FreeType is a very low-level library, which deals with little more than
rasterizing individual glyphs and calculating metrics for them. To
render entire lines of text, you need something a bit more high-level.
Supposing you are using Python. Then have a look at my set of Python
bindings for the main parts of the Linux typography stack:
* Qahirah <https://github.com/ldo/qahirah> -- my binding for the
Cairo graphics library
* python_freetype <https://github.com/ldo/python_freetype> -- my
binding for FreeType
* PyBidi <https://github.com/ldo/pybidi> -- my binding for the FriBidi
bidirectional layout library
* HarfPy <https://github.com/ldo/harfpy> -- my binding for the
HarfBuzz shaping library.
