Summary

Description: Free TrueType font engine
Source: http://www.freetype.org/

Support

This package is available for all platforms. This package is unsupported and provided on an as-is basis.

Description

The FreeType engine is a portable and highly efficient TrueType rendering engine. FreeType is a clean-room implementation that is not derived from the original TrueType engine developed by Apple and Microsoft. It has been created with the sole help of the published TrueType specifications.

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 easy, as demonstrated by the test programs.

Both version 1 and version 2 of the FreeType library are installed.
