ttfautohint 1.8.4
-----------------
by Werner Lemberg <wl@gnu.org>
This project provides a library that takes a TrueType font as the input,
removes its bytecode instructions (if any), and returns a new font where all
glyphs are bytecode hinted using the information given by FreeType's
auto-hinting module. The idea is to provide the excellent quality of the
auto-hinter on platforms that don't use FreeType.
The library has a single API function, `TTF_autohint'; see
`lib/ttfautohint.h' for a detailed description. Note that the library
itself won't get installed currently.
A command-line interface to the library is the `ttfautohint' program; after
compilation and installation, say
ttfautohint --help
for usage information, or say
man ttfautohint
to read its manual page.
A GUI to the library is `ttfautohintGUI'; it uses the Qt framework. The
compilation of this application can be disabled with the `--without-qt'
option of the `configure' script.
