freetype for Windows (original) (raw)
FreeType: font engine and rasterizer
Version
2.3.5
Description
FreeType 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). It can be used in graphics libraries, display servers, font conversion tools, text image generation tools, and many other products as well.
Note that 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.). However, it greatly simplifies these tasks by providing a simple, easy to use and uniform interface to access the content of font files.
- FreeType1 is in freetype-1.0
- FreeType2 is in freetype-1.1 / 1.4
- FreeType6 is in freetype-2.0.1 and higher
