FreeType is a programming library for the displaying of vector-based computer fonts.
Fonts in the TrueType format as well as in the Postscript-Type 1 and -Type 2 (CFF) formats are stored as outlines. These outlines are filled with a number of pixels, dependent on the size and resolution, when displayed on screen and printed. This is exactly what a so-called rasterizer such as FreeType does. It supports a number of different formats, including OpenType. |
