Currently the research aim is to create a driver module for METAFONT. After this driver module the main target is to create a new font language that will overcome the deficiencies of METAFONT i.e METAFONT converted to a new programmable font language that will be much faster than it, covering all its deficiencies. As the advantage of METAFONT of generating multiple styles with just changing the parameters of functions can be very helpful.
P.S. A FreeType plug in module is also under consideration that will mainly focus on adding the external functionalities inside Freetype. Its concept is like a bridge that with configure, manage, and connect the external functionalities to the inner core of Freetype. Functionalities can be driver modules or helping modules. This module can help in adding other driver modules which are currently not supported in Freetype. So, for this purpose i need to understand the complete flow of Freetype source :) On Thu, Aug 3, 2017 at 2:32 PM, Werner LEMBERG <[email protected]> wrote: > > What you *really* want is to find out how FreeType is doing that so > > that you can write your own stuff, right? > > > > Yes i want to write my own stuff for Freetype, adding a new driver > > module more specifically. > > Please give more details.
