   FreeType/2 IFI v1.3.1 released   
   02 Jan 11 00:13:01   
   
   From: "Alex Taylor"    
      
   Version 1.3.1 of the FreeType/2 Installable Font Driver is now    
   available.   
      
   http://users.socis.ca/~ataylo00/programming/os2/index.html#ft2   
   (Also in Hobbes incoming.)   
      
   FreeType/2 is an OS/2 Presentation Manager font driver for TrueType    
   fonts. It is designed to replace OS/2's built-in TRUETYPE.DLL driver,    
   and is based on the open source FreeType library.    
      
   FreeType/2 was originally (v1.0 and 1.1) written by Michal Necasek.    
   More recent versions (v1.2) were maintained by KO Myung-hun.   
      
   Version 1.3 includes a number of new configuration settings designed    
   to improve the reliability of character-to-glyph mappings (especially    
   for Unicode fonts). It also has several tweaks to improve DBCS font    
   support. Finally, it comes with a new, easy-to-use graphical    
   configuration utility.   
      
      
   New in v1.31:   
    - Implemented the QueryFullFaces API.  This enables use of the GPI    
      function GpiQueryFullFontFileDescs() for TrueType font files,   
      allowing the full (untruncated) name of a font to be determined   
      when the name is more than 31 characters long.   
    - The fsType field of FONTMETRICS now observes the documented flags   
      indicating if a font face/family name has been truncated.   
    - Added an Undo button to most pages of the configuration GUI.   
    - (FIX) The configuration GUI now correctly reads the DPI setting from    
      OS2.INI.
