Hello not a pressure issue, but i would like to have VF driver. A Summer of Code task has begun, never finished, though.
about build system, i would say meson only for Windows, Linux, BSD* and Solaris, and no change for the other OS. That would simplify the build system. are Jamfiles really useful these days ? In addition, having a lot of build system is a pain to have them always up to date best regards Vincent Torri On Fri, Apr 24, 2020 at 10:02 PM David Turner <da...@freetype.org> wrote: > > Hello freetype-devel@ list members, > > It's been a very very long time, but I have some free time in the coming > weeks to work on FreeType.
