What is Picture to People?

"Picture to People" (P2P) is a new, free, in development, software for image viewing, 2D drawing, retouching, authoring, composing, filtering, artistic effects and other image processing. It has been made from scratch, including a new platform independent GDI (the core) and several useful screen widgets. No libraries, no imports. At this moment, it's a Windows tool, but ports can come as the time goes. Initial native interface languages will be English and Portuguese, but it's just the beginning.

Font engine: example 1

Finally I can show some results about text drawing using only Picture to People software.

The text you see below was totally made with my own font rendering engine. For this, I have used two canonical fonts: "Arial" and "Times New Roman".

Realize the perfectly anti-aliased filling with no "blurred" appearance. I created a completely new robust algorithm for that with several important advantages. I tell more about that in future.

Despite its very professional quality, I will improve this library to very beyond a plain font engine.
