Applied a patch from Hidetoshi for embedded bitmap metrics support.

Yamano-uchi added support for SFNT-wrapped CID bitmap font files (with
minor modifications from WL).

Simplifying the FIELD_* and FRAME_* macros.  Before calling these macros,
you should #define FT_STRUCTURE to the structure which will be filled.

Replaced FT_FIELD_REF with FT_FIELD_SIZE, FT_FIELD_SIZE_DELTA, and
FT_FIELD_OFFSET to make the code more readable; additionally, it should be
more portable because we no longer cast a pointer to an FT_UShort (which
e.g. fails with Sun's C++ compiler) but computes the difference between two
pointers which is guaranteed to work.

Fixing warnings (and C++ errors) while using Sun's latest cc and CC
incarnations.  Most of them are related to variable shadowing.

Formatting.

is just too much of a pain for me, I prefer a good old
static lib without optimizations :-)

"make devel" is back on Unix then..

Removing compiler warnings about unused portions of code.

Now unix.in uses absolute paths also to overcome problems with libtool.
To do that in a consistent way I had to modify the rules how to handle
$OBJ_DIR (and consequently $LIB_DIR): You should set $OBJ_DIR explicitly
on the command line (or environment).

Formatting.

Moving some internal structures and constants from freetype.h to ftobjs.h.

Finally removing FT_LOAD_ANTI_ALIAS.

Cleaning up all error codes.  Only the used ones have survived :-)

Removed unused FT_MAX_GLYPH_FORMATS constant.

T2 error codes are now in the range 0x500-0x5FF (instead of `TrueDoc').

Some minor improvements of error return values.

Finally fixing error code values in ftraster and ftgrays to be compliant
with all other FT error codes.

Formatting.

Adding some trivial error checking.

Adding/Fixing tracing levels.

directory compilation (by defining the FT_FLAT_COMPILE
macro at compile time..)

moved "freetype2/BUILD" to "freetype2/docs/BUILD"

Run g++ on the FreeType library.  This should make the use of code in
C++ programs easier:

  Renamed FT_WordXX to FT_UIntXX.

  Changed a lot of void* to FT_Byte* if related to i/o streams -- FreeType
  always accesses streams byte-wise, so this makes sense IMHO.

  Added a lot of #ifdef __cplusplus to header files (and removed a few).

  Other minor syntax fixes (mostly casts).

  Replaced the variable `private' with `private_dict' -- `private' is
  reserved in C++.

Formatting.

Fixed some errors which prevented compiling.

applying formatting again

explain now, but they'll be very useful in the near future :-)

    A lot of internal modifications have been performed lately on the
    source in order to provide the following enhancements:

      - more generic module support:

        The FT_Module type is now defined to represent a handle to a given
        module. The file <freetype/ftmodule.h> contains the FT_Module_Class
        definition, as well as the module-loading public API

        The FT_Driver type is still defined, and still represents a pointer
        to a font driver. Note that FT_Add_Driver is replaced by FT_Add_Module,
        FT_Get_Driver by FT_Get_Module, etc..


      - support for generic glyph image types:

        The FT_Renderer type is a pointer to a module used to perform various
        operations on glyph image.

        Each renderer is capable of handling images in a single format
        (e.g. ft_glyph_format_outline). Its functions are used to:

           - transform an glyph image
           - render a glyph image into a bitmap
           - return the control box (dimensions) of a given glyph image


        The scan converters "ftraster.c" and "ftgrays.c" have been moved
        to the new directory "src/renderer", and are used to provide two
        default renderer modules.

        One corresponds to the "standard" scan-converter, the other to the
        "smooth" one.

        The current renderer can be set through the new function
        FT_Set_Renderer.

        The old raster-related function FT_Set_Raster, FT_Get_Raster and
        FT_Set_Raster_Mode have now disappeared, in favor of the new:

           FT_Get_Renderer
           FT_Set_Renderer

        see the file <freetype/ftrender.h> for more details..

        These changes were necessary to properly support different scalable
        formats in the future, like bi-color glyphs, etc..


      - glyph loader object:

        A new internal object, called a 'glyph loader' has been introduced
        in the base layer. It is used by all scalable format font drivers
        to load glyphs and composites.

        This object has been created to reduce the code size of each driver,
        as each one of them basically re-implemented its functionality.

        See <freetype/internal/ftobjs.h> and the FT_GlyphLoader type for
        more information..



      - FT_GlyphSlot had new fields:

        In order to support extended features (see below), the FT_GlyphSlot
        structure has a few new fields:

           linearHoriAdvance:  this field gives the linearly scaled (i.e.
                               scaled but unhinted) advance width for the glyph,
                               expressed as a 16.16 fixed pixel value. This
                               is useful to perform WYSIWYG text.

           linearVertAdvance:  this field gives the linearly scaled advance
                               height for the glyph (relevant in vertical glyph
                               layouts only). This is useful to perform
                               WYSIWYG text.

        Note that the two above field replace the removed "metrics2" field
        in the glyph slot.

           advance:   this field is a vector that gives the transformed
                      advance for the glyph. By default, it corresponds
                      to the advance width, unless FT_LOAD_VERTICAL_LAYOUT
                      was specified when calling FT_Load_Glyph or FT_Load_Char

           bitmap_left: this field gives the distance in integer pixels from
                        the current pen position to the left-most pixel of
                        a glyph image WHEN IT IS A BITMAP. It is only valid
                        when the "format" field is set to
                        "ft_glyph_format_bitmap", for example, after calling
                        the new function FT_Render_Glyph.

           bitmap_top:  this field gives the distance in integer pixels from
                        the current pen position (located on the baseline) to
                        the top-most pixel of the glyph image WHEN IT IS A
                        BITMAP. Positive values correspond to upwards Y.

           loader:  this is a new private field for the glyph slot. Client
                    applications should not touch it..


      - support for transforms and direct rendering in FT_Load_Glyph:

        Most of the functionality found in <freetype/ftglyph.h> has been
        moved to the core library. Hence, the following:

          - a transform can be specified for a face through FT_Set_Transform.
            this transform is applied by FT_Load_Glyph to scalable glyph images
            (i.e. NOT TO BITMAPS) before the function returns, unless the
            bit flag FT_LOAD_IGNORE_TRANSFORM was set in the load flags..


          - once a glyph image has been loaded, it can be directly converted to
            a bitmap by using the new FT_Render_Glyph function. Note that this
            function takes the glyph image from the glyph slot, and converts
            it to a bitmap whose properties are returned in "face.glyph.bitmap",
            "face.glyph.bitmap_left" and "face.glyph.bitmap_top". The original
            native image might be lost after the conversion.


          - when using the new bit flag FT_LOAD_RENDER, the FT_Load_Glyph
            and FT_Load_Char functions will call FT_Render_Glyph automatically
            when needed.

A new formatting orgy.

Added some `#if 0' to completely disable the CID AFM stuff.  In case this is
not correct please fix.

rid of most of the basic types redefinitions (i.e. FT_Int instead
of "FT_Int", etc..)

The format-specific prefixs like "TT_", "T1_", "T2_" & 'CID_"
are now only used in relevant structures..

fixed Werner's fix to t2gload.c :-)
other small bug fixes

The next round of formatting, checking documentation, etc.

A lot of formatting.

Added more tracing levels.

More Makefile fixes.

Minor other changes.

Moved all *errors.h header files to include/freetype/internal for
consistency.

Removed unused error message.

module (whose interface has changed, by the way)

This allows even more code re-use between TrueType and
OpenType formats..

FT_TRACE calls to use %p instead of %lx when dumping
a pointer address

introduced a new load flag (FT_LOAD_CROP_BITMAP) used
to indicate that we want embedded bitmaps to be cropped..

Thanks a lot to Yamano-uchi, Hidetoshi

compiler warnings with GCC + "-ansi -pedantic -Wall -W"
and LCC.

Also fixed the compilation of "type1z" with Win32-LCC
(its pre-processor is broken !!)

Updated the BUILD document too

to font drivers when creating a new face object.

The FT_Open_Args structure has been changed to simplify
its use and allow generic parameters too..

FT_Outline_<action> syntax..

block to be freed twice. Also performed changes to use
the new glyph zone object that has appeared in ftobjs.h

module doesn't support embedded bitmaps and
postscript names..

cleanly when TT_CONFIG_OPTION_POSTSCRIPT_NAMES
is undefined..

- some #ifdefs were included in order to _not_
  compile support for the bytecode interpreter
  when FT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER
  is not defined in "ttconfig.h"

- the glyph loader has been seriously re-designed. It is now
  smaller, simpler and should load composites a bit faster

- works with the TrueType debugger

  - modified the interface of the "sfnt" module. There is now a function
    called "load_format_tag", and another called "load_directory".

    The first one is in charge of returning the 4-byte tag located at
    the beginning of a given font file. It understand TrueType collections
    and parses them automatically

    The second loads the table directory that is located just after
    the format tag.

    This is useful, because the "SFNT" storage scheme can be used by
    several distinct formats, each with its own format tag.

    The TrueType driver now checks the format tag in "src/truetype/ttobjs.c"

  - made some changes to "src/shared/t1types.h" to clearly separate the
    Type 1 font content from the rest of the T1_Face structure. This
    will be useful when adding the CFF/Type2 driver that will be able
    to reuse the "T1_Font" structure within a "TT_Font" one (which
    really describes a SFNT-based font file).

    Some changes in "src/type1" were thus performed to reflect this.
    Note that the current type1 driver will be discontinued in a
    distant future. More on this later..

names to be incorrectly ignored..

now be 100% compatible with the implementation in FreeType 1.x.

It's now time to make a new tag for the repository :-)
