[docs] Add documentation on compiling FreeType on an Android Device
A freely available software library to render fonts.
❮ Website ❯ ❮ Install ❯ ❮ Changes ❯ ❮ Documentation ❯ ❮ API ❯ ❮ License ❯
FreeType is a C library, designed to be small, efficient, highly customizable, and portable while capable of producing high-quality output (glyph images) of most vector and bitmap font formats.
The FreeType 2 API reference for the latest release, along with additional documentation can be found online at:
Refer to DOCGUIDE for more information.
FreeType's official git repository is located at
from which the ‘freetype.git’ and ‘freetype-demos.git’ repositories can be cloned in the usual way.
FreeType:
git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype/freetype.git
FreeType-demos:
git clone https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype/freetype-demos.git
If you want to use the Savannah mirror instead, you have to do a slightly different incantation because the repository names contain digit ‘2’ for historical reasons.
git clone https://git.savannah.nongnu.org/git/freetype/freetype2.git
git clone https://git.savannah.nongnu.org/git/freetype/freetype2-demos.git
FreeType supports compilation via meson, GNU make and CMake
