It uses most internal parts of the Type 1 +rasterizer provided with X11R5 and newer but tries avoid the disadvantages +known from that rasterizer. Although most people would use the rasterizer +under X11, having X11 is not necessary at all. + +The rasterizer is implemented as a shared or static library to be linked +to the programs that want to use Type 1 fonts. In addition to this library +there is a test-program called xglyph which, as the name indicates, +requires X11. It can be used to show most of the features of the library. +xglyph can be run out of the box without doing any X11 configuration like +setting resources. |
