Subject: [9fans] ttf2subf (again)
Date: Tue, 12 Aug 2003 10:13:50 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0308121005480.7480-100000@fbsd.cpsc.ucalgary.ca> (raw)

Luchezar Ionkov has ported freetype to plan9 and has a working ttf2subf
conversion utility. The end result is that we now have antialiased fonts in
Plan 9.

download the utility and some pre-converted fonts (under the XFree86
license) here:

also available are screenshots at the bottom of the page. i've put a gif of
one of the screenshots, in case you're unable to view the png's under
Plan 9 (png(1) is buggy):

yes, we are aware of the fact that Charles Forsyth has done ttf2subf long
time ago, but that code never made it out and we have no idea whether it
did antialiased fonts (reasonable assumption is that it did)...
