%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ Graphite2 Graphite2 is a rendering engine for graphite fonts. These are TrueType fonts with additional tables containing smart rendering information and were originally developed to support complex non-Roman writing systems. They may contain rules for e.g. ligatures, glyph substitution, kerning, justification - this can make them useful even on text written in Roman writing systems such as English. Note that firefox provides an internal copy of the graphite engine and cannot use a system version, but it too should benefit from the availability of graphite fonts. &lfs75_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &graphite2-md5sum; Download size: &graphite2-size; Estimated disk space required: &graphite2-buildsize; Estimated build time: &graphite2-time; Graphite2 Dependencies Required Optional , , and silgraphite to build the comparerender test and benchmarking tool, and if that is present, to add more functionality to it (this is a circular dependency, you would need to first build graphite2 without harfbuzz). To build the documentation, which is reported to be broken, would require all of AsciiDoc, and . Optional (at runtime) You will need at least one suitable graphite font for the package to be useful. User Notes: Install Graphite2 by running the following commands: mkdir build && cd build && cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr .. && make To test the results, issue: make test. Now, as the root user: make install Installed Programs Installed Libraries Installed Directories gr2fonttest, and optionally comparerender libgraphite2.so /usr/include/graphite2 and /usr/share/graphite2 Short Descriptions comparerender is a test and benchmarking tool. comparerender gr2fonttest is a diagnostic console tool for graphite fonts. gr2fonttest libgraphite2.so is a rendering engine for graphite fonts. libgraphite2.so
