Type:         util/libs
Version:      2.11 -beta-
Architecture: m68k-amigaos
Reaplaces:    util/libs/Catharsis.lha

Allows  an  application in a simple manner to print out better looking texts -
similiar to "anti-alias" font-rendering functions.

- comes with full source codes (written in standard C)
- example program is a CLI-only tool (colour computed only if OS 3 or better)
- library requires OS 1.2 or higher but only tested under OS 3 so far


This shared library is public domain, thus everybody is able to use/improve it.

At  the  moment  the  font analysing/rendering is not optimized and thus slow,
but  since  it  will  be  only invoked upon creating the new font-counterpart,
this doesn't matter.

The  display  rendering,  however,  is half as fast as standard text-rendering
since each character has to be rendered two times into the display.

The  include-files  were  created  using  Dirk Stoeckers FD2Pragma program - I
don't  know  if  there  are  currently any bugs since I only used the MaxonC++
compiler to produce the shared library and the lonely example - and they work!
