Re: [ft-devel] Request: Extend compatibility to C++/CLI

[David Turner]

Hello Matt,

forget about any changes to any public FreeType header files, this
is *not* going to happen.

You'd better use a trick like '#define  generic _generic' before
including the headers and see if it works.

Hope this helps,
