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().
