Re: [Devel] Freetype with microwindows/nano-X

[Wong ShingYuen]

Hi

I am also interested in TrueTypefont on microwin, specially chinese TTfont, 
but my target is Arm.
In my experience, the microwin can be config and modified to displaying 
chinese TTf on my desktop linux, but when I compiled the same source code 
for Arm and running on Arm, I have meet the similar error "Segmentation 
fault". Therefore, I think the TTfont work in your host computer doesn't 
mean that it could be run on PowerPC.

I suggested that you post your question in 
http://www.linuxhacker.org/nanogui/, the maillist of microwin.

Moreover, there are some test program in $FREETYPE/test, I suggested that u 
use those test program to test whethere the freetype lib is work on both 
your host computer and PowerPC. If it is work on PowerPC, then try debug 
microwin.(I  am also debuging microwin-0.89pre8 for displaying Chinese 
TTfont).


Cheer,
Gary
