Hi.
You may already know that, about a month or so ago, I was harping on about a
TrueType font rendering library for DJGPP+Allegro I was slapping together.
So whatever happened to that project, you may ask?
At the time I started it, I was unemployed. Plenty of time to do it, and it
was progressing quite nicely. Then I found work (and lots of it), so
naturally the project stalled. However, due to demand (from a friend who
needs it), I dragged myself to the computer and slapped together the first
build! Yes, AllegTTF++ 0.1a has been slapped together ladies and gentlemen.
All that's remaining to do is the brief manual. The distribution comes
complete with the FreeType v2 library - well, at least all that's needed to
build and use it with DJGPP.
So expect the first release in a day or two - at worst, a week. But, no
promises. I am a busy person.
Thanks for your patience.
- Steven Taylor.
