Talk:TrueType

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I removed the statements "Apple has little input on TrueType and seems to largely ignore it, while Microsoft aggressively pushes it". What is the evidence for these claims? Both companies use TT in their operating systems, right? AxelBoldt

It happens to be flat-out wrong... Apple is still putting a of development into TrueType, for example the 'Zapf' table. [1] — David Remahl 13:13, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] FreeType

There is a link to the FreeType article, yet that just redirects you to [TrueType], is this intended? FreeType, I assume can be written about enough to make an article... just link to TrueType as it naturally would in the text. JoeHenzi 11:03, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Definitely. There should be a separate article on FreeType. Feel free to write it :-) — David Remahl 13:09, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Ok, if and when I get a chance to write it can someone tell me how to start a new article if it already is redirected to TrueType? JoeHenzi 10:10, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Viewing the TrueType article, click "What links here" and then click the "Free Type" link (or whatever redirect article you want to replace). You'll be taken to a page saying "Free Type" at the top and then the article text actually says "#redirect TrueType", and you can click "edit this page", nuke the redirect, and write a new article.

[edit] "mathematically inferior"?

What does it mean to say that one kind of curve is "mathematically inferior" to another? Uucp 17:17, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
