| This is a port of the Freetype font rasterizer (www.freetype.org) to the Go |
| programming language (golang.org). |
| |
| To download and install from source: |
| $ go get code.google.com/p/freetype-go/freetype |
| |
| It is an incomplete port: |
| * It only supports TrueType fonts, and not Type 1 fonts nor bitmap fonts. |
| * It only supports the Unicode encoding. |
| |
| There are also some implementation differences: |
| * It uses a 24.8 fixed point co-ordinate system everywhere internally, |
| as opposed to the original Freetype's mix of 26.6 (or 10.6 for 16-bit |
| systems) in some places, and 24.8 in the "smooth" rasterizer. |
