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

[Alexei Podtelezhnikov]

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
