- /* A small technical note regarding automatic hinting in order to */
- /* clarify this module interface. */
- /* */
- /* An automatic hinter might compute two kinds of data for a given face: */
- /* */
- /* - global hints: Usually some metrics that describe global properties */
- /* of the face. It is computed by scanning more or less */
- /* aggressively the glyphs in the face, and thus can be */
- /* very slow to compute (even if the size of global */
- /* hints is really small). */
- /* */
- /* - glyph hints: These describe some important features of the glyph */
- /* outline, as well as how to align them. They are */
- /* generally much faster to compute than global hints. */
- /* */
- /* The current FreeType auto-hinter does a pretty good job while */
- /* performing fast computations for both global and glyph hints. */
- /* However, we might be interested in introducing more complex and */
- /* powerful algorithms in the future, like the one described in the John */
- /* D. Hobby paper, which unfortunately requires a lot more horsepower. */
- /* */
- /* Because a sufficiently sophisticated font management system would */
- /* typically implement an LRU cache of opened face objects to reduce */
- /* memory usage, it is a good idea to be able to avoid recomputing */
- /* global hints every time the same face is re-opened. */
- /* */
- /* We thus provide the ability to cache global hints outside of the face */
- /* object, in order to speed up font re-opening time. Of course, this */
- /* feature is purely optional, so most client programs won't even notice */
- /* it. */
- /* */
- /* I initially thought that it would be a good idea to cache the glyph */
- /* hints too. However, my general idea now is that if you really need */
- /* to cache these too, you are simply in need of a new font format, */
- /* where all this information could be stored within the font file and */
- /* decoded on the fly. */
