Hi Nikolaus,
The current behaviour does actually appear to match the behaviour I requested.
Sorry for wasting your time and thanks for your work on FreeType.

Just to make sure, zboobzor, can you still trigger the autohinter with FontConfig's autohint=true property? Because you should be able to. If not, please post the rule set and application you're testing with.

Sorry for replying late, the notification went to my spam folder. Will test this, I would think FC already sends in the "force autohinting" flag, must check if the native-or-auto arbiter respects it.

I think that this request should rather be addressed to the FontConfig people. Nikolaus?

Wed 09 Dec 2015 09:31:05 AM UTC, original submission:

If my understanding is correct, the new behaviour of the hintslight setting is to use native hinting when possible and fall back to using the autohinter otherwise (in the vertical direction only) regardless of the "autohint" fontconfig setting.

If this is the case, could you please respect the "autohint" fontconfig setting which would lead to the following cases :

hintstyle hintslight + autohint false
= use native hinting when possible and fall back to using the autohinter otherwise (in the vertical direction only)
(this would equate to the new behaviour)

hintstyle hintslight + autohint true
= use the autohinter (in the vertical direction only)
(this would equate to the old behaviour)

This would allow for more choice and would also be consistent with the behaviour of hintfull.

Thanks.
