Editing FreeType (section)

===Major rewrite 2.0===
Version 2.0 of FreeType was a complete rewrite to make it more modular. FreeType 2 brought support for more font formats and an evolved source code which the developers stated was "simpler and more powerful".<ref name="freetype2faq">{{cite web |url=https://www.freetype.org/freetype2/docs/ft2faq.html |title=FreeType 2 FAQ |work=FreeType 2  |access-date=July 26, 2011 |ref=features}}</ref> FreeType 2 is not backward-compatible with FreeType 1 but the developers stated that moving from FreeType 1 to FreeType 2 poses little difficulty.<ref name="freetype2faq"/> As ''text layout processing'' was not an objective of FreeType 2, however, the OpenType text layout functionality of FreeType 1 was removed in FreeType 2. A very evolved form of the OpenType text layout functionality of FreeType 1 is used in the [[Pango]] text layout library. The [[HarfBuzz]] project is further evolving that functionality with a complete rewrite offered as a standalone library with a less restrictive license than Pango's license.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/HarfBuzz |title=HarfBuzz |publisher=Freedesktop.org |access-date=2014-04-04}}</ref>
