Re-2: [ft] Different Values from Freetype Face

[Andreas Heinrich]

Hello,

 

2-a would be appreciated for me, too.

 

the add-on isn't urgent for me at the moment, so that is no problem for me when the

changes will be integrated after next official release.

 

Regards,

Andreas

 

 

 

 

Dear Werner,

Yesterday I got a comment from Andreas Heinrich (the
original reporter of this issue), he preferred 2),
especially 2-b). Still I feel small hesitate to modify
FT_Library object without a comment from Turner, so
I will commit 2-a) for first (within 36 hours, I hope),
and commit 2-b) after next official release, freetype-2.3.12.
I want to avoid a pity that new function is introduced
in 2.3.12 and removed in 2.3.13.

Thank you for reasonable comment. For future compatibility,
generic name would be better.

In fact, after writing the patch proposing 2-b), I found
another case that I want to hold something in FT_Library.
I will post another discussion about it. It is not for
2.3.12 release.
