D-Type Font Engine and Scalable Graphics Libraries: smooth, antialiased scalable graphics with TrueType, OpenType, Type 1, Type 3, bare CFF and D-Type fonts
Description
D-Type is a professional high-performance scalable rasterizing technology for fast and smooth (anti-aliased) text and 2D graphics with built-in support for D-Type, TrueType, OpenType, Type 1, Type 3 and bare CFF fonts. This powerful technology is fully cross-platform and ideal for software developers who wish to render high-quality anti-aliased text and scalable graphics from their applications.
D-Type technology is a result of our extensive experience in digital type technologies, 2D rendering and font hinting. Our work on D-Type started in 1995 as a research project. Due to the success of this project, in early 1996 we decided to release the first commercial version of D-Type Font Engine and Rasterizer. D-Type PowerDoc Engine and Text Layout Extension followed a few years later. The goal of the project from the very beginning was to create a superior font and scalable graphics rendering engine suitable for all types of applications – including the most demanding ones such as games and multi-media software. To achieve this goal, a whole set of completely new algorithms had to be invented and developed: sophisticated anti-aliased rendering, revolutionary automatic font hinting, advanced real-time font interpolation and grayscale bitmap tuning are just a few of them. Today, D-Type is most likely the world's fastest rendering engine for smooth text and 2D graphics.
D-Type Libraries
D-Type libraries are written in industry standard C++ and portable to virtually any hardware or operating system environment. They are mature, reliable, secure, well supported, optimized for speed and packed with features.
D-Type Font Engine
A portable, high-performance and high-quality scalable font engine for smooth (anti-aliased) text with built-in support for TrueType, OpenType, Type 1, Type 3, bare CFF and D-Type fonts. Supports multiple-master font technology, advanced text effects, unique automatic font hinting, fractional character positioning and much more. Suitable for CRT monitors, LCD and TV screens.
D-Type Rasterizer
A lightning fast rasterizer for sharp and smooth (anti-aliased) vector-based graphics of absolutely amazing quality. Suitable for all types of applications that require superb output quality regardless of the platform, device or resolution.
D-Type PowerDoc Engine
A powerful rendering engine for creating professional, high-quality and resolution independent presentations. Includes all of the standard library features plus a number of advanced text, layout, bitmap and document manipulation and rendering capabilities.
D-Type Text Layout Extension
Compact, portable and easy-to-use extension to lay out Unicode text. The extension supports complex scripts such as Arabic, Indic and Thai and takes care of any special processing rules necessary to shape and lay out those scripts correctly.
D-Type PowerDoc For ASP/.NET
A server-side rendering component for Active Server Pages. It can generate dynamic graphics directly from Web pages in real time. Ideal for dynamic titles, charts, maps, diagrams etc.
