The FreeType2 package contains a library which allows applications to properly render TrueType fonts.
Section 9.26, “libpng-1.6.55”, and Section 9.11, “Which-2.23 and Alternatives”
"brotli" and "librsvg"
Prepare FreeType2 by running the following commands:
sed -ri "s:.*(AUX_MODULES.*valid):\1:" modules.cfg
sed -r "s:.*(#.*SUBPIXEL_RENDERING) .*:\1:" \
-i include/freetype/config/ftoption.h
./configure --prefix=/usr \
--disable-static \
--enable-freetype-config \
--with-harfbuzz=dynamic
Build the application with:
make
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, Install the Package:
make install
If you downloaded the optional documentation, and wish to install it, enter the following commands:
tar -xf ../freetype-doc-2.14.2.tar.xz --strip-components=2 -C docs cp -v -R docs -T /usr/share/doc/freetype-2.14.2 rm -v /usr/share/doc/freetype-2.14.2/freetype-config.1
sed -ri ...: First
command enables GX/AAT and OpenType table validation and second
command enables Subpixel Rendering. Note that Subpixel Rendering
may have patent issues. Be sure to read the 'Other patent issues' part of https://freetype.org/patents.html
before enabling this option.
--disable-static: This
switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.
--enable-freetype-config:
This switch ensures that the man page for freetype-config is
installed.
--with-harfbuzz=dynamic:
This switch ensures that HarfBuzz is loaded dynamically, skipping
the requirement to rebuild this package after HarfBuzz is
installed.
--without-harfbuzz: If harfbuzz is installed prior to freetype without freetype support, use this switch to avoid a
build failure.
