Re: Develop a test framework for checking FreeType's rendering output

[sarthak bhardwaj]

Hi Alexei,

Thanks for the feedback, TBVH I have not gone so far researching about image generation though i got only basics, as  I was more and more focusing on migrating the integration tool servers and came across many different stuffs for setting up the roadmap for migration as well as improving UI, But again thanks for your useful feedback, I have marked your words and will surely update the draft ASAP, and if you find any more improvements please give intimation.

Regards,

Sarthak Bhardwaj

Hi Sarthak

In your proposal, I see a lot about infrastructure, but not so much
about the image generation. Are you familiar with FreeType Demos
(https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype/freetype-demos), which can
output PNG directly. Can they be used or modified to be useful?

Thank you,
Alexei
