Re: [ft] Using FreeType for matching font metrics

[Martin Kotulla (SoftMaker)]

Dave:

Thank you for the additional background information. As I know a bit 
about font creation, I do agree that there is hard work in creating a 
Multiple Master typeface with a reasonably large character set and a 
wide range of scalability.

I'd also rather use embedded fonts, but the source formats do not 
support this. So, font substitution with fitted glyphs is the only 
remaining solution.

I am still hoping someone can give me an idea how to accomplish this 
with FreeType.

Or would Adobe's donated font rasterizer, separate from FreeType, suit 
the problem better?

Best,
