1- What compiler(s) would you say FreeType is compatible with? We are flexible enough to change compilers. FreeType is written in ANSI C, so basically all compilers should work. The problem is with compilers which are less than ANSI C... 2- Aside from scaling fonts at run time, what

2012-01-17 Thread Werner LEMBERG
Are you willing to do the work to make sure no FreeType contributor currently has a patent on code they have contributed? This should be doable, given that there are just a handful of contributors who added longer, non-trivial stuff. Werner
