> What's Freetype2?
Freetype 2 is the next (work in progress) version of Freetype.
It, among other things, introduces a sound new architecture
with support for plug-in font formats (yes, Type 1 and OpenType
will be supported). There has been no formal release yet.
You can fetch the current source for testing at:
ftp://ftp.freetype.org/pub/freetype/devel/freetype2-current.tar.gz
I will begin looking at implementing the new freetype2 API
in PHP when the Freetype fellows get their first release out
(= when it's pretty sure that the API is stable). This, btw,
will have some implications like whether or not maintaining
T1Lib support is worthwhile, etc. But the time will come
to discuss things like that.
