Folks,
GSoC 2023 is over; a few days ago the last project has finished – all
FreeType students have passed :-)
We had three projects:
* Ahmet's code to improve 'ftbench' so that it can emit benchmarking
test reports:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype/freetype/-/tree/gsoc-2023-ahmet-final
* Anurag's code to port 'font-rs', an alternative rendering engine, to
FreeType and compare it to the built-in rasterizer; and to convert
some parts of FreeType's documentation to Markdown
https://docs.google.com/document/d/14me6L4HEMnjBVFwOCjaBayRjQym-WK_RQuOJt7A3pCY/edit
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype/freetype/-/tree/gsoc-anurag-2023-final
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype/freetype/-/tree/gsoc-anurag-2023-docs-final
* Craig's auto-hinter code to implement a 'capabilities database' so
that glyphs like the 'tilde' accent stay legible at smaller sizes:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype/freetype/-/tree/gsoc-craig-2023-final
I want to say thank you to Ahmet, Anurag, and Craig – it's great to
have people like you who want to help improve FreeType – and wish you
all the best for your future careers!
Werner
