I have heard some terms about linux fonts,such as XFT, fontconfig etc.I just cann’t figure out these mumble jumbo.Is there any good tutorial/article about fonts in linux?or fonts in general in the computer science.Thanks.
XFT is the X FreeType (TrueType clone/compatible) Font rasterization library (It draws font). FreeType fonts are just like TrueType (ttf). Fontconfig is a library for global font configuration. Font is really simple, just think of it as stamps. Read about rasterization and you’ll understand better how font works.
