Greetings. I'm trying to render some glyphs from ttf font to svg image using gtk2hs cairo binding. Since I can find nothing appropriate in gtk2hs API, I decided to draw outlines with bezier curves myself. But how to get them out of font? As far as I know, freetype library is capable of extracting outlines, but is there any haskell binding for it which supports this functionality?
Here [1] one such lib was mentioned, but it wasn't availible online that time. Have situation changed today?
Thanks in advance

Hi Dmitry, I cannot help you directly with freetype. But I have developped a library that parses the svg-font format (this is not svg). Since svg-font is XML it is much easier to parse than ttf. There is also a program called fontforge that can be used to convert nearly every format into svg-font. The only problem is that currently triangulation has some bugs and is only O(n^2), the algorithm for deleting holes is not finished, and memoization isn't implemented. Should I upload the work although it is not finished?
