- Description:
- FreeType is a freely available software library to render fonts.
It is written in C, designed to be small, efficient, highly customizable,
and portable while capable of producing high-quality output (glyph images)
of most vector and bitmap font formats.
Some products that use FreeType for rendering fonts on screen or on paper,
either exclusively or partially:

Configuration Options:- ===> The following configuration options are available for freetype2-2.13.3:
BROTLI=on: Brotli compression support
DEBUG=off: Build with debugging support
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
LONG_PCF_NAMES=on: Enable long PCF family names
PNG=on: PNG image format support
TABLE_VALIDATION=off: TrueType GX/AAT and OpenType table validation
====> Rendering technology: you have to select exactly one of them
LCD_FILTERING=off: Subpixel rendering (patented)
LCD_RENDERING=on: Harmony LCD rendering
====> Size metrics for TrueType fonts: you can only select none or one of them
TT_SIZE_METRICS=off: TrueType-like size metrics for 'light' auto-hinting
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
- Options name:
- print_freetype2
- USES:
- cmake cpe localbase pathfix pkgconfig tar:xz
- pkg-message:
- For install:
- The 2.7.x series now uses the new subpixel hinting mode (V40 port's option) as
the default, emulating a modern version of ClearType. This change inevitably
leads to different rendering results, and you might change port's options to
adapt it to your taste (or use the new "FREETYPE_PROPERTIES" environment
variable).
The environment variable "FREETYPE_PROPERTIES" can be used to control the
driver properties. Example:
FREETYPE_PROPERTIES=truetype:interpreter-version=35 \
cff:no-stem-darkening=1 \
autofitter:warping=1
This allows to select, say, the subpixel hinting mode at runtime for a given
application.
If LONG_PCF_NAMES port's option was enabled, the PCF family names may include
the foundry and information whether they contain wide characters. For example,
"Sony Fixed" or "Misc Fixed Wide", instead of "Fixed". This can be disabled at
run time with using pcf:no-long-family-names property, if needed. Example:
FREETYPE_PROPERTIES=pcf:no-long-family-names=1
How to recreate fontconfig cache with using such environment variable,
if needed:
# env FREETYPE_PROPERTIES=pcf:no-long-family-names=1 fc-cache -fsv
The controllable properties are listed in the section "Controlling FreeType
Modules" in the reference's table of contents
(/usr/local/share/doc/freetype2/reference/index.html, if documentation was installed).
