Hello.

IVM> gsft is a bridge from gs to FreeType, right ?

Not exactly.  gsft replaces the Ghostscript fill algorithm with the
FreeType scan-line converter when filling paths generated by
interpreting characters.

The monochrome scan-line converter of FreeType performs drop-out
control, and results in an increased screen readability.  

Ghostscript font machinery is left untouched.

Regards,
-francesco
