Hi all,
On this issue, I’ve noticed a particularly egregious example in the past
few days: around 20 ppem, with autohinting enabled, ⟨ñ⟩ in Noto Sans
Regular consistently renders with a horizontal bar, so as to be
indistinguishable from ⟨n̄⟩. As Werner mentioned some time ago, this
particular character may not be a huge problem in practise, but it would
be nice to get this fixed nonetheles. I note especially that --- at
least on my machine --- popular sites like Wikipedia and Reddit render
in precisely this font at that size.
(This issue actually has an interesting story behind it... after getting
fed up with scaling issues in Emacs with my HiDPI laptop screen, I
decided to try out Wayland. Indeed, Wayland fixed all my rendering
issues, allowing my lower-resolution external monitors to be rendered at
their correct resolution rather than being downscaled 2×. But that also
meant the hinter finally needed to do some actual work, meaning this
issue suddenly became obvious. I suspect this issue also indicates that,
for some reason, my computer has been autohinting everything... it is a
testament to the quality of Freetype that I never noticed this before!)
Regards,
Brad

Thanks for the feedback on the algorithm!
I'm trying to use ftview to get some more sample images, but I can't
find the image produced by the "print png" feature. Where is it saved?
In the benchmark file, is a higher number better or worse? In either
case, the performance hasn't changed much.

Hi, I think this benchmark page in attachment is what you wanted to.
Made baseline in my branch, fetched and merged with craigs branch,
made benchmark.
Best,

No, only parameter that given to ftbench.o is -c 50 for now. but i
will do by “-r 1” parameter.
Yes, please try that.
so i need to pass additional parameters from command line first.
then, print it to benchmark page as well as commit id and date.
Exactly.
