FreeType is a portable, high-quality software solution for digital typography. FreeType 1.3.1 was the last release of the FreeType 1 engine, as the project is now switching to a new version dubbed FreeType 2. It has, among other things, several advantages over FreeType 1: * A universal and simple API to manage font files * Support for several font formats through loadable drivers * Even more portable * An improved anti-aliasing algorithm
