Jens Kutílek<p>A deep dive into FontLab Studio 5’s TrueType hinting code: <a href="https://github.com/jenskutilek/fakelab/blob/main/doc/truetype-hinting/index.md" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/jenskutilek/fakelab</span><span class="invisible">/blob/main/doc/truetype-hinting/index.md</span></a><br>About 10 years ago, I really wanted to understand how TrueType hinting works in FLS5, and how it compiles its graphical representation to bytecode. Thought I’d write it all down before I forget it. Check it out if you enjoy reading TrueType assembly code :)<br><a href="https://typo.social/tags/TrueTypeHinting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TrueTypeHinting</span></a> <a href="https://typo.social/tags/TrueType" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TrueType</span></a> <a href="https://typo.social/tags/Fonts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fonts</span></a> <a href="https://typo.social/tags/Assembly" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Assembly</span></a> <a href="https://typo.social/tags/Bytecode" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Bytecode</span></a></p>
