RE: [Freetype] Freetype in Embedded Devices

[Chan Choong Cheng-F11968]

Hi Werner,

Right now, I'm doing Chinese fonts display in EPOC.

We have a font file that is bitmap based, and I'm trying to compress the font 
file to save ROM space.

When the fonts are being used, it will be uncompressed from the font file for 
display.

I'm not sure if freetype engine can be utilize for this purpose.

Yes; some users have ported FreeType to EPOC.

What exactly do you mean?
