Hello mentors,

I have uploaded my initial draft proposal at GSoC under the title:- "Re: Develop a test framework for checking FreeType's rendering output", It is an initial draft and there must be many shortcomings in it, do share your reviews or suggestions. I will be very thankful to you.

Thanks in advance

I don't have suggestions, since I'm not acquainted with those issues.
Actually, it's part of the GSoC project to do this research, testing
the various possibilities, producing test HTML pages that can be
visited, maybe producing snapshots too, etc., etc.

Maybe :-)

We don't have specific questions to be answered.  A good description
of the problem and your planned activities to solve it together with a
timetable should do.  If you want comments, submit a draft proposal at
GSoC (and tell us), and we will have a look.
