Freetype Lands In... Microsoft Office? 212
phy_si_kal writes "Now Microsoft must love free software. Indeed, Office 2011 for Mac (beta 5 at least) uses Freetype! Somehow they figured out the free software 'clean room implementation' of their own (patented) TrueType technology must better suit their needs."

They're obviously using the Mac as their testbed - notice its also in a beta.
If its a success on the Mac, it'll make its way to Windows soon enough.
They wouldn't want to test it on Windows - if its a massive failure it'll hurt the Windows image... But not on a Mac!

Mac users shouldn't even be allowed to be citizens.
Simply owning an Apple product is a clear statement that a person has no concern for their own rights or the future of mankind.
No better than uneducated slaves, keep them in their cages to protect the true thinkers from their short-sited views.

Given that the context is desktop software, you have a very strange idea for the term "recent".

Mac ports have been second class citizens for no less than 15 years. In computing terms, 15 years is not "recently."

Indeed. Another way to write a flame baiting title for TFS here would be "Mac text rendering sucks so much that Microsoft uses Freetype instead" ~
