Grayscale:  Subpixel: 

@Luflosi when rendering using `FT_RENDER_MODE_LCD` FreeType produces either RGB or BGR depending on the fontconfig configuration. I haven't tested it thoroughly thou. Also, it might be worth adding support for...

I started working on adding support for `LCD_V`. It requires a bit of work, as the resulted bitmap is thrice the height of the actual image, so `rows` is no...

@kovidgoyal well, I find out that some additional work needed for regular LCD, as there are some places in the code where we use that bitmap is grayscale. Also, I...

Hi! Sorry, I was a bit busy with my life. By the way, I implemented the support for vertical alignment and fixed some places, where it was implicitly assumed that...

I didn't use transparent background, so I forgot to test it. From what I see, it should be something easy to fix. I'll look into it later. On Fri, May...

@kovidgoyal but is it possible to use Freetype on macOS (an optional switch maybe).

Turns out, it's nearly impossible to implement transparency accurately, at least without rewriting much of the rendering (see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33507617/blending-text-rendered-by-freetype-in-color-and-alpha , for example). @kovidgoyal could you help me with this short...

I rebased my branch against current master because I personally use this patch as a daily driver.

@kovidgoyal Freetype provides alpha channel per color for each pixel separately. I'm blending the foreground and the background using `mix`: for a non-transparent background it's as simple as `mix(background, foreground,...
