Hi all,
I'm working on a simple GUI that will run on an ARM based system using Linux
2.4 with framebuffer support. My application is simple enough that a window
system (x or whatever) seems like overkill. At this point, I am able to
render images on my display but now I need a way to render text. Looks like
FreeType is what I'm looking for. I'm kinda new at this Linux game so I was
wondering if you might be able to give me some pointers on how I might
implement FT on my system. I have a working cross development toolchain,
etc. Are there any simple demos that write FT generated text to the
framebuffer device?
Sorry if this request seems a little broad but I don't know enough to know
what I really need to ask.
Any help much appreciated,
Thanks,
Lance
