The Freetype font rasterizer in the Go programming language.
To download and install from source:
go get github.com/goki/freetypeIt is an incomplete port:
- It only supports TrueType fonts, and not Type 1 fonts nor bitmap fonts.
- It only supports the Unicode encoding.
There are also some implementation differences:
- It uses a 26.6 fixed point co-ordinate system everywhere internally, as opposed to the original Freetype's mix of 26.6 (or 10.6 for 16-bit systems) in some places, and 24.8 in the "smooth" rasterizer.
