<DIV><FONT face=ËÎÌå size=2><FONT size=3>Hi,<BR>I am a newbie. Now I meet some
problems. Wish you can help. I have a type of Chinese fonts that has private
style. I want it to be show in the linux KDE Platform just like TrueType fonts
or others, and I hope my fonts will be showed in font¡¯s style list when you use
the OpenOffice writer. I have read the freetype¡¯s documents and found it is a
good choice for me to write my font¡¯s driver. But I am confused by the fowling
problems:<BR>1. Can freetype complete what I want? If not, any suggestion?<BR>2.
How to install freetype2 to the linux? Should I replace the source of
freetype2 in Xfree86 with my freetype and then compile and install xfree86
again? <BR>3. What should I do when I want to debug the
code?</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=ËÎÌå size=2><FONT size=3>4. This moring I acted as freetype
2.14 INSTALL.UNX to upgrade freetype on Redhat linux 9.01:<BR>./configure
--prefix=/usr<BR>make <BR>make install<BR>cp /usr/lib/libfreetype.a
/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/fonts/libfreetype.a (because I found that startx will
load /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/fonts/libfreetype.a, which don't be upgraded by make
install)<BR>After doing above all, I used "startx", but it failed , I checked
the log, which shows the following message:<BR>Duplicate symbol BitOrderInvert
in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/fonts/libfreetype.a:truetype.o<BR>Also defined in
(built-in)<BR>Why?<BR><BR>Thanks a
lot!</FONT><BR></FONT></DIV></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
