TrueType fonts have a publicly documented file format. ZPB-TTF is a TrueType file parser that provides an interface for reading typographic metrics, glyph outlines, and other information from a TTF file.

PLplot is relatively small, portable, freely distributable, and is rich enough to satisfy most users. It has a wide range of plot types including line (linear, log), contour, 3D, fill, and almost 1000 characters (including Greek and mathematical) in its extended font set. The package is designed to make it easy to quickly get graphical output; only a handful of function calls is typically required. For more advanced use, virtually all aspects of plotting are configurable.

To built a flexible PDF rendering one first needed some basics functionality to deal with fonts, images and general platform abstractions. The result is isCWT. It contains all abstraction and implementations needed for rendering PDF that are not related to PDF itself. This library is built and used primarily for jPod Renderer, so one is likely to miss some features when using it in another context.

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.

Ming is an SWF (Flash) file format output library. It is written in C, with wrappers for C++, Perl, Python, PHP and experimental support for Ruby and Java.

This display font is built with geometric shapes lending it a futurist look. It is a great choice for headlines, graphic design and more.
