Fork of freetype for ReFuel, Only expect ABI changes.

drastically reduce the heap usage of FreeType, especially in the case of memory-mapped files. The idea is to avoid loading and decoding tables in the heap, and instead access the raw data whenever possible (i.e. when it doesn't compromise performance). This had several impacts: first, opening vera.ttf uses a ridiculous amount of memory (when the FT_Library footprint is accounted for), until you start loading glyphs. Even then, you'll save at least 20 Kb compared to the non optimized case. performance of various operations, including open/close has also been dramatically improved. More optimisations to come. The auto-hinter eats memory like crazy? This must be stopped... |

Special notes to Unix users =========================== Please read the file "docs/UPGRADE.UNX". It contains important information regarding the installation of FreeType on Unix systems, especially GNU based operating systems like GNU/Linux. FreeType 2's library is called `libfreetype', FreeType 1's library is called `libttf'. They are *not* compatible! FreeType 2.1.10 =============== Please read the docs/CHANGES file, it contains IMPORTANT INFORMATION. Read the files "docs/INSTALL" for installation instructions. Note that the FreeType 2 documentation is now available as a separate package from our sites. See: ftp://ftp.freetype.org/freetype/freetype2/ftdocs-2.1.10.tar.bz2 ftp://ftp.freetype.org/freetype/freetype2/ftdocs-2.1.10.tar.gz ftp://ftp.freetype.org/freetype/freetype2/ftdoc2110.zip Bugs ==== Please report bugs by e-mail to `devel@freetype.org'. Don't forget to send a detailed explanation of the problem -- there is nothing worse than receiving a terse message that only says "it doesn't work". Enjoy! The FreeType Team
