GSoC has ended

Folks,


GSoC 2023 is over; a few days ago the last project has finished – all
FreeType students have passed :-)

We had three projects:

* Ahmet's code to improve 'ftbench' so that it can emit benchmarking
  test reports:

    https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype/freetype/-/tree/gsoc-2023-ahmet-final

* Anurag's code to port 'font-rs', an alternative rendering engine, to
  FreeType and compare it to the built-in rasterizer; and to convert
  some parts of FreeType's documentation to Markdown

    https://docs.google.com/document/d/14me6L4HEMnjBVFwOCjaBayRjQym-WK_RQuOJt7A3pCY/edit
    https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype/freetype/-/tree/gsoc-anurag-2023-final
    https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype/freetype/-/tree/gsoc-anurag-2023-docs-final

* Craig's auto-hinter code to implement a 'capabilities database' so
  that glyphs like the 'tilde' accent stay legible at smaller sizes:

I want to say thank you to Ahmet, Anurag, and Craig – it's great to
have people like you who want to help improve FreeType – and wish you
all the best for your future careers!
