- the PFR font driver is now capable of returning the font family and
style names when they're available (instead of the sole "FontID"). This
is performed by parsing an *undocumented* portion of the font file !!
of pkgsrc:
- place -I${LOCALBASE}/freetype2 before -I${LOCALBASE}, since
otherwise freetype 1 headers might be used
- add -Wl,${RPATH_FLAG}
