TT hinting on G3

guidoferreyra · August 4, 2021, 5:08pm

Hi! I always done manual Truetype hinting in G2. How stable is TT hinting in G3? There is any known bugs? Since my files are G2 I can do it on it but, there is any benefit in G3 regarding this subject?

Best.

I think it should work as good. But didn’t try it myself recently.

Great, thanks. I was eager to switch to G3 for this, the new sidebar pixel preview looks promising, btw what is using to render the font there? It is an estimation or is actually what happens on Win?

It is using freetype.
