A hosting of the font2openvg library developed by the dissolved Hybrid Graphics, Ltd.

font2openvg

Alongside other large firms such as Sun Microsystems and Nokia, Hybrid Graphics, Ltd. was one of the initial OpenVG group members, when the OpenVG group was formed in 2004.

font2openvg is a library developed by Hybrid for converting TrueType font files into OpenVG API instruction procedures, so that fonts can be embedded into OpenVG applications.

Hybrid was acquired by NVIDIA Corporation in 2006. The library is useful for embedding fonts into OpenVG applications, but searching online for the original code reveals that it can only be found as a dependency embedded within larger applications.

This repository is a re-upload of the original font2openvg library. The rights to ownership still belong to the original authors, as stated in the license information.
