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 26.6 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.
