The GDC image (stripped) is 324,492. I installed reggae on my laptop (debian) and did a "reggae --export". Then using make (with ldc2) I got image of 13,088. Using "dub -b release --compiler=ldc2" (same build as on Raspbian) I get image of 381,928. Reggae builds goinsu in betterC mode, which removes dependency on the druntime and phobos. Dub can also build betterC programs, but I decided not to add such flag to dub.json, because betterC is a new thing which can cause problems. LDC and GDC could have very limited betterC support, so results may vary. How do I do a static linkage using LDC? I need a static because I want to try and run this with an Alpine (arm) Docker image and Alpine is using muslib-c. I once built an Alpine Docker image by hand that built ldc, but it couldn't survive D version/Alpine Os updates. You don't have to compile LDC for this. It is possible to compile a static musl and link it together with the goinsu. Take a look at `.travis.yml`, since this is exactly what I am doing to build releases. Also, do not forget the `errnofix.c`, which is important for static linking. Reggae does this automatically, you just have to specify static libc you want to link to. Maybe it won't work for RPi though. I've ordered Raspberry Pi recently, so as soon as I get it I can start hacking on it as well) Thank you so much for this tool! You're welcome!

Hey, thanks! Looks good. One small thing though - when you use the LCD/BGR style fonts, you get a mismatch between the font metrics and bitmap size. So if you're using FT_LOAD_TARGET_LCD, then some of these may be true: glyph.bitmap_left != (glyph.metrics.horiBearingX >> 6); glyph.bitmap_top != (glyph.metrics.horiBearingY >> 6); glyph.bitmap.width != (glyph.metrics.width >> 6); glyph.bitmap.rows != (glyph.metrics.height >> 6); The result could be a crash, clipping, or misalignment of glyphs, depending on the assumptions made by your blitting code. I asked about this on the FT mailing list, and unfortunately, they don't believe that the 1 or 2 pixels of padding added to the bitmap to accommodate the LCD rendering belongs in metrics. The fix is simply using bitmap_left, bitmap_top, bitmap.width, bitmap.height, instead of the metrics. I was looking at the commits and saw that you added kerning, so was wondering if you hit this problem.
