FreeType/2 is a high-quality font driver (IFI) for supporting TrueType fonts
in OS/2 Presentation Manager. It is a replacement for OS/2's built-in
TRUETYPE.DLL, and is based on the open source FreeType library. With
FreeType/2, all programs which rely on Presentation Manager for rendering text
will benefit from the improved font support.
Note: FreeType/2 is a system font driver, and not should not be confused with
the FreeType library (which is used by certain software like Mozilla or QT).
Version 1.3.2 contains improvements in two areas. First, several
previously-missing flags in the GPI FONTMETRICS structure are now set
correctly (this is mainly of interest to developers). Also, a number of fixes
have been made to Asian glyphlist processing, such that reliability on DBCS
systems (particularly Japanese) should be significantly improved.
