Re: [ft] Modifying/Enhancing the Truetype Interpreter

[Moony]

I've found that this small hack/patch does amazing things toward a 
CT-like rendering, when TT interpreter is enabled at compile time:

--- ttinterp.c.orig     2010-02-23 18:48:43.000000000 -0600
+++ ttinterp.c  2010-02-23 18:49:16.000000000 -0600

   {
     FT_UNUSED_EXEC;

-    zone->cur[point].x += distance;
+    /*zone->cur[point].x += distance;*/
     zone->tags[point]  |= FT_CURVE_TAG_TOUCH_X;
   }


Fonts that are designed specifically for CT, like Candara, Corbel, 
Segoe, etc. look fantastic between 16px and 24px-  TT instructing 
vertically, and no hinting horizontally.   Older ones like Arial and 
Verdana also look good, but suffer from more glitches.  This is 
obviously not a solution, but it's a start!
