Folks,
GSoC 2023 is over; a few days ago the last project has finished – all FreeType students have passed :-) We had three projects: * Ahmet's code to improve 'ftbench' so that it can emit benchmarking test reports: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype/freetype/-/tree/gsoc-2023-ahmet-final * Anurag's code to port 'font-rs', an alternative rendering engine, to FreeType and compare it to the built-in rasterizer; and to convert some parts of FreeType's documentation to Markdown https://docs.google.com/document/d/14me6L4HEMnjBVFwOCjaBayRjQym-WK_RQuOJt7A3pCY/edit https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype/freetype/-/tree/gsoc-anurag-2023-final https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype/freetype/-/tree/gsoc-anurag-2023-docs-final * Craig's auto-hinter code to implement a 'capabilities database' so that glyphs like the 'tilde' accent stay legible at smaller sizes: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype/freetype/-/tree/gsoc-craig-2023-final I want to say thank you to Ahmet, Anurag, and Craig – it's great to have people like you who want to help improve FreeType – and wish you all the best for your future careers!
