FreeType/2 is an OS/2 TrueType Font Driver DLL based on the FreeType
engine. It replaces IBM's TRUETYPE.DLL in Warp 4, but it can be
installed on older versions of OS/2 also.
Some features of FreeType/2:
- Seamless integration with OS/2. You almost don't
know it's there!
- Supports outlines for further glyph manipulation
- Supports national characters (if provided in the
font). Tested only with Latin 2 languages so far
- Works fine with older releases of OS/2. Tested on
Warp 3 and OS/2 2.1
- It's free
- And last but not least, it renders fonts better
than the IBM engine!
See the FreeType/2 web site for more information:
http://www.physiol.med.tu-muenchen.de/~robert/ft-html/ft_os2/index.html
It isn't currently available but it will be released soon.
