gnu.java.awt.font

[Sascha Brawer]

Hi all,

I've put a new snapshot of a prospective gnu.java.awt.font package at the
following address:

  http://www.dandelis.ch/development/fonts/#Implementation

There also now is an interactive test program, and the page has some
screen shots which show that the quality is surprisingly good with anti-
aliased rendering, even though no hinting is done.

I currently do not want to spend much additional time on
gnu.java.awt.font, because the current state, after about a month of
work, is enough for the needs of my project. If anyone else would like to
enhance the library, please contact me (or the mailing list).

Also, people might be interested to know that the design is such that it
would be possible to plug in other font scalers, such as one that uses
FreeType2. If you'd like to work on such a module, please contact me (or
the mailing list) as well.
