7 This project provides a library which takes a TrueType font as the input,
8 removes its bytecode instructions (if any), and returns a new font where all
9 glyphs are bytecode hinted using the information given by FreeType's
10 auto-hinting module. The idea is to provide the excellent quality of the
11 auto-hinter on platforms which don't use FreeType.
13 The library has a single API function, `TTF_autohint'; see
14 `lib/ttfautohint.h' for a detailed description. Note that the library
15 itself won't get installed currently.
17 A command-line interface to the library is the `ttfautohint' program; after
18 compilation and installation, say
22 for usage information, or say
26 to read its manual page.
28 A GUI to the library is `ttfautohintGUI'; it uses the Qt4 framework. The
29 compilation of this application can be disabled with the `--without-qt'
30 option of the `configure' script.
