The main reason I did that was for cross-platform compatability, but I've never had a Mac to try on. If you can get (...) (17 years ago, 2-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

Only issue is that the version of Freetype 2 that comes with OS X doesn't seem to know about FTOrientation, so I just ifdeffed out the few bits that (...)

The headers are last dated 2002, and a look at more recent freetype changelogs suggests that predates the introduction of "FTOrientation." It's annoying (...)
