uMagNUS-freetype

This is a port of the Freetype font rasterizer (www.freetype.org) to the Go programming language (golang.org).

To download and install from source: $ go get code.google.com/p/freetype-go/freetype

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://code.google.com/p/freetype-go/
