FreeType is a software font engine that is designed to be small, efficient, highly customizable, and portable while capable of producing high-quality output (glyph images).
FreeType can be used in display servers, font conversion tools, graphics libraries, text image generation tools, and many other products as well.
Note that FreeType is a font service and doesnt provide APIs to perform higher-level features like text layout or graphics processing (e.g., colored text rendering, ‘hollowing’, etc.). However, it greatly simplifies these tasks by providing a simple, easy to use, and uniform interface to access the content of font files.
By default, FreeType supports the following font formats.
· TrueType fonts (and collections)
· Type 1 fonts
· CID-keyed Type 1 fonts
· CFF fonts
· OpenType fonts (both TrueType and CFF variants)
· SFNT-based bitmap fonts
· X11 PCF fonts
· Windows FNT fonts
· BDF fonts (including anti-aliased ones)
· PFR fonts
· Type 42 fonts (limited support)
NOTE: Freetype is licensed under the terms of the BSD License and GPL License.
Features of "FreeType":
· FreeType provides a simple and easy-to-use API to access font content in a uniform way, independently of the file format. Additionally, some format-specific APIs can be used to access special data in the font file.
· Unlike most comparable libraries, FreeType supports scalable font formats like TrueType or Type 1 natively and can return the outline data (and control instructions/hints) to client applications.
· The design of FreeType is based on modules that can be either linked statically to the library at compile time, or loaded on demand at runtime. Modules are used to support specific font formats, or even new glyph image formats!
· FreeType was written with embedded systems in mind. This means that it doesnt use static writable data (i.e., it can be run from ROM directly), and that client applications can provide their own memory manager and I/O stream implementation.
· The FreeType core API provides simple functions to access advanced information like glyph names or kerning data.
· A full-featured and efficient TrueType bytecode interpreter. The engine is able to produce excellent output at small point sizes. This component has been extremely difficult to get right, due to the ambiguous and misleading TrueType specification. However, we now match Windows and Mac qualities.
· For those who dont need or want to use the bytecode interpreter for TrueType fonts, we developed our own automatic hinter module. It is also used by other scalable formats.
· FreeType provides information that is often not available from other similar font engines, like kerning distances, glyph names, vertical metrics, etc.
Requirements:
·
Changes from previous version
· If the library was compiled on an i386 platform using gcc, and compiler option -O3 was given, `FT_MulFix sometimes returned incorrect results which could have caused problems with `FT_Request_Metrics and `FT_Select_Metrics, returning an incorrect descender size.
· Pure CFFs without subfonts were scaled incorrectly if the font matrix was non-standard. This bug has been introduced in version 2.3.6.
· The `style_name field in the `FT_FaceRec structure often contained a wrong value for Type 1 fonts. This misbehaviour has been introduced in version 2.3.6 while trying to fix another problem. [Note, however, that this value is informative only since the used algorithm to extract it is very simplistic.]
· Two new macros, FT_OUTLINE_SMART_DROPOUTS and FT_OUTLINE_EXCLUDE_STUBS, have been introduced. Together with FT_OUTLINE_IGNORE_DROPOUTS (which was ignored previously) it is now possible to control the dropout mode of the `raster module (for B&W rasterization), using the `flags field in the `FT_Outline structure.
· The TrueType bytecode interpreter now passes the dropout mode to the B&W rasterizer. This greatly increases the output for small ppem values of many fonts like `pala.ttf.
It also includes an editor that allows you to annotate any section of the text you like to keep notes.

Toast 5.2.3 Titanium enables the Buffer Underrun Prevention option for combination DVD+R/RW and DVD-R/RW recorders when using -R/RW media.
Buffer Underrun Prevention is not an option when using +R/RW media, since the recorder uses the built-in error prevention that is part of the +R/RW specification.
This updater is intended to address buffer underrun prevention problems with certain DVD recorders and is not cumulative with the Toast 5.2.1 updater. Roxio recommends that Toast 5.2.1 be applied prior to this update.
Render-Boy is designed to be small and efficient, so it works great on all PowerMacs.
Limitations:
· Unregistered copies of Render-Boy are fully functional, but will display a white X on any renderings you create.
