Re: Proposal for Integrate ftbench into FreeType's build structure - GSoC 2024

[Alexei Podtelezhnikov]

Hi Ahmet 

Thanks. Please submit it. This is going to be to be rather low level 
programming. On windows, it uses GDI, which is ancient. We have untested Carbon 
implementation for old Mac pre X. It might be Quartz 2D for modern os. I will 
rely on you to research this. It should be light weight.
