The FreeType Project LICENSE
----------------------------
2006-Jan-27
Copyright 1996-2002, 2006 by
21
background
David Turner, Robert Wilhelm, and Werner Lemberg
Introduction
============
The FreeType Project is distributed in several archive packages; some of them may contain, in addition to
the FreeType font engine, various tools and contributions which rely on, or relate to, the FreeType Project.
This license applies to all files found in such packages, and which do not fall under their own explicit
license. The license affects thus the FreeType font engine, the test programs, documentation and
makefiles, at the very least.
This license was inspired by the BSD, Artistic, and IJG (Independent JPEG Group) licenses, which
all encourage inclusion and use of free software in commercial and freeware products alike. As a
consequence, its main points are that:
o We don't promise that this software works. However, we will be interested in any kind of bug reports.
(`as is' distribution)
o You can use this software for whatever you want, in parts or full form, without having to pay us.
(`royalty-free' usage)
o You may not pretend that you wrote this software. If you use it, or only parts of it, in a program, you
must acknowledge somewhere in your documentation that you have used the FreeType code. (`credits')
We specifically permit and encourage the inclusion of this software, with or without modifications, in
commercial products.
We disclaim all warranties covering The FreeType Project and assume no liability related to The FreeType
Project.
Finally, many people asked us for a preferred form for a credit/disclaimer to use in compliance with this
license. We thus encourage you to use the following text:
"""
Portions of this software are copyright © <year> The FreeType
Project (www.freetype.org). All rights reserved.
"""
Please replace <year> with the value from the FreeType version you actually use.
Legal Terms
===========
0. Definitions
--------------
Throughout this license, the terms `package', `FreeType Project', and `FreeType archive' refer to the set
of files originally distributed by the authors (David Turner, Robert Wilhelm, and Werner Lemberg) as the
`FreeType Project', be they named as alpha, beta or final release.
`You' refers to the licensee, or person using the project, where `using' is a generic term including
compiling the project's source code as well as linking it to form a `program' or `executable'.
This program is referred to as `a program using the FreeType engine'.
22
background
This license applies to all files distributed in the original FreeType Project, including all source code,
binaries and documentation, unless otherwise stated in the file in its original, unmodified form as
distributed in the original archive.
If you are unsure whether or not a particular file is covered by this license, you must contact us to verify
this.
The FreeType Project is copyright (C) 1996-2000 by David Turner, Robert Wilhelm, and Werner Lemberg.
All rights reserved except as specified below.
1. No Warranty
--------------
THE FREETYPE PROJECT IS PROVIDED `AS IS' WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY
AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. IN NO EVENT WILL ANY OF THE AUTHORS OR
COPYRIGHT HOLDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES CAUSED BY THE USE OR THE INABILITY
TO USE, OF THE FREETYPE PROJECT.
2. Redistribution
-----------------
This license grants a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual and irrevocable right and license to use, execute,
perform, compile, display, copy, create derivative works of, distribute and sublicense the FreeType Project
(in both source and object code forms) and derivative works thereof for any purpose; and to authorize
others to exercise some or all of the rights granted herein, subject to the following conditions:
o Redistribution of source code must retain this license file (`FTL.TXT') unaltered; any additions, deletions
or changes to the original files must be clearly indicated in accompanying documentation. The copyright
notices of the unaltered, original files must be preserved in all copies of source files.
o Redistribution in binary form must provide a disclaimer that states that the software is based in part of
the work of the FreeType Team, in the distribution documentation. We also encourage you to put an URL
to the FreeType web page in your documentation, though this isn't mandatory.
These conditions apply to any software derived from or based on the FreeType Project, not just the
unmodified files. If you use our work, you must acknowledge us. However, no fee need be paid to us.
3. Advertising
--------------
Neither the FreeType authors and contributors nor you shall use the name of the other for commercial,
advertising, or promotional purposes without specific prior written permission.
We suggest, but do not require, that you use one or more of the following phrases to refer to this software
in your documentation or advertising materials: `FreeType Project', `FreeType Engine', `FreeType library',
or `FreeType Distribution'.
As you have not signed this license, you are not required to accept it. However, as the FreeType Project
is copyrighted material, only this license, or another one contracted with the authors, grants you the right
to use, distribute, and modify it.
Therefore, by using, distributing, or modifying the FreeType Project, you indicate that you understand and
accept all the terms of this license.
4. Contacts
23
background
-----------
There are two mailing lists related to FreeType:
Discusses general use and applications of FreeType, as well as future and wanted additions to the library
and distribution.
If you are looking for support, start in this list if you haven't found anything to help you in the
documentation.
Discusses bugs, as well as engine internals, design issues, specific licenses, porting, etc.

Cautions, Limitations, and Restrictions (PosterArtist)
PosterArtist is subject to the following restrictions. Keep these points in mind.
System Requirements
Access our website for products supporting PosterArtist.
The functions that can be used and the items that can be configured vary depending on your scanner or
printer.
This guide primarily refers to the Windows 10 operating system (hereafter, Windows 10) interface.
Apply the latest Windows Update.
Restrictions on Using PosterArtist Lite
PosterArtist Lite has the following limitations compared to PosterArtist (Production Version).
The following functions are not available.
Auto Design
Guide, Grid, and Ruler
Variable Print
Some functions of Retouch Image
Artwork Security Settings (settings for usage period and editing restrictions)
Ambient Light Correction
Design Check
Design Assist
Quick Exchange
Saving and updating of Artwork Snapshots
PosterArtist Lite contains fewer pieces of artwork than PosterArtist (Production Version).
This guide describes how to use PosterArtist (Production Version).
Usage Restrictions
You must log on to Windows as an administrator before the installation.
Please check the following points before installing this software.
1. Shut down all other open applications.
2. If a document is currently being printed out, then cancel printing or wait until printing ends.
3. Check that the printer driver required by the target printer has been installed.
If the installer screen is not displayed, double-click the CD-ROM icon in Computer, and then double-click
"presetup.exe".
Colors are preset in clipart, photo frames, and text graphics. If a color cannot be changed, then the control
for changing that color is disabled.
Resizing clipart in the horizontal or vertical direction using (Resize handle) may cause partial
deformation of the clipart.
35
background
The printed result may differ from the monitor display if you select a square paper format created with the
Custom Paper Size function of the printer driver and then print in cut sheet mode. In such cases, resize
one of the sides by 0.1 mm or more to form a rectangle, and then try printing again.
In some cases, it may take some time to import posters created in PosterArtist 1.x.
In some cases, layout of posters created in PosterArtist 1.x may not appear correctly when importing the
file.
In some cases, the italicized and bold fonts of posters created in PosterArtist 1.x may not appear correctly
when the data is imported.
With some fonts, the effect of italics may not be apparent.
Vertical text in certain fonts may be truncated or misaligned. (For example, in the case of DynaFont of
DFG.)
Depending on the selected font type, text may be displayed outside the text box.
Depending on the selected font type, outlined text may not be displayed correctly.
In variable data print, if double-byte text is inserted to a text object created with single-byte text on a
poster, the result may not appear as expected. In that case, change the font type to one that will correctly
display the text.
Printing cannot be performed via a print server.
If you delete artwork on the Artwork Manager screen while an installer for other software is running, the
artwork may not be deleted correctly. Thus, before deleting artwork, make sure no installers for other
software are running.
Artwork can be copied from the Artwork Manager dialog box; however, copies of artwork with a lock icon
cannot be deleted.
Administrator rights are needed in order to delete artwork in Artwork Manager.
When importing poster data that has been created using PosterArtist, a warning message will appear for
data containing library images that are not provided with PosterArtist Lite. The images will not appear on
the poster.
Some of the templates on the PosterArtist template download page use content (images) that is not
included in PosterArtist Lite. If you download any of these templates, a warning message will appear and
its content (images) will not appear on the template.
When importing poster data that has been created using PosterArtist, poster data for which a variable
data print has been specified will be handled as normal poster data. When you save the poster data, the
link to the variable data will be lost.
Data for large size paper may fail to print. If this occurs, try printing after performing the following.
Exit PosterArtist, and then open the properties for the printer you want to use.
Open the Layout tab, and then click the Special Settings button.
Deselect the Fast Graphic Process checkbox. After that, restart PosterArtist, and then try printing again.
When printing is finished, select the Fast Graphic Process checkbox again.
For some models, Minimal Margin Printing is displayed instead of Borderless Printing. When Minimal
Margin Printing is displayed, printouts will have slight margins on the left and right sides.
With Design Assist, created designs may include multiple copies of the same design depending on the
specified images and selected area.
Unicode supplementary characters (surrogate pairs) are not supported. If a Unicode supplementary
character is entered, "?" appears instead.
In a 64-bit version OS environment, some functions may not be available.
36
background
Poster files created with or exported from PosterArtist version 3.0 or later cannot be opened in earlier
versions of PosterArtist.
If a message prompting you to update the root certificate appears at startup of an application, connect to
the Internet, and then restart the application.
In an environment where you cannot connect to the Internet, obtain and apply an "Update for Root
Certificates" of Microsoft.
In environments where the 64-bit version of Microsoft Office 2007 or later is installed on a 64-bit version
OS, you may not be able to use xlsx or other formats as database files for variable printing.
In that case, the files can be used by converting them to xls format or CSV format.
Supported File Formats
Supported file formats are as follows.
JPEG
TIFF (without LZW compression)
BMP
PNG
SVG
WMF/EMF
JPEG and TIFF images are inserted as images in the sRGB color space. TIFF and PNG images are
processed as 8-bit images. SVG images do not appear correctly depending on the embedded commands.

For details, see Large-Format Printing.
How Can I Print Without Borders?
The following two methods are available for borderless printing.
Printing Borderless Posters Filling the Entire Roll Paper Width
Printing Without Borders on Three Sides
Depending on your model, you will need to prepare roll paper whose width and paper type support
borderless printing. For information on paper that supports borderless printing, click Home to return to the
top page of the Online Manual for your model and search for "Paper Sizes." Borderless printing is not
available for cut sheets.
Note
For some models, Minimal Margin Printing is displayed instead of Borderless Printing. When Minimal
Margin Printing is displayed, printouts will have slight margins on the left and right sides.
How Can I Use the Variable Printing Function?
To use the variable printing function, prepare tabular data in Excel format (.xls, .xlsx, .xlsm, or .xlsb) or in
CSV format (.csv).
For details, see Using Variable Printing.
How Can I Print by Rotating Posters 90 Degrees?
To print filling the entire roll paper width, in the
Paper Options screen, select Fit Long Side to Roll Width
(for vertical posters) or Fit Short Side to Roll Width (for horizontal posters).
331
background

Area, and then print.
When Printing Entire Poster Within Printable Area
What Is the Ambient Light Setting?
Ambient light color and brightness vary by environmental factors such as location (indoors or outdoors)
or lighting (fluorescent or incandescent). Therefore the same poster may appear different depending on
where it is displayed.
Use the ambient light setting functions to adjust colors automatically according to the environment to
visually enhance the poster's color tones.
