[Devel] Fw: Info for Mac

[Dan Williams]

Hi,

date.html

These would be two good points to look at for Mac OS X (and Mac OS 9)  
frameworks and libraries to use for text and fonts.  OS X supports  
OpenType fonts.  Freetype2 also runs on OS X just fine, and will be  
installed if you install an X server, either Apple's X11  
(http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/x11/download/) or XDarwin  
(www.xdarwin.org).  Be aware that freetype doesn't currently support  
more than the first face in an Mac OS resource-based font file however.  
 Other than that, full FreeType functionality is available, and of  
course native OS X typography and font functions.

Do you have any further or more specific questions we could answer?
