Commit 05eb520 missed some duplicated bits in ass_shaper.c.
<wm4> oh crap
<zgreg> oh crap indeed
Instead of duplicating the logic in ass_shaper.c, just change the
glyphs before they even get into processing. This way, all code
reading the font size etc. is affected. This essentially reverts
commit c207000c, because it's not needed anymore.
This was broken since commit f780146. For reasons why, read the commit
message of that commit. To make it short, we set the font size to
something large and constant (256), and scale the font outlines returned
by freetype to the size we need in order to get smooth animation and
accurate positioning.
Of course, this obviously breaks hinting. Fix hinting by not using the
hack mentioned above if hinting enabled.
To mitigate the issues caused by freetype grid fitting and extremely
bad ASS scripts (such as setting font size to very small values and
scaling them up with \fscx/y), we still adjust the font size such that
the font is never scaled in Y direction (only in X direction, because
the \fscx/y tags can change aspect ratio).

Don't mutate input buffer for ass_read_memory()

This also fixes that the user provided buffer implicitly had to

fontconfig: remove default "lang" setting from patterns
Fontconfig defaults set the "lang" value in patterns, and it then
prefers fonts which are listed as supporting this language. The
default value may not match actual script language, and even a setting
of "en" for English subtitle can cause problems. Remove the "lang"
setting from patterns used to find fonts.
A file had a normal and an oblique version of the same font attached,
with different character set coverage: the normal version lacked some
non-ascii characters that fontconfig includes in its list of
characters required for English support. As a result, the oblique
version was picked for what was supposed to be normal text.
This fixes: {\clip(1,1,20,20)\clip\alpha&H1E&\c&HC7E5C0&}X
libass tries to interpret the second \clip, which has no arguments.
Since the parsing code doesn't require a starting '(', the parser will
skip over the other tags (treating them as junk) and interpret the
numbers that happen to be in the rest of the string. The result is a
bogus drawing command, which happens to rasterize an extremely wide
glyph, which takes several seconds to finish.
Make the '(' required. Neither the aegisub manual nor the vsfilter
source code have any indication that \clip without starting '(' is
allowed, so this should not break anything.

Ignore junk in nested \t tags
Normally, junk between tags is ignored. But unlike vsfilter, libass
doesn't do that inside \t tags. So the following fails and will never
actually switch the color: {\t(1000,1000,(\c&HFF0000&))} (The '(' and
')' are junk, and are not covered by any ASS documentation.)
Instead expecting that the last parameter to \t (the parameter that
takes nested tags) starts with '\', turn it around and assume that the
first parameter that's not a number is the last parameter. (This
parsing is kind of awkward because we don't do any lookahead.)
Likewise, let the nested tag parsing terminate on ')' instead of
checking whether a tag is started with '\'. This allows skipping
junk in the middle of the nested tag, without terminating too early.
(Check '}' and '\0' in case the tag is not properly terminated.)
ass_set_aspect_ratio() is confusing, because it takes a DAR and SAR

shaper: proper script/language handling
Determine script for each character and use this as an additional
property for splitting up the text into runs. Characters of Common
or Inherited script assume the script of the preceding character. If
that is not possible (First character(s) in a run are Common/Inherited,
for instance), a backwards scan is done so they can assume the script
of the following character.
Additionally, determine default language in case no override is
set. This simply maps a language to a script, if a language exists
that is mostly representative for a given script. Pango's mapping
has been adapted.
This helps with fonts that don't have OpenType features set up
for default script/language pairs. It's also considered to be right
approach by most people, and might help with correct OpenType rendering
in some other cases.

see two empty image lists (old - not empty, but cleared, new - empty),

media players which rely on the change detection will keep displaying
the last subtitle until the next subtitle event.

Add ass_set_line_position() API function for subtitle position

MPlayer has such a feature as -sub-pos option using its internal

of the sub to be offset vertically as if it was rendered next to the
previous line (not below).
Patch by Hector Martin <hector@marcansoft.com>, with an additional
correction related to libass issue #46.
Fix issues with shearing in combination with scaling
There are two problems.
First, the shearing tags (\fay and \fax) misbehave when used with
scaling tags (\fscx and \fscy). We have to compensate for the scaling
in either direction when shearing, because the shearing is applied
after scaling. VSFilter, which by definition has the correct behavior,
does it the other way around.
Second, libass doesn't scale smoothly when small font sizes are
involved. These can come either from downscaling (e.g. make the mplayer
window smaller than the video with a video output like gl or vdpau), or
from setting the font size manually. In these cases, the font size
passed to freetype get very low, so that rounding errors or size
adjustments due to hinting or other pixel grid fitting add up. The
result is text rendered in the wrong size, or "pulsating" text if the
font size depends on animated parameters. This is worsened by the
practice found in subtitle scripts to use tag combinations like
"\fscy2500\fs2" to get more precision for controlling font size (needed
because VSFilter doesn't read fractional scale values).
We solve the second issue by always requesting a constant font size
from freetype, and then scaling the resulting glyph to the desired
size. This seems to disable freetype's glyph fitting issue. The caveat
is that it (obviously) also disables hinting, which may result in worse
text quality. However, the combination of applying \fs and \fscx tags,
and animating them, seems to leave no other choice.
The parsing code allowed override tags after \p0 to affect the drawing.
This is incorrect. Finish the drawing object as soon as \p0 is
encountered instead.
This requires moving the code executing the style overrides from
get_next_char() in ass_parse.c to the main render loop in
ass_renderer.c, because we have to re-enter the rendering loop
inside of a tag. The old code was simply executing all tags until
a new character could be returned to the renderer loop, mutating up
the state (RenderContext fields) for the drawing after the drawing
was closed, but before it was rendered.
With \rSTYLE, it is possible to change the border style within the same
subtitle event. You can do this by setting a different BorderStyle value
in the newly requested style. VSFilter handles this as expected, while
libass uses a single border style for the whole subtitle event.
