Hi,

where can I get the free type plugin sources for the unix Squeak vm?

Thank you

The last time I compiled it for os-x was via

MCHttpRepository
        location: 'http://source.impara.de/freetype'
        user: ''
        password: ''


However to compile for os-x  the original xcode project came from  
bert. I don't think it's in the squeakvm svn tree.
Then I had to use macports to install freetype, plus then build a  
universal version for intel and powerpc.
Then you take the static libraries and link into the plugin.
If you choose to use the dynamic libraries you will find mixed  
satisfaction since thru-out the 10.4/10.5 versions of os-x
it was plagued with issues in resolving problems between font files  
and cocoa's viewpoint.

Hmm, it looks like we intended to move it to SqueakSource:

http://www.squeaksource.com/Freetype.html

but never got around to do it ...

Anybody interested in doing this? I.e., copying all versions from the  
impara server over to SqueakSource? And possibly even improving on them?

Please call the plugin part of this FT2Plugin or FreetypePlugin.  
Every other prebuilt plugin is either part of VMM or has 'Plugin'  
somewhere in its SS project name, making them easy to find.
