Re: GSOC 2024 - Proposal

2024-04-02 Thread Werner LEMBERG

Hello Mahaveer,


thanks for your proposal.  However, can you please tell us what
exactly you want to improve?  FreeType is a glyph rendering library;
usually, it takes a *glyph index* (and not a Unicode character) as an
input and returns a bitmap rendering of a glyph's outline.  Handling
Unicode-encoded input strings *must* be done in a higher-level library
like 'HarfBuzz' – we are definitely not going to add such
capabilities.

Only a very small part, namely the auto-hinter, processes a font's
Unicode character map table to gather more knowledge for hinting
glyphs.  Improving this part was a GSoC project of the last year (see
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype/freetype/-/merge_requests/316)

Proposal for Integrate ftbench into FreeType's build structure - GSoC 2024

2024-04-02 Thread Ahmet Göksu
Hello Again,
Last year, I was contributor of the project: Integrating ftbench into 
FreeType's build structure. I integrated the related benchmarking code into 
build system and produced results page successfully. However, the produced 
results had no meaning. This year, I want to work on this case to improve it. 
You can find my proposal at attachments. I am sorry for being late for asking 
feedback. I would be glad if it is possible.

Best,
Goksu
