Dear All
In recent times , I have been trying to use freetype2 support for the
applications in Nano-X.
I have installed freetype2.2.1 .
Initially I was having problems in compiling Nano-X as I was getting error
in the file engine/font_freetype2.c that the structure MWFREETYPE2FONT had
no member named font.
Then I searched and found the following patch on the net ...
http://avr32linux.org/twiki/pub/Main/Nano-X/microwindows-0.91-avr32.patch
As I applied this patch , I could compile the source code , but the output
on the frame buffer console is highly distorted.
The problems occurred were as follows :
1. No mouse pointer appears on the screen though I am using serial mouse (
it was displayed previously).
2. A square block appears wherever the mouse pointer is supposed to be
shown.
3. The fontdemo.sh demo function displays all the alphabets in square
boxes ( i.e. it is unable to display the font properly).
4. The display is not redrawn properly . So the image starts to display
the background text which should not be displayed otherwise.
Am I missing something here ?
Please suggest me some pointers to the solution of the above problem.
Thanks and Regards.
