The original FreeType was written in Pascal and it has been resuscitated and placed in Lazarus.
Subversion
The new LazFreeType project is a part of Lazarus and is located in the directories:
lazarus/components/lazutils lazarus/lcl/easylazfreetypeintfdrawer.pas
The old source code of FreeType itself can be downloaded from the lazarus-ccr in:
lazarus-ccr/components/freetypepascal
Example applications
Located in the Lazarus SVN
lazarus/examples/lazfreetype/lazfreetypetest.lpi
One needs to place a font Arial.ttf in the same directory as the executable or else set a path in the lazarus/examples/lazfreetype/mainform.pas unit to the font to use.
