| This package is actually two packages: freetype and harfbuzz. To circumvent |
|
||
| the circular dependency between them, they have been merged together. |

FreeType is a popular software development library used to render text onto
|
||
bitmaps, and provides support for other font-related operations. The FreeType
|
||
font rasterization engine is free and open-source software with the source code
|
||
dual-licensed under a BSD-like license and the GPL. FreeType supports a number
|
||
of font formats, including TrueType, Type 1, and OpenType and "is designed to
|
||
be small, efficient, highly customizable, and portable while capable of
|
||
producing high-quality output (glyph images)." [0]
|
||
|
||
HarfBuzz is a software development library for text shaping, which is the
|
||
process of converting Unicode text to glyph indices and positions. The newer
|
||
version, New HarfBuzz (2012–), targets various font technologies while the first
|
||
version, Old HarfBuzz (2006–2012), targeted only OpenType fonts. [1]
