I really appreciate the great tutorial. It was *very* effective in getting up and running. Stuff like this removes so much of the initial headache in getting started with a new library.
Unfortunately it seems the links embedded in the tutorial to the docs are broken. They try to go to https://freetype.org/freetype2/docs/reference/ft2-base_interface.html#ft_facerec for instance, but 'ft2-base_interface.html' is not a valid path anymore; https://freetype.org/freetype2/docs/reference/ft2-face_creation.html#ft_facerec looks like the intended one. I will happily go and patch up these links myself if I find a moment. Apologies to not be submitting more of a solution now! Thanks! Sol.
