Allows an application in a simple manner to print out better looking texts -
similiar to "anti-alias" font-rendering functions.
- comes with full source codes (written in standard C)
- example program is a CLI-only tool (colour computed only if OS 3 or better)
- library requires OS 1.2 or higher but only tested under OS 3 so far
This shared library is public domain, thus everybody is able to use/improve it.
At the moment the font analysing/rendering is not optimized and thus slow,
but since it will be only invoked upon creating the new font-counterpart,
this doesn't matter.
The display rendering, however, is half as fast as standard text-rendering
since each character has to be rendered two times into the display.
The include-files were created using Dirk Stoeckers FD2Pragma program - I
don't know if there are currently any bugs since I only used the MaxonC++
compiler to produce the shared library and the lonely example - and they work!
