nanogui: Thread: freetype2

Hi,

I'm tryig to use true type fonts on my embedded target with the help of 
freetype2 lib. I managed to compile 2.1.9 version for ARM, but while 
trying to compile nanox I get several following errors:
...mw/trizeps-microwin/src/engine/font_freetype2.c:618: error: structure 
has no member named `font'

Should I use earlier version of freetype?

regards,
h

Yes.  Jonathan Foster contributed the freetype support, but I
haven't heard from him lately.  I will add this to the buglist.

I haven't heard anything from Jonathan.  Can you remind me what
the problems were?  Is it just compilation issues?

Yes. Apparently the freetype internas changed between 2.1.3 and 2.1.9.
Some structures are different. Some functions missing or new.

I'm afraid one would need some deeper understanding of freetype to fix that...
Otherwise I would have already done it. :-(

Thanks.

I am trying to use freetype 2.1.10 with the current cvs of Microwindows.  Microwindows complains that the 'font' member is missing in font_freetype2.c.  If I disable the cache it says that 'length' and 'buffer' are undeclared.

Is there a fix for this?

thanks

dave

No, but should be easy.  The FT2 code is contributed, and doesn't
work unless cache is disabled (at least for win32 code).  It appears
that FT2 header files change from release to release, thus breaking
our code.  You'll need to disable cache, and then see how
FT 2.1.10 has renamed the length and buffer members, so it will
compile.  Please send me a patch if you get this working.
