Branch: CURRENT, Version: 2.13.2nb1, Package name: freetype2-2.13.2nb1, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

FreeType is a portable, high-quality software solution for digital
typography. FreeType 1.3.1 was the last release of the FreeType 1
engine, as the project is now switching to a new version dubbed FreeType
2. It has, among other things, several advantages over FreeType 1:

* A universal and simple API to manage font files
* Support for several font formats through loadable drivers
* Even more portable
* An improved anti-aliasing algorithm

Log message:
*/builtin.mk: Use ${_CROSS_DESTDIR:U} for build-time file checks.

These are questions about the target system, whose files at
build-time are all relative to ${_CROSS_DESTDIR} if it is defined,
i.e., if USE_CROSS_COMPILE is set to yes.

No change to native builds because ${_CROSS_DESTDIR:U} is empty in
them.  (Possible minor change by adding :Q to ${H_FOO} in command
lines, but if this makes a difference it likely fixes problems.)

Log message:
freetype2: bump PKGREVISION for optional brotli

The old binary package did not have a brotli option, so all packages
that include the buildlink3.mk will now mis-detect that brotli was
disabled (since the buildlink3.mk checks for the brotli option).

Addresses PR 57693.

Log message:
freetype2: Make brotli support optional, but enabled by default.

brotli is quite a heavy dependency compared to freetype itself on
weaker systems, especially those using old C++ compilers.

And it's only used for certain web fonts.

FreeType 2.13.1

This is a maintenance release with only minor changes, for example, a new load \ 
flag FT_LOAD_NO_SVG to ignore glyphs in an SVG SFNT table, or a new function \ 
FT_Get_Default_Named_Instance to get the index of the default named instance of \ 
an OpenType Variation Font.
