This is an official announcement that the FreeType Plus packages are now released.
You can download from SqueakMap, or via the Package Universe within a developer Squeak (squeak-dev) image.
I will be documenting various aspects of this on the wiki; at present you can view some screenshots, and read some preliminary descriptions, at http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/5984
It will work, to varying degrees, on Windows (98, 2000, XP, & Vista); Linux (OpenSUSE, Fedora, Ubuntu, etc.); and Mac OS X.
It requires an FT2Plugin, which is shipped with the Mac VM, and is available for Windows/Linux via the FreeType Plus (plugins installer) package.
To enable sub-pixel anti-aliasing, the optional, and separate, FreeType Plus (sub-pixel anti-aliasing) package must be installed. This requires a modified BitBltPlugin. This is currently available for Windows/Linux only, and is installed via the FreeType Plus (plugins installer) package. If anybody wishes to attempt compile it for Macs, then please let me know.
Rather than try to describe everything, and anticipate every question in advance, I would rather wait to see how people get on with installing/using it, and then update and improve the documentation accordingly. So, if you have problems, then please let me know; and if you have success then that would be nice to hear about too :)
Cheers, Andy
