Free 2 2 5 software for linux

FreeType 2 is a software font engine that is designed to be small, efficient, highly customizable and portable while capable of producing high-quality output (glyph images). FreeType 2 project can be used in graphics libraries, display servers, font conversion tools, text image generation tools, and many other products as well.
Note that FreeType 2 is a font service and doesnt provide APIs to perform higher-level features, like text layout or graphics processing (e.g. colored text rendering, "hollowing", etc..).
However, it greatly simplifies these tasks by providing a simple, easy to use and uniform interface to access the content of font files.
FreeType 2 is released under two open-source licenses: our own BSD-like FreeType License and the GPL. It can thus be used by any kind of projects, be they proprietary or not.
Main features:
- FreeType 2 provides a simple and easy-to-use API to access font content in a uniform way, independently of the file format. Additionally, some format-specific APIs can be used to access special data in the font file.
- Unlike most comparable libraries, FreeType 2 supports scalable font formats like TrueType or Type 1 natively and can return the outline data (and control instructions/hints) to client applications.
- The design of FreeType 2 is based on modules that can be either linked statically to the library at compile time, or loaded on demand at runtime. Modules are used to support specific font formats, or even new glyph image formats !
- FreeType 2 was written with embedded systems in mind. This means that it doesnt use static writable data (i.e. it can be run from ROM directly), that client applications can provide their own memory manager and i/o stream implementation.
- The latter allows you to easily read from ROM-based, compressed or remote font files with the same API. Several stream implementations can be used concurrently with a single FreeType 2 instance.
- You can also reduce the size of the FreeType 2 code by only compiling the modules you need for your embedded project/environment.
- By default, FreeType 2 supports the following font formats:
- TrueType fonts (and collections)
- Type 1 fonts
- CID-keyed Type 1 fonts
- CFF fonts
- OpenType fonts (both TrueType and CFF variants)
- SFNT-based bitmap fonts
- X11 PCF fonts
- Windows FNT fonts
- BDF fonts (including anti-aliased ones)
- PFR fonts
- Type42 fonts (limited support)
- From a given glyph outline, FreeType 2 is capable of producing a high-quality monochrome bitmap, or anti-aliased pixmap, using 256 levels of "gray". This is much better than the 5 levels used by Windows 9x/98/NT/2000 or FreeType 1.
- FreeType 2 supports all the character mappings defined by the TrueType and OpenType specification. It is also capable of automatically synthetizing a Unicode charmap from Type 1 fonts, which puts an end to the painful "encoding translation" headache common with this format (of course, original encodings are also available in the case where you need them..).
- The FreeType 2 core API provides simple functions to access advanced information like glyph names or kerning data.
- A full-featured and efficient TrueType bytecode interpreter. The engine is able to produce excellent output at small point sizes. This component has been extremely difficult to get right, due to the ambiguous and misleadings TrueType specifications. However, we now match Windows and Mac qualities. Please read our Patents page to learn more about some issues when using the interpreter.
- For those who dont need or want to use the bytecode interpreter for TrueType fonts, we developed our own automatic hinter module. It is also used by other scalable formats.
- FreeType 2 provides information that is often not available from other similar font engines, like kerning distances, glyph names, vertical metrics, etc..
- Due to its modular design, its easy to enhance the library to provide additional format-specific information through optional APIs (as an example, an optional API is provided to retrieve SFNT tables from TrueType and OpenType fonts).
- FreeType 2 provides its own caching subsystem since release 2.0.1. It can be used to cache either face instances or glyph images efficiently.

libnjb is a C library and API for communicating with the Creative Nomad JukeBox and Dell DJ digital audio players under Linux, BSD, Mac OS X and Windows.
The protocol these devices use is presumably called PDE (Portable Digital Entertainment protocol) at Creative. Newer devices using the Microsoft MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) are NOT supported.
There are no kernel devices required for libnjb:s operation, so instead it depends on user-level USB using libusb on all platforms. The following platforms are currently supported:
FreeBSD and NetBSD. FreeBSD is the primary development platform, though NetBSD users have successfully built and run the library and sample applications.
OpenBSD has not been tested, but if it uses the same USB stack as the other BSDs, then it should work fine.
Linux works fine. (Note that libusb also requires that users mount the usbdevfs filesystem, which everybody should have as default nowadays.)
MacOS X (Darwin) is also supported and works fine.
Solaris is supported through Sun:s own reimplementation of libusb.
Working Devices:
- Creative NOMAD Jukebox 1 (aka D.A.P.)
- Creative NOMAD Jukebox 2
- Creative NOMAD Jukebox 3
- Creative NOMAD Jukebox Zen
- Creative NOMAD Jukebox Zen USB 2.0
- Creative NOMAD Jukebox Zen NX
- Creative NOMAD Jukebox Zen Xtra
- Creative Zen Touch
- Creative Zen Micro
- Creative Zen Sleek
- Creative Zen
- Dell Digital Jukebox ("Dell DJ")
- Second Generation Dell DJ
- Dell Pocket DJ
NOT SUPPORTED:
- Creative Zen Portable Media Center
- Creative Zen MicroPhoto
- Any other MTP device
Newer devices have a 2.x MTP/PlaysForSure firmware upgrade - we do not support MTP so please dont install it!

XCard project is a is a French flashcard program.

Its used to help students memorize French words. It comes with several default word lists, ranging from verb lists, to vocabulary associated with airplane travel.

It has the capability to repeat lesser known words, graph a students progress, translate words to French, and to create new word lists.

It is deployed via Java Webstart, and can be run from the XCard homepage.

- Improved decoration code (no flickering anymore)
- Featuring side titles, including vertical text
- Powerful WindowShade in all directions, including diagonal
- Supporting PNG including alpha blending
- Image rendering in colorsets
- Perl library for creating modules in Perl
- New module FvwmPerl to enable scripting in rc files

SWTerm is a text-based ShipWars client that uses curses.

SWTerm is a non-graphical alternative to the XShipWars Client, allowing non-X users to connect to and play on ShipWars universes.

DrFTPD provides a distributed FTP daemon that uses a cluster of slaves for file transfers.
DrFTPD is an FTP server written in Java. It does not handle transfers in the same way that normal FTP servers do. Instead, it merges multiple FTP sites into one, creating a distributed FTP site/FTP cluster containing one master and many slaves/nodes.
When a client wants to transfer a file from DrFTPD, DrFTPD finds the slave which has the file, and tells the appropriate slave to transfer the file instead of handling it itself.
This allows huge gains in total bandwidth and disk capacity.
Main features:
- Free Software
- Plugins
- Uses file transfer slaves as explained above.
- Runs without root/administrator privileges.
- Stripes files across slaves.
- Slave selection based on used bandwidth.
- Archiving/mirroring plugin.
- In-memory filelist with cached checksums.
- Builtin zipscript
- Sitebot plugin using martyr included.
- User Trial plugin included.
- Slave stripes files across multiple roots (mountpoints)

GDM is the GNOME Display Manager is the graphical login manager.
The GNOME Display Manager is a reimplementation of the well known xdm program. GDM consists of a daemon and a graphical login application which runs as an unpriviledged user.
The login GUI features a face browser, an optional logo, and language/session type selection support. The daemon includes an XDMCP implementation for managing remote displays. Access control relies on TCPWrappers.
Whats New in 2.18.4 Stable Release:
- Fix for CVE-2007-3381, a denial of service attack where the user can crash the GDM daemon with a carefuly crafted GDM sockets command and cause GDM to stop managing future displays. GDM now is much better about safegarding against NULL values returned from g_strsplit calls. (Brian Cameron)
- Remove setting hints.ai_family != AF_INET6 to fix bug #455190. (Brian Cameron)
- Translation updates (Priit Laes)
