The TrueTypeHints system parameter controls how the RIP behaves when there are faults in a TrueType font hinting program:
| Causes bad hinting to raise a |
| Causes bad hinting to be ignored—the individual glyph or font affected will be unhinted, but other fonts unaffected. |
| Is the same as |
| Switches off all TrueType hinting (not recommended). |
For example, to switch on silent handling of any TrueType hinting errors, use:
currentglobal true setglobal
<</TrueTypeHints /Silent>>setsystemparams setglobal
The default for this parameter has been changed to /Safe
. This means that jobs containing TrueType fonts with broken hinting programs will render, instead of failing with invalidfont
.
If invalidfont
is required in these circumstances, /TrueTypeHints
must be set to /Check
. Warnings can be suppressed by setting it to /Silent
.
Default: /Safe
