[OpenJDK 2D-Dev] Freetype font rasteriser

[Igor Nekrestyanov]

Hi Roman,

are you using latest binary plugs?
I believe this particular was recently added (b16 or b17) and it seems 
it was not pulled correctly.
Could it be that you were using old version of plugs?

These is no complete documentation yet.
Bits of available documentation are spread out as comments (sometimes 
large) in the sources.
It certainly will be nice to collect them in the single place as 
starting point for design description.
I can try to do this or someone else can help to prepare first draft and 
we will help to
fix it and fill gaps in the knowledge.
