D-Type

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. At present, D-Type technology consists of the following engines:
