Reviewing changes

From DejaVuWiki

Each patch should be reviewed thoroughly to avoid regression.

A great deal of issues can be dealt with with running SFD normalizer and Problems finder.

Other issues have to be checked manually.

[edit]

Issues

  • Removal of TTF hinting instructions: Look out for TtfInstr being removed
  • Addition of empty characters.
  • Fontforge error: "Invalid 2nd order spline in SplineRefigure2". This does not affect font generation but should be dealt with as soon as possible.
[edit]

Non issues

  • Some newer versions of Fontforge recalculate the spline, this seems to be no problem. For example: 
- 1227.01 463 1227.01 463 1311.5 500.5 c 0,31,32
+ 1227.01 463 1227.01 463 1311.5 500.5 c 128,-1,32
