	Freetype - Free Standards Group
		FreeType 2 is a software font engine that is designed to be small, efficient, highly customizable and portable while capable of producing high-quality output (glyph images).
		From a given glyph outline, FreeType 2 is capable of producing a high-quality monochrome bitmap, or anti-aliased pixmap, using 256 levels of "gray".
		FreeType 2 is written in industry-standard ANSI C and should compile easily with any compliant C compiler with no warnings.
	www.freestandards.org /en/Freetype?highlight=MulFix (762 words)

	[No title]
		FreeType is written in pure ANSI C and should compile well on all 16, 32, and 64 bits processors.
		FreeType can use every charmap found in a font file, so it is up to your application to choose the one that fits its task best.
		FreeType 1.0, and later releases, come with an an alternate license, inspired from the BSD, Artistic, and IJG's (Independent JPEG Group) ones.

	FreeType 2 FAQ
		The FreeType 2 renderer is optimized specifically for rendering small complex shapes, like glyphs, at very high speed while using very few memory; while libArt shines at general shape/polygon processing, especially large ones.
		FreeType 1 comes with a set of extensions that are used to load and manage OpenType Layout tables.
		For FreeType 2, we have decided that the layout operations provided through these tables are better placed in a specific text-layout library, (many people having asked for such a thing).

	FreeType - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		FreeType is a font service and doesn't provide APIs to perform higher-level features, like text layout or graphics processing (e.g., colored text rendering, "hollowing", etc.).
		As of May 2006, the latest version of FreeType is FreeType 2.2.1, which supports an assortment of font formats, including TrueType, Type 1, and OpenType.
		FreeType is released under two free-source licenses: the GNU General Public License or a license similar to the original BSD license (with the advertising clause).

	freetype_tut: Tutorial on using FreeType Fonts in OpenGL
		FreeType is the same library that Blizzard uses to render the fonts in their games, so you know it has to be good!
		You can see that there are a fair number of gray pixels around the edges of the text, this is the typical of an anti-aliased font, the gray pixels make the font look smoother from a distance.
		FreeType uses truetype fonts, so you will want to find yourself some truetype font files to feed into this function.

	An Xft (and FreeType) Hack
		These modifications of Xft and FreeType attempt to improve the quality of on-screen antialiased fonts in KDE and other applications or environments that make use these libraries.
		Hinting is supposed to be a way to sharpen antialiased text, but the freetype hinter still needs a good bit of work, and at this point, it's my opinion that fonts look much better without it.
		Any praise should generally be directed to the folks at freetype and the author of Xft and XRender, Keith Packard.

	FONT::FT2 - Perl extension for FreeType 2
		This is a set of subroutine for using Freetype 2 from Perl.
		$char_height = the height of the characters to produce (in freetype units, 0x10000 is safe) $char_width = the width of the characters to produce (in freetype units, 0x10000 is safe) @chars = an of char codes to produce.
		Because, bitmaps returns by Freetype 2 are multiples of 8 in width.

	Fonts for FreeType
		FreeType is a very flexible, compact font software engine that supports all the popular font formats including: bitmap, Type 1, TrueType®; and OpenType®;.
		FreeType was developed in ANSI C for use with standard C compilers, and integrates well with graphics libraries and text layout engines such as ICU and Pango.
		FreeType is being continuously enhanced and is currently available as version 2.

	FreeType 2 Tutorial
		FreeType 2 uses size objects to model all information related to a given character size for a given face.
		The advance vector is expressed in 1/64th of pixels, and is truncated to integer pixels on each iteration.
		In FreeType, glyph images are always loaded, transformed, and described in the cartesian coordinate system (which means that increasing Y corresponds to upper scanlines), unlike the system typically used for bitmaps (where the top-most scanline has coordinate 0).

	FreeType-2.1.8 API Reference
		As ft_pixel_mode_pal2, pal4 and pal8 are currently unused by FreeType, these types are not handled by the library itself.
		Note that this version of FreeType only supports two image formats, even though future font drivers will be able to register their own format.
		It can be used to store a pointer to client-specific data, as well as the address of a `finalizer' function, which will be called by FreeType when the object is destroyed (for example, the previous client example would put the address of the glyph cache destructor in the `finalizer' field).

	FreeType 2 Overview (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The design of FreeType 2 is based on modules that can be either linked statically to the library at compile time, or loaded on demand at runtime.
		It is also capable of automatically synthetizing a Unicode charmap from Type 1 fonts, which puts an end to the painful ‘encoding translation’ headache common with this format (of course, original encodings are also available in the case where you need them).
		FreeType 2 is written in industry-standard ANSI C and should compile easily with any compliant C compiler.

	[No title]
		FreeType can now load "broken" fonts that were usable on Windows, but not with previous versions of the library.
		This is used to ease the porting of FreeType 2 to exotic runtime environments where the ISO C Library isn't available (e.g.
		FreeType _is_ becoming a critical system component on Linux :-) - Fixed a memory leak in the CFF font driver.

	Using FreeType to change the default font in your Sony Ericsson smartphone (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		It's possible to change the default font for your P800/P900/P910 smartphone by using the FreeType component library in Symbian OS C++.
		To use FreeType, some true type fonts have to be installed on the phone.
		After the installation of FreeType, and the copying of the ttf files, restart the phone to activate the new installations.

	LSB-Futures Tracker - freetype
		FreeType 2 is released under two open-source licenses: its own BSD-like FreeType License and the GPL.
		http://freetype.sourceforge.net/patents.html clearly states that Freetype 2 is NOT affected by any patents, hence there is no hindrance legally or in licensing.
		Freetype 1 provides libttf.so, similar functions but is not used upstream by fontconfig or other applications (due to patent issues related to its bytecode parser.) Other possible candidates like GL_ttf, SDL_ttf have themselves been deprecated by "freetype".

	Blog for freetype
		I'm comparing FreeType 2.1.9 and FreeType CVS, with memory-mapped files, which are used by default by FT2 when compiled on Unix platforms that support them.
		It is clear that I had very little time for FreeType this year, and was mostly absent from the mailing list during this period.
		I have already announced to the FreeType mailing lists that it may be a good idea to find a new commited guru for the project, since "retirement" is a serious option for me right now.

		Since you have read HOWTO: How to create rpmbuild directory and have an RPM building environment all set up, let's put it to use.
		We'll use a popular example by re-compiling the src.rpm file for Freetype so that the normally disabled bytecode interpreter is re-enabled, providing better-looking font rendering for your viewing pleasure.
		Setting to 0 enables # the bytecode interpreter in both freetype 1 and 2.

	FreeType and Patents (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		However, the source code for the bytecode interpreter is still available and can be toggled on at compile time, for those that want to use it anyway (because they purchased a license from Apple, or because they are in a country where the patents do not apply, etc.).
		It further means that in the event where you need to update the version of FreeType installed on your system from our sources, you should better manually activate the bytecode interpreter at compile time in order to prevent any loss of quality.
		Some of these products use either FreeType 1.x or 2.x with the bytecode interpreter enabled, through the payment of a license to Apple Computer, Inc. Don't forget that you have to pay this fee anyway, though indirectly, if you use any other font engine that supports native TrueType hinting (e.g., BitStream's FontFusion).

		At any rate, FreeType uses a 32 bit value to store it's character codes, so support is possible.
		Whether or not FreeType-compatible fonts are available for the whole range is another question.

	[ENH] Anti-aliasing type support & FreeType 2.0 beta plugin (very beta)
		Running out of memory may yield strange errors from FreeType, like 'Bad file format specified', or fonts with blank characters.
		This is not such a dramatic setback, really, since you only need to load the font via FreeType once, then you can save the image or export the result.
		I think this is an issue in FreeType (2.0?) itself, in its grid-fitting and antialiasing.

	Freetype binary incompatibility
		It appears that the Freetype library shipped with XFree86 4.2 is binary incompatible with what shipped with 4.3 and the top of tree.
		Freetype includes a compatibility API in xc/extras/freetype2/src/base/ftapi.c but this is not included in the XFree86 build of Freetype.
		Mac OS X is perhaps different in that XFree86's version of Freetype is the de facto standard and other versions of Freetype are often not present.
