FreeType is a freely available software library to render fonts. It is written in C, designed to be small, efficient, highly customizable, and portable while capable of producing high-quality output (glyph images) of most vector and bitmap font formats. Some products that use FreeType for rendering fonts on screen or on paper, either exclusively or partially:.
and other free Unix operating system derivates like or;., Apple's mobile operating system for iPhones and iPads;., Google's operating system for smartphones and tablet computers;., Google's operating system for laptop computers;., a free open source operating system based on the best design principles found in the Windows NT architecture;., a PostScript interpreter used in many printers. Counting the above products only, you get more than a billion devices that contain FreeType.
2018-01-08 FreeType version 2.9, the first release of a new ‘minor’ series, is now available for download. The main reason for starting a new series is Ewald Hew's GSoC contribution of making Adobe's CFF engine handle Type 1 fonts also, greatly improving the rendering quality of this ancient but still important font format. If you are going to use variation fonts, please update to this version since it comes with some important fixes. More information on this and other changes can be found. FreeType 2.8.1. 2017-09-16 FreeType 2.8.1 has been released. This is mainly a maintenance release with one important change: By default, FreeType now offers high quality LCD-optimized output without resorting to ClearType techniques of resolution tripling and filtering.
In this method, called Harmony, each color channel is generated separately after shifting the glyph outline, capitalizing on the fact that the color grids on LCD panels are shifted by a third of a pixel. This output is indistinguishable from ClearType with a light 3-tap filter. See for a extensive list of changes; noteworthy bug fixes are correct handling of B/W TrueType hinting and some OpenType variation font handling issues. FreeType 2.8. 2016-09-08 We start a new ‘minor’ series, which finally allows us to activate a new default mode for bytecode hinting (see also the announcements below for version 2.6.4 and 2.6.5): Subpixel hinting, also known as ClearType hinting.
In case you are already using subpixel hinting (for example, by using the ‘Infinality patches’ as provided by some GNU/Linux or BSD distributions, or directly from ), be noted that the new mode might provide subtle differences; the code was simplified to make it much faster. If you are used to the old full-pixel hinting, you will see many rendering changes. If you really dislike them, you can disable them at compile time or using the new FREETYPEPROPERTIES environment variable. A description of the remaining changes can be found, as usual. FreeType 2.6.5.
2016-07-12 This release is almost identical to the previous version, with two differences. It compiles again on Mac OS X, and. it reverts the activation of subpixel hinting by default; it will be enabled by default in the forthcoming 2.7.x series. Main reason for reverting this feature is the principle of least surprise: a sudden change in appearance of all fonts (even if the rendering improves for almost all recent fonts) should not be expected in a new micro version of a series. FreeType 2.6.4. 2015-11-28 FreeType 2.6.2 has been released. This is a minor release that mainly provides better handling of malformed fonts.
All users should upgrade. A new feature is stem darkening support for the auto-hinter. Note, however, that it is off by default, since most graphic systems don't provide correct linear alpha blending with gamma correction, which is crucial for a good appearance. For the same reason, stem darkening for the CFF engine is now off by default, too. See for a more detailed list of changes. FreeType 2.6.1.
2014-12-06 FreeType 2.5.4 has been released. All users should upgrade due to another fix for vulnerability CVE-2014-2240 in the CFF driver. The library also contains a new round of patches for better protection against malformed fonts. The main new feature, which is also one of the targets mentioned in the pledgie roadmap below, is auto-hinting support for Devanagari and Telugu, two widely used Indic scripts. A more detailed description of the remaining changes and fixes can be found. New Pledgie Campaign. 2014-03-11 This is a call for a to support my (Werner Lemberg) expenses in 2014.
Thanks to all donors, the was successful, and all goals have been reached! If your company is using FreeType in your product, and you care about continuing support and further development, please contribute to my funding effort so I can continue to bring the best text rendering to your devices! Alternatively, direct donations to my PayPal account are also highly welcome:-) Roadmap Besides user support and fixing bugs, your money will help me implement the following issues. Setting up a test framework for FreeType. This is a huge, long-term undertaking that will ensure both stability and reliability of the library. The idea is to collect test cases (mainly broken fonts) that cover as much source code as possible. Another idea to investigate is the development of scripts that can generate both valid and invalid input data to systematically increase the coverage of executed library code, including the unlikely cases.
Finally, images of valid, well-rendered input fonts could be collected: As soon as a change to the rendering image gets applied, a comparison run with those images should detect rendering regressions. Further improvements to the auto-hinter.
Right now, the module for Indic support is a dummy, and support for the family of Arabic scripts is completely missing. FreeType 2.6.1 comes with auto-hinting support for Devanagari, Telugu, Arabic, Thai, and Lao. Both investigation and research is necessary to find out how much auto-hinting is possible and useful, and whether other, completely different scripts can be supported at all. Right now, rendering Type 1 and CID-keyed fonts is the weakest part of FreeType. However, we now have a brand-new module for handling CFF.
Given that CFF is very similar to Type 1, it should be not too difficult to use and/or extend the CFF code so that Type 1 fonts can be handled, too. Explore whether it makes sense to merge FreeType with (parts of) the library. Since version 2.5.3, FreeType already links to HarfBuzz to use its abilities for scanning OpenType layout features, and more integration might be sensible for both libraries. More improvements to this website.

Last year I’ve redesigned the FreeType website. However, a large bunch of documents are still using the old design, and some of them are also no longer up to date. As with version 2.6.0, the FreeType Tutorial has been updated.
FreeType 2.5.3. 2013-11-25 FreeType 2.5.1 has been released, providing three major new features. Support for the WOFF font format, contributed by Behdad Esfahbod. The auto-hinter now supports Hebrew, together with improved support for Cyrillic and Greek. The directory layout of the (installed) FreeType header files has been simplified.
Among other changes I want to mention that FreeType's TrueType debugger ( ttdebug) has been made more versatile. An exhaustive list of changes can be found. Pledgie Campaign Was Successful! 2013-06-19 FreeType 2.5 has been released. A major new feature is support for color embedded bitmaps (eg. Color emoji), contributed by Behdad Esfahbod on behalf of Google.
Additionally, Adobe's CFF engine is now the default, which makes a good reason to change from the 2.4.x to the 2.5.x series. On the technical side, the property API to access FreeType module parameters ( FTPropertySet and FTPropertyGet) is now declared as stable. As usual, see for the complete release notes, which give more details.
