Title: TTEngine 6.4 for MorphOS
Post by: krashan on June 11, 2003, 03:11:16 PM

Amiga TrueType text rendering engine TTEngine (http://teleinfo.pb.bialystok.pl/tte/) has been ported to MorphOS. Native PPC version is 150 to 200% faster than 68k one under emulation. Binary can be downloaded here (http://teleinfo.pb.bialystok.pl/tte/files/ttengine-6.4-mos.lha).

Hmm...MorphOS already supports TTF fonts via Freetype, doing antialiasing optionally and making the fonts available to every app just like Intellifont does (except much faster and better). So I'm just wondering what the difference is with this.

Edit: I should really read the readme.

The library is fast, AmigaOS friendly TrueType render engine. It has nothing to do with Amiga outline font system. This system has a lot of limitations which make it useless for high speed and quality text output. If someone wants an integration of TrueType with AmigaOS bullet.library like outline font system, should consider using ttf.library. This library opens TrueType font by itself and renders high quality glyphs directly into any RastPort.
