- Fix a bug in
shape_string()
usingvjust = 1
(#85)
- Use Courier New as default mono font on macOS instead of Courier to avoid issues between FreeType and Courier (#105)
- Provide a fallback solution to the setup of the CRAN windows builder so that fonts can be discovered (#87)
- Avoid warning when including the systemfonts header (#77)
- Fix size selection of non-scalable fonts when the requested size is bigger than the available
- Fix compilation bug when systemfont is used in C packages (#76)
- Ensure compitability with freetype <= 2.4.11 (#70, @jan-glx)
- Prepare for UCRT compilation
- Fix a bug in font matching on Windows when matching monospace fonts
- Fix a bug in
reset_font_cache()
on mac that would cause a system crash if the cache was not filled in advance (#67)
- Tweak size determination for non-scalable fonts
- Fix bug when switching between scalable and non-scalable fonts in the cache
- Add utility for querying font fallbacks at both the R and C level
- Add C-level API for finding emoji embeddings in strings
- Add utility for getting weight of font from C code
- Add utility for getting family name of font from C code
- Add font weight and width to the output of
font_info()
- Fix compiled code for old R versions
- Changes to comply with next cpp11 version
- Fixed warnings on CRAN LTO machine
- Added
get_cached_face()
so that other packages might retrieve FT_Face objects from the cache. - Adapted cpp11
- Add infrastructure for setting OpenType font features on a registered font with
either
register_font()
or the newregister_variant()
, along with thefont_feature()
function.
- Replace the buggy Freetype cache subsystem with own implementation
- Fix indexing bug in
glyph_metrics()
- Fix remaining valgrind issues by fixing the included font-manager code
- Rewrite the text shaping algorithm to make it more future proof
- Work around a nasty freetype bug in their cache subsystem
- Various fixes to the correctness of compiled code
- Add
string_widths_dev()
andstring_metrics_dev()
to request the current graphic device for string widths and metrics. - Add system for registering non-system fonts for look-up.
- systemfonts will now detect user-installed fonts on Windows (possible after the 1806 update)
- Font lookup is now cached for faster performance. The caching will get flushed
when new fonts are added to the registry, or manually with
reset_font_cache()
- Systemfonts now provide querying of font information with
font_info()
andglyph_info()
- Basic string shaping is now provided with
shape_string()
- Line width calculation is now available with
string_width()
(ignores presence of newlines, useshape_string()
for more complicated strings) - Added
str_split_emoji()
for splitting of strings into substrings of emoji and non-emoji glyphs - Provide a header file for easy use from within C in other packages
- Fix memory management issues on Mac
- Fix handling of erroneous font files on windows
- Fix compilation on systems with a very old fontconfig version (Solaris)
- First version with
match_font()
andsystem_fonts()
capabilities. More to come. - Added a
NEWS.md
file to track changes to the package.
