The italic angle is commonly specified in fractional degrees in
Type 1 fonts and its derivatives. This change clarifies and fixes
these values. Note that CFF fonts has always reported them as such,
but truncated the underline position and thickness. Fixes#1367.
* include/freetype/t1tables.h (PS_FontInfoRec):
Use FT_Fixed for italic_angle.
* src/cid/cidtoken.h, src/type1/t1tokens.h, src/type42/t42parse.c:
Modify the italic_angle token.
* src/cff/cffdrivr.c (cff_ps_get_font_info): Fix the underline
position and thickness.

The previous code had a fundamental flaw: it didn't validate the necessary
parts of the 'GPOS' table before accessing it, causing crashes with
malformed data (since `TT_CONFIG_OPTION_GPOS_KERNING` is off by default,
standard fuzzers don't catch these problems). Additionally, it did a lot of
parsing while accessing kerning data, making it rather slow.
The new implementation fixes this. After validation, offsets to the 'GPOS'
lookup subtables used in the 'kern' feature that correspond to 'simple'
kerning (i.e., similar to 'kern' table kerning) are stored in `TT_Face`;
this greatly simplifies and accelerates access to the kerning data.
Testing with font `SF-Pro.ttf` version '1.00', the validation time for the
'GPOS' table increases the start-up time of `FT_New_Face` by less than 1%,
while calls to `FT_Get_Kerning` become about 3.5 times faster.
* include/freetype/internal (gpos_kerning_available): Replace with...
(gpos_lookups_kerning, num_gpos_lookups_kerning): ... these new fields.
Update callers.
* src/ttgpos.c [TT_CONFIG_OPTION_GPOS_KERNING]: A new implementation.
Due to the new GSUB parsing we no longer need
`hb_ot_layout_lookup_get_glyph_alternates`.
This partially reverts commit 5d2fd7608a.
* CMakeLists.txt (HARFBUZZ_MIN_VERSION), meson.build (harfbuzz_dep),
builds/unix/configure.raw (harfbuzz_pkg): Set version to 2.0.0.
* src/autofit/ft-hb-decls.h: Remove entry for
`hb_ot_layout_lookup_get_glyph_alternates`.
Even if it was explicitly set by either design or normalized APIs.
Also update documentation.
* src/truetype/ttgxvar.c (TT_Set_MM_Blend, TT_Set_Var_Design): Use value -2
of `error` to indicate that we have a non-default instance.
(TT_Set_Named_Instance): Updated.
* src/base/ftmm.c (FT_Set_Var_Design_Coordinates,
FT_Set_Var_Blend_Coordinates): Updated.
This adds many pre-combined Latin glyphs, Cyrillic, Greek, and some
characters from other scripts (or rather, Unicode blocks).
Fixes issues #112 and #471.
Instead of cumbersome field list mamangement, we will tokenize input
using custom `bdf_strtok_`.
* src/bdf/bdflib.c (bdf_list_t_, bdf_list_init_, bdf_list_ensure_,
bdf_list_shift_, bdf_list_join_, bdf_list_split_,
bdf_set_default_spacing_): Removed.
(bdf_strtok_): New function which NUL-terminates the first token at
the delimiter position and returns the next token that follows
consequtive delimiters.
(bdf_parse_*_, bdf_load_font): Updated.
* docs/CHANGES: Claim overall 75% performance improvement.
A dedicated parser of bitmap data with minimal error checking and
no string comparisons helps to improve performance.
* src/bdf/bdflib.c (bdf_parse_bitmap_): New dedicated bitmap parser.
(bdf_parse_glyphs_): Pass to `bdf_parse_bitmap_` on BITMAP.
For consistency with other bitmap-only fonts, we should ignore this
flag of the font is not scalable.
* src/truetype/ttgload.c (TT_Load_Glyph): Check if face is scalable
when checking for FT_LOAD_NO_BITMAP.
* docs/CHANGES: Start new chapter wtith this change.

This doubles the number or allowed points, see

Although it is hardly practical to use more than 32767 points,
other font engines seem to support it.

* src/*: Update `FT_Outline` users.
This commit adds support for kerning from 'GPOS' tables, while maintaining
support for basic 'kern' tables. `FT_HAS_KERNING` will be true for a font
with either available and `FT_Get_Kerning` will still use the basic 'kern'
table data if avilable, otherwise check the GPOS 'kern' feature.
This feature is disabled by default; it can be enabled with the
`TT_CONFIG_OPTION_GPOS_KERNING` flag.
Only basic kerning (pair positioning with just an x advance) is supported
from the GPOS layout features; support for that was added to make the
existing `FT_Get_Kerning` API more consistently functional. FreeType does
not intend to extend itself to further GPOS functionality though; a
higher-level library like HarfBuzz can be used instead for that.
* include/freetype/config/ftoption.h, include/devel/ftoption.h
(TT_CONFIG_OPTION_GPOS_KERNING): New configuration option.
* include/freetype/internal/fttrace.h: Add `ttgpos` trace handler.

`get_gpos_kerning` fields.
(FT_DEFINE_SFNT_INTERFACE): Updated.
* include/freetype/internal/tttypes.h: Include `fttypes.h`.
(TT_FaceRec) [TT_CONFIG_OPTION_GPOS_KERNING]: Add `gpos_table` and
`gpos_kerning_available` fields.
* src/sfnt/ttgpos.c, src/sfnt/ttgpos.h: New files.
* src/sfnt/sfdriver.c [TT_CONFIG_OPTION_GPOS_KERNING]: Include `ttgpos.h`.

(sfnt_load_face) [TT_CONFIG_OPTION_GPOS_KERNING]: Load and free GPOS kerning
data; check GPOS kerning availability.
* src/truetype/ttdriver.c (tt_get_kerning): Use GPOS kerning if there's no
'kern' table.
MSBuild.exe can now be fired from the root folder without options.
* builds/windows/vc2010/freetype.sln: Relocated to...

* docs/formats.txt: Clarify the reference of Type1 GX,
and state that this format is not supported. This
is because the content `TYP1' table is not exactly same
with the Type1 font format specification; no eexec
encryption is used. For detail and concrete examples,
see the analysis on:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype/freetype/-/issues/1231
Modern color fonts often contain both an 'SVG' and 'COLR' table. FreeType
always preferred 'SVG' over 'COLR' (this was a design decision), however,
this might not be the right choice for the user. The new flags makes
FreeType ignore the 'SVG' table while loading a glyph.
Fixes#1229.
* include/freetype/freetype.h (FT_LOAD_NO_SVG): New macro.
* src/base/ftobjs.c (FT_Load_Glyph), src/cff/cffgload.c (cff_slot_load),
src/truetype/ttgload.c (TT_Load_Glyph): Use it.
