Hi Bert,
I would very much like to adapt my sub-pixel work to use your Freetype2
plugin.

How should I proceed with installing it? In particular...

Which image should I use, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, any particular configuration?

Which packages should I load?
    I have tried loading stuff, but get various errors, for example...
        When I try to load Freetype-Base-JMM.40.mcz into latest 3.9 I get...
            This package depends on the following classes:
              CTransformCanvas

    Is there some other stuff I need first?

How would I then set things up for building a VM & plugin for Windows?
    Do I need to obtain the source for a specific version of Freetype2 ?
    (When I built a custom VM for my new BitBlt mode, I found that I had to
do this from 3.7 Full.
    3.8 and later caused errors, but I didn't have time to investigate)

Any help you can give me is much appreciated.
Cheers,
Andy

Don't know. But for Sophie I revived Ned's Freetype2 Plugin:

http://source.impara.de/freetype.html

The integration with regular Squeak fonts is a bit immature (Sophie
uses its own font management) but it should be a start.

What would be cool is if someone would take this and make a higher-
quality renderer for the TTCFonts - if the plugin is available,
render nicely sub-pixel antialiased glyphs with Freetype, otherwise
fall back to the currently used blurry BalloonEngine rendering.
