7 This project provides a library which takes a TrueType font as the input,
8 removes its bytecode instructions (if any), and returns a new font where all
9 glyphs are bytecode hinted using the information given by FreeType's
10 autohinting module. The idea is to provide the excellent quality of the
11 autohinter on platforms which don't use FreeType.
13 The library has a single API function, `TTF_autohint'; see
14 `lib/ttfautohint.h' for a detailed description. Note that the library
15 itself won't get installed currently.
17 A command-line interface to the library is the `ttfautohint' program; after
18 compilation and installation, say
22 for usage information, or say
26 to read its manual page.
28 A GUI to the library is `ttfautohintGUI'; it uses the Qt4 framework. The
29 compilation of this application can be disabled with the `--without-qt'
