The reason - is simple: to demonstrate a simple API extension with - `ftxgasp'! - - ftxkern: This engine extension is used to access kerning data, - when available in a font file. Note that it implements - on-the-fly loading and retrieving of kerning tables. - However, it doesn't interpret or process the data, and - client applications should use it according to the - TrueType specification. - - ftxpost: An engine extension to load the PostScript glyph names - of the `post' table. See the `ftzoom' program for an - example how to use it. - - ftxwidth: A simple extension used to load the widths and heights - of a given range of glyphs in a face. Results are - expressed in unscaled font units. This is required by - the latest version of the FreeType/2 DLL to speed up - font loading in the GRE (the OS/2 GRaphics Engine). It - can be used by other applications though... - - ftxerr18: This extension simply converts a TrueType engine error - code into a corresponding string describing the error. - It is useful if you intend to write a package for end - users and want to give them not `Error code 135' but - `OS/2 table missing'. See docs/errstr.txt for a - description how to use it (really simple!). ftxerr18 - supports localization of error strings (that is: error - strings are automatically translated into supported - languages) using gettext(). See docs/i18n.txt about - using gettext. - - ftxsbit: Embedded bitmap support. This is an engine extension. - See e.g. the `ftstrtto' program for its usage. - - ftxopen, - ftxgsub, - ftxgpos, - ftxgdef: This is experimental stuff for TrueType Open support! - Please ignore it or help debugging :-) - - ---- END --- |
