[WarpCast] FreeType/2 TrueType font driver - 1/26/98 |
The most important thing you can do to support OS/2, you can do in the next 5 minutes See http://www.bestofos2.com --------------------------- WarpCast ------------------------- Source: Loren Bandiera (http://www.os2ss.com/news/) Moderator: Chris Wenham (chris@os2ezine.com) --------------------------------------------------- FreeType/2 is an OS/2 TrueType Font Driver DLL based on the FreeType engine. It replaces IBM's TRUETYPE.DLL in Warp 4, but it can be installed on older versions of OS/2 also. Some features of FreeType/2: - Seamless integration with OS/2. You almost don't know it's there! - Supports outlines for further glyph manipulation - Supports national characters (if provided in the font). Tested only with Latin 2 languages so far - Works fine with older releases of OS/2. Tested on Warp 3 and OS/2 2.1 - It's free - And last but not least, it renders fonts better than the IBM engine! See the FreeType/2 web site for more information: http://www.physiol.med.tu-muenchen.de/~robert/ft-html/ft_os2/index.html It isn't currently available but it will be released soon.
