Re: [ft] Slim down FreeType2

Mh I just found out, the rasterizer has a define to run as standalone - that would be exactly what I need. But the source is still very big and I can't find the main function to raster someting..

So, how do I use the standalone rasterizer?

Sorry, I don't know good tutorial or easy-to-read source codes
to understand how to "incorporate" FT2 into other projects.

Does anybody know a simple software that had incorporated FT2
with its sources? I know only Ghostscript, but old FT1, not FT2,
and the source is too complex to use as a tutorial.

Thanks,

but.. I'd like to slim down the lib to only a few cpp and header
files, so I can include it in my project directly.. I don't want to
create a library that I have to link to.. (because I'd have to compile
this lib for any platform I am developing on)

Or else if this is not possible so easy... I have written a TTF-File
reader myself, so I am able to read all the glyph data etc I need,
only thing I am missing is the Rasterizer... so, is it somehow
possible to just take the rasterizer of FreeType? (Would be my
preferred solution btw)

Please check docs/CUSTOMIZE. Editing modules.cfg would be easy.

Hi,

as far as I know, FreeType2 is built up in different modules, so I
could remove everything I don't need, right?
I have written my own Managment system for the fonts etc.. so all I
need is the rasterized bitmap for a given unicode character and the
measurements (Advance, Bearing etc) for it.

All FreeType functions I use in my code are:

FT_Init_FreeType
FT_New_Face
FT_Set_Pixel_Sizes
FT_Load_Char

Together with these variables:

FT_Library
FT_GlyphSlot
FT_Bitmap
FT_Face

And I need only support for TrueType Fonts (*.ttf or *.otf).

But I don't know what I can remove and what is needed..
In the src-directory are a lot of sub-directorys.. which one are
needed for what I want to do?
And if I remove them, how do I tell FreeType that I removed some of
the modules so I don't get compile-errors?

Thanks,
Aya
