FreeType 2.13.1
|
||||
===============
|
||||
|
||||
Homepage: https://www.freetype.org
|
||||
|
||||
FreeType is a freely available software library to render fonts.
|
||||
|
||||
It is written in C, designed to be small, efficient, highly
|
||||
customizable, and portable while capable of producing high-quality
|
||||
output (glyph images) of most vector and bitmap font formats.
|
||||
|
||||
Please read the `docs/CHANGES` file, it contains IMPORTANT
|
||||
INFORMATION.
|
||||
|
||||
Read the files `docs/INSTALL*` for installation instructions; see the
|
||||
file `docs/LICENSE.TXT` for the available licenses.
|
||||
|
||||
For using FreeType's git repository instead of a distribution bundle,
|
||||
please read file `README.git`. Note that you have to actually clone
|
||||
the repository; using a snapshot will not work (in other words, don't
|
||||
use gitlab's 'Download' button).
|
||||
|
||||
The FreeType 2 API reference is located in directory `docs/reference`;
|
||||
use the file `index.html` as the top entry point. [Please note that
|
||||
currently the search function for locally installed documentation
|
||||
doesn't work due to cross-site scripting issues.]
|
||||
|
||||
Additional documentation is available as a separate package from our
|
||||
sites. Go to
|
||||
|
||||
https://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/freetype/
|
||||
|
||||
and download one of the following files.
|
||||

||||

|
||||
Mailing Lists
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
The preferred way of communication with the FreeType team is using
|
||||
e-mail lists.
|
||||
|
||||
general use and discussion: freetype@nongnu.org
|
||||
engine internals, porting, etc.: freetype-devel@nongnu.org
|
||||
announcements: freetype-announce@nongnu.org
|
||||
git repository tracker: freetype-commit@nongnu.org
|
||||
|
||||
The lists are moderated; see
|
||||
|
||||
https://www.freetype.org/contact.html
|
||||
|
||||
how to subscribe.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Bugs
|
||||
----
|
||||
|
||||
Please submit bug reports at
|
||||
|
||||
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype/freetype/-/issues
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, you might report bugs by e-mail to
|
||||
`freetype-devel@nongnu.org`. Don't forget to send a detailed
|
||||
explanation of the problem -- there is nothing worse than receiving a
|
||||
terse message that only says 'it doesn't work'.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Patches
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
For larger changes please provide merge requests at
|
||||
|
||||
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype/freetype/-/merge_requests
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, you can send patches to the `freetype-devel@nongnu.org`
|
||||
mailing list -- and thank you in advance for your work on improving
|
||||
FreeType!
|
||||
|
||||
Details on the process can be found here:

repository issues
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
|
||||
FreeType's official repository site is
|
||||
|
||||
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype ,
|
||||
|
||||
from which the 'freetype.git' and 'freetype-demos.git' repositories
|
||||
can be cloned in the usual way.
|
||||
|
||||
git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype/freetype.git
|
||||
git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype/freetype-demos.git
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to use the Savannah mirror instead, you have to do a
|
||||
slightly different incantation because the repository names contain
|
||||
digit '2' for historical reasons.
|
||||
|
||||
git clone \
|
||||
https://git.savannah.nongnu.org/git/freetype/freetype2.git \
|
||||
freetype
|
||||
git clone \
|
||||

|
||||
freetype-demos
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
standard builds with `configure`
|
||||
--------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The git repository doesn't contain pre-built configuration scripts for
|
||||
UNIXish platforms. To generate them say
|
||||
|
||||
sh autogen.sh
|
||||
|
||||
which in turn depends on the following packages:
|
||||
|
||||
automake (1.10.1)
|
||||
libtool (2.2.4)
|
||||
autoconf (2.62)
|
||||
|
||||
The versions given in parentheses are known to work. Newer versions
|
||||
should work too, of course. Note that `autogen.sh` also sets up
|
||||
proper file permissions for the `configure` and auxiliary scripts.
|
||||
|
||||
The `autogen.sh` script checks whether the versions of the above three
|
||||
tools match the numbers above. Otherwise it will complain and suggest
|
||||
either upgrading or using environment variables to point to more
|
||||
recent versions of the required tools.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that `aclocal` is provided by the 'automake' package on Linux,
|
||||
and that `libtoolize` is called `glibtoolize` on Darwin (OS X).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
alternative build methods
|
||||
-------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
For static builds that don't use platform-specific optimizations, no
|
||||
configure script is necessary at all; saying
|
||||
|
||||
make setup ansi
|
||||
make
|
||||
|
||||
should work on all platforms that have GNU `make` (or `makepp`).
|
||||
|
||||
A build with `cmake` or `meson` can be done directly from the git
|
||||
repository. However, if you want to use the `FT_DEBUG_LOGGING` macro
|
||||
(see file `docs/DEBUG` for more information) it is currently mandatory
|
||||
to execute `autogen.sh` in advance; this script clones the 'dlg' git
|
||||
submodule and copies some files into FreeType's source tree.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
