NAME

         Imager::Font::FreeType2 - low-level functions for FreeType2 text output

DESCRIPTION

       Imager::Font creates a Imager::Font::FreeType2 object when asked to.

       See Imager::Font to see how to use this type.

       This class provides low-level functions that require the caller to perform data validation.

       This driver supports:

       transform()
       dpi()
       draw()
           The following parameters:

           •   "utf8"

           •   "vlayout"

           •   "sizew"

   Special behaviors
       If you call transform() to set a transformation matrix, hinting will be switched off.  This prevents
       sudden jumps in the size of the text caused by the hinting when the transformation is the identity
       matrix.  If for some reason you want hinting enabled, use $font->hinting(hinting=>1) to re-enable
       hinting.  This will need to be called after each call to transform().
