Welcome to the documentation directory of FreeType.
Here are short overview where you can find which information.
apiref.txt FreeType high-level API reference. All the types,
functions, and error codes of FreeType.
..................................................................
apirefx.txt The API reference of FreeType extensions which come
with the library itself.
..................................................................
bitmaps.txt How to render a glyph outline into a bitmap.
..................................................................
changes.txt Guess what :-)
..................................................................
convntns.txt The FreeType developer's conventions guide. Lists
the design and coding conventions used in the
engine's source code. This file is incomplete but
contains information that should be read by any
person willing to hack the FreeType code.
..................................................................
credits A list of persons who have contributed to FreeType.
..................................................................
glyphs.htm An introduction to glyphs in general, its usage in
glyphs.txt TrueType, and how FreeType handles them. The file
`glyphs.txt' is a simple text dump (done with
Netscape) of glyphs.htm.
..................................................................
i18n.txt A short introduction to the GNU gettext package.
..................................................................
porting.txt The FreeType porting guide. All you need to
configure and adapt very easily FreeType's source
code to tailor it to your own platform.
Learn how to provide your own memory, i/o, and mutex
components, optimally fitted to your system. See
how you can build a singly-threaded, thread-safe, or
re-entrant version of the engine from the same
source code!
..................................................................
raster.txt The scan-line converter's internals explained. The
document is still incomplete but presents many key
concepts.
..................................................................
threads.txt How to use threads with FreeType.
..................................................................
user.txt FreeType's user guide. A guide to FreeType's
concepts, a step by step example, and a note about
future works and projects.
..................................................................
FAQ The new up-to-date FreeType FAQ. Look here first if
you have problems with the library.
..................................................................
TODO Things which probably will come, which would be nice
to have, problems still here, etc.
These documents were scheduled, but will probably never come...
develop.txt The FreeType developer's guide. All you need to know
in order to be able to understand and even hack the
engine's core source code.
extend.txt The FreeType extension writer's how-to. All you need
to be able to provide new extensions to the engine.
undoc.txt Undocumented TrueType!
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the TrueType
specification is fuzzy and misleading enough to
disband some serious commercial developers, but that
wasn't enough for us. Even though it took some time
(aaargh...), we finally discovered through hard work
the real meanings of the specs, fixed some errors
and even found surprising undocumented behaviour or
features!
