Okay, I will have some free time this weekend and I will attempt to get all the
vm instructions decoded. Right now its more architectural than anything else,
but I am making fast progress. I have most of the important tables decoded.
I am going to dodge the obvious things like hinting etc. for now, and hopefully
someone with typography experience joins later on.
I am really hoping I will have something working on top of system.drawing by
monday, even if its doesn't come out just right.
This weekend is going to be busy :).

I would be interested in knowing how complete or incomplete this is. I agree
that a complete rewrite would be a better idea, I'm just surprised that
somebody is actually attempting it.

Subject: Re: [SharpOS Developers] Freetype
I don't have time to hash out a long email now but I have been working on
porting freetype to c#.
I am going to run it off system.drawing so that it will drop in when that is
complete.
Quick status: started decoding the instructions, reminds me of msil decoding
:), albiet horrific documentation.
I don't think anyone would be too hot on just compiling freetype as is, it
wasn't architected with the .net paradigms/practices/styles in mind. It will be
like using mogre (anyone used it? it hurts to write code like that).
Not to mention [I assume] most of the coders around here don't use c++ that
much :). I will see about dropping my code in a repo when it gets a bit more
feature complete.
Email me direct if you want a zip of what I have so far.
