PS.
Please call it FreeType.
Although the Freetype plugin (the interface to, and user of, you call TrueType)
supports using TrueType fonts, it would be nice to be able to disambiguate it
from the TrueType-Fonts/Support packages, which is something different entirely:
- Parser for TT-files in Smalltak, which is kind of cool. F.ex. I had a hard
time deciphering the values given by the FreeType plugin primitives (at least
without RTF external Manual), TTFontReader made getting understandable values
directly from the font file easy :)
- Glyph renderer using Balloon, which is not that cool as the resulting
graphics are too weak.
Cheers,
Henry
