9 June 2014: This repository is way out of date, don't use this code. Use the actual freetype-go project. This is a minor fork of the actual freetype-go project, the website of which is given below. Unless you explicitly want to make use of my minor changes, then you should use the version hosted there. The original README follows: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a port of the Freetype font rasterizer (www.freetype.org) to the Go programming language (golang.org). It 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 24.8 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. Freetype-Go is derived from Freetype, which is written in C. Freetype is copyright 1996-2010 David Turner, Robert Wilhelm, and Werner Lemberg. Freetype-Go is copyright The Freetype-Go Authors, who are listed in the AUTHORS file. The Freetype-Go homepage is http://github.com/starchou/freetype-go/
