Subject: [STSF-announce] Standard Type Services Framework (STSF) 0.2
Released



The STSF team announces the 0.2 release of the Standard Type Services
Framework.

The source code and FreeBSD binary packages (Linux RPM packages to
follow) are available for download from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/stsf/

STSF consists of two parts:

ST  - rendering-system independent framework

XST - X11 extension to XFree86 4.2.0 that exports ST functionality
          to X11 clients

ST compiles on Solaris, Linux, and FreeBSD platforms.  XST compiles on
Solaris, Linux, and FreeBSD as well, but does not contain drivers for
common Solaris/sparc graphics cards, so is not usable on most
Solaris/sparc platforms at this time.

The source code comes in two archives:
        st-0.2.src.tgz
                contains the entire ST source tree

        xst-0.2_xfree86-4.2.0.src.tgz
                contains the entire XFree86 4.2.0 + XST extension
                source tree

        Alternatively, if you already have XFree86 4.2.0 source
        tree you can apply a patch xfree86-xst-0.2.patch.gz to
        it.

ST currently requires GNU make and FreeType
(See the docs/INSTALL file in the ST distribution for full
instructions.)

XST requires ST, Motif or OpenMotif, and GNU libiconv if your system
libc does not provide iconv.  (A link to the ST source tree must exist
as "ST" in the parent directory of the XST tree.)

Neither ST nor XST are completely implemented at this time, but you
can see what is available by running our xclock -digital or xstfontsel
demos in X or the ST web demo cgi using the GD graphics library.

Mailing lists for comments, questions, or further discussion are
available at:        http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=46276
