Please could someone point me to where I can obtain a precompiled Win32 dll for FreeType V2.4.3?

Thank you very much

Tom

[ft] UVS support in freetype-2.4.x is broken under legacy-compatible configuration

Dear all,

I apologize that UVS support of freetype-2.4.x is broken under
legacy-compatible configuration (it's default configuration for
'configure && make && make install'-ed binary).

The bug causes a crash by NULL pointer dereference in UVS
support functions, but I think it is not exploitable bug.
Even if a malicious font is given, the client won't be
crashed by this bug, as far as the client does not call UVS
support functions.

It is already fixed in latest revision on GIT. The detailed
analysis and the patch (applicable to all revisions since
the bug was introduced) is available from savannah bugzilla:

Regards,
mpsuzuki

[ft] FreeType 2.4.3 DLL

Hello

I am looking for a built Win32 dll of FreeType V2.4.3. I can pay 50 USD via PayPal if someone could build this for me.

Apologies for posting twice - I could successfully build it as a .lib static library, but no success trying to build as a .dll. There are features in this latest version that are essential to an app I am trying to release.

Thank you

Tom

Re: [ft] FreeType 2.4.3 DLL

I uploaded the latest freetype2 on GIT repository which
is cross-compiled by "./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc
--build=i386-pc-linux-gnu --prefix=/cygdrive/c/freetype2" at

  http://sourceforge.net/projects/ttf2ttc/files/freetype2-binaries/mingw32/freetype-2.4.3_20101105.zip/download

I don't know if it works with your (or any other)
application. All I did was just cross compilation.

Regards,
mpsuzuki

Re: [ft] FreeType 2.4.3 DLL

Thank you mpsuzuki

Just tested in my app and it is working perfectly.

The issue I was experiencing on the older FreeType I was using is that .otf files were not being recognised.

The version you uploaded has fixed the problem.

Thank you very much - your help is much appreciated.

Tom

[ft] Python bindings

I wanted to let people know that I picked up Ryan Coyner's Python freetype2 bindings and pushed them forward quite a bit. It doesn't have complete coverage of freetype2 yet, but the main functionality is accessible and functional.


The binding is written in pure Python with ctypes and so has no dependencies.  In order to enable people to work directly from the freetype2 documentation, it doesn't try to make the interface particularly Pythonic.  As a result, you'll need to know something about ctypes to use it effectively.

I haven't yet verified it on Windows but that should come along fairly soon.

The freetype tutorials have been ported and are included in the test/ directory.

The project is hosted on github at https://github.com/leovitch/python-ft2 and it would be great to have some other folks using it.  

Leo

[ft] Android Bytecode interpreter

Hi,

I'm unable to enable the bytecode interpreter on Android. It builds without errors after enabling the flag in ftoption.h, but the rendered text doesn't seem to use any hinting. (It looks the same as with Bytecode interpreter off, and much worse than on Ubuntu with full hinting.) I've tried with different fonts including Verdana, which I believe contains hinting instructions.

Should I do something else to enable it?

Thanks,
Aravind.

[ft] Freetype license query

Hi

I am little confused if I can legally use Freetype under the two
licenses it is released under.

I have an LGPL library (Version 3) in which I would like to use Freetype.
Can I link to freetype and still distribute my library as a binary ?

Is this true just for dynamic lining or statically as well ?

Thanks

Glenn

Good question.  I don't know.  The question is whether the FreeType
License (FTL) is compatible with the LGPL.  Perhaps people from the
FSF can help you.  If you get any results please post them here.
