freetype_load_flags = "DEFAULT"

Since: Version 20210314-114017-04b7cedd

The feature described in this section requires version 20210314-114017-04b7cedd of wezterm, or a more recent version.

An advanced option to fine tune the freetype rasterizer. This is a bitfield, so you can combine one or more of these options together, separated by the | character, although not many of the available options necessarily make sense to be combined.

Available flags are:

  • DEFAULT - This is the default!
  • NO_HINTING - Disable hinting. This generally generates ‘blurrier’ bitmap glyph when the glyph is rendered in any of the anti-aliased modes.
  • NO_BITMAP - don't load any pre-rendered bitmap strikes
  • FORCE_AUTOHINT - Use the freetype auto-hinter rather than the font's native hinter.
  • MONOCHROME - instructs renderer to use 1-bit monochrome rendering. This option doesn't impact the hinter.
  • NO_AUTOHINT - don't use the freetype auto-hinter
-- You probably don't want to do this, but this demonstrates
-- that the flags can be combined
