| Size | 4289439 | The FreeType engine is a free and portable TrueType font rendering
engine. It has been developed to provide TrueType support to a
great variety of platforms and environments.
Note that FreeType is a *library*. It is not a font server for your
favorite platform, even though it was designed to be used in many of
them. Note also that it is *not* a complete text-rendering library.
Its purpose is simply to open and manage font files, as well as
load, hint and render individual glyphs efficiently. You can also
see it as a "TrueType driver" for a higher-level library, though
rendering text with it is extremely easy, as demo-ed by the test
programs.
This package contains all supplementary files you need to develop
your own programs using the FreeType engine. |
