Hi List,
I'm happy to announce an early snapshot of a Python wrapper around the
FreeType v2 API. I'm using Pyrex to wrap this library since it is
very convenient for investigating changes to the API seen by the Python
user.
$ wc -l freetype.pyx
1812
It doesn't have much to offer a FreeType library user (yet), since
much of the work in supporting glyph manipulation remains to be done.
However, we ARE at a stage where the font information dumper example
program 'ftdump' can be written entirely in Python.
Project URL : http://indic-computing.sourceforge.net/projects/pyfreetype2.html
Download : http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=38057
I'm still figuring my way around Python's innards; comments are
welcome.
