Re: [SharpOS Developers] Freetype

[Maciej Jagiello]

If we get it to compile targeting cli:pure we can try decompiling it to c#, so it could be of some help in porting. But I fear it won't work too well... Btw the FreeType's license is original-with-advertising-clause-BSD-like (GPL incompatible) dual-licensed with GPLv2 (Linux someone? ;)). Is it possible to apply our GPL w/ CPE if we port it? Anyway, I have started TrueType loading. I attached what I have so far as archive if you want to take a look or continue working on it. Note there's no license header attached yet and there's some code from a Java LGPLed TTF editor in it! I can identify those parts later on if needed.

ps. Apple's patents for ttf hinting are expiring in a year, am I wrong?
What a complicated world we live in, mattaku... :D

I'm new here so I don't know the status of the project too well. Have any of you tried to compile Freetype to MSIL? I've spent a couple of hours and had some amount of success. I don't know what to do about the calls to setjmpor longjmpso I've just dummied those out. After that I get about 15 unresolved externals that I'm struggling with. Its been a while since I looked at c++, I've been a c# man for a number of years now. Would anybody be interested in looking at what I have so far? If you are not the intended addressee, please inform us immediately that you have received this e-mail in error, and delete it. We thank you for your cooperation.
