Hello, I'm a freetype user rather than freetype dev. I've ported FreeType to RT-Thread which is a embedded RTOS( https://github.com/RT-Thread/rt-thread ). So I would like to share some experiences with you.

Besides, for embedded programming, you are likely to have to cross-compiling, which means that you cannot just use the lib in your Desktop OS on the board. IMHO, you should manually add the freetype source files to your project in Keil/CooCox. You can get some hints in docs/INSTALL.ANY of the source tarball how to compile it. -- Cheers, Grissiom
