Hi Thibault!
Is your binding more stable that the one currently in the image?
Probably
one idea of esteban was to try what thibault did and enhance it and use
it in place of the FT lib. Now if people could have a look
and let us know it would be great because we are terribly busy.
Many are experiencing recurrent VM crashes because of this.
If your binding is more stable, then you might have a huge impact on all of us.
Cheers,
Alexandre

Hello,
I am happy to announce the release of a new FreeType binding :)
http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~ThibaultRaffaillac/UFFIFreeType
I use it to render glyphs with OpenGL, so a few features are still missing compared
to FT2: gamma-space blitting (should belong to OSWindow?), GlyphForm class, and
subpixel rendering (patch GlyphSlot>>form).
FT_Library startUp: true.
face := FT_Face fromFile: 'Arial.ttf' index: 0.
glyph := face glyph.
face setPixelWidth: 0 height: 12.
face loadChar: $x asUnicode flags: 4.
image := glyph form.
Cheers,
Thibault
