Default Bug#568701: ITP: libisfreetype-java -- Java wrapper for FreeType font handling library

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: "Steffen Möller" <steffen_moeller@gmx.de>

* Package name : libisfreetype-java
Version : 5.2
* URL : http://opensource.intarsys.de/home/en/index.php?n=IsFreeType.Download
* License : custom free
Programming Lang: Java
Description : Java wrapper for FreeType font handling library

The PDF rendering of the Open Source efforts of the company intarsys
was in demand of a good font handling library. This new development was
motivated by observations that current solutions
* only have poor support for VM
* there is no plain Java library around
* extends the de factor standard C library FreeType
This library wraps around the functions that were important for
using isNativeC (another library of the same company) and were ready
to run on all FreeType supported platforms.
.
While this wrapper-library binds and uses only a very small subset
of the FreeType features available, to the degree that it is needed
for the jPodRenderer, it should be no problem to use and enhance
this implementation in other contexts.
