Re: [ft-devel] Announcing FreeType 2.6.2

Headings are better, nice :) And I like the TOC. But please re-add the note that Graham Asher proof read the text! And I apparently forgot one instance of "toggable" that should be "toggleable". ___ Freetype-devel mailing list

Re: [ft-devel] Announcing FreeType 2.6.2

Regarding the freetype.org documentation stuff, I don't have the time (and admittedly the interest) to do a move. Nikolaus, do you volunteer to set up everything? If yes, could you give an outline of the necessary steps? Yes :) Neither ETAs nor outlines yet because I actually have no idea ;)

Re: [ft-devel] Announcing FreeType 2.6.2

(a) I have no idea about such site generators. I was thinking about something like Jekyll, which is used by GitHub for project blogs etc. It's basically a template and text transformation engine, you write templates for your site and content (posts, docs, ...) in e.g. Markdown. The generator

Thank you, I enjoyed it and noticed a typo: auto-shinter. Perhaps, you are right, Ubuntu cares about the font appearance the most. If you get them on board, the rest will follow. Do you know anybody? Yeah, I noticed the typo, too ;) Notified Werner. I sadly don't know any Ubuntu-eans. What

Comments on Phoronix indicate the obvious: people do not read beyond the default LCD filter change, which is related, but not critical. You've done a good job in docs describing it in http://www.freetype.org/freetype2/docs/reference/ft2-lcd_filtering.html anyway. I suggest removing this filtering

Re: [ft-devel] Announcing FreeType 2.6.2

The text looks ok (there are some minor typos here and there). However, I don't understand what you want to say with `that I want on freetype.org' — I thought this is text for *your* blog, isn't it? Ah, so I was ambiguous. I don't have a blog, I wrote this for freetype.org :) Release

[ft-devel] Announcing FreeType 2.6.2

FreeType 2.6.2 has been released. It is available from http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/freetype/ or http://sourceforge.net/projects/freetype/files/ The latter site also holds older versions of the FreeType library. See below for the relevant snippet from the CHANGES file.

Re: [ft-devel] Announcing FreeType 2.6.2

Nice :) I think 2.6.2 packs quite a punch. Maybe users will see it at work in 2 years or so when distros upgrade ;) So have you had time to look over my blog post thing that I want on freetype.org? I think users and (Linux) news outlets such as Phoronix might care.
