          <p>The FreeType project wants to become part
              of <a href="https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/">Google
              Summer of Code</a>.  Here is our ideas list.</p>

            <dt>Improve fuzzing for FreeType</dt>
            <dd>
              <p>Description will follow.</p>

              <p><em>Difficulty: </em>medium.  <em>Requirements:</em>
                C, C++, Unix build tools.  <em>Potential mentors:</em>
                Kostya Serebryany (Google), Werner Lemberg
                (FreeType).</p>
            </dd>
          </dl>
          <dl>
            <dt>Develop a test framework for checking FreeType's
              rendering output</dt>
            <dd>
              <p>Right now, FreeType's rendering results of the
                current development version are not systematically
                compared to a baseline version.  This is problematic,
                since rendering regressions can be very easily missed
                due to subtle differences.</p>

              <p>The idea is to select a representative set of
                reference fonts from font corpora (which already exist
                mainly for fuzzing).  The fonts are used to produce
                glyph images for various sizes and rendering modes
                (anti-aliased, B/W, native hinting, auto-hinting,
                etc.).  FreeType can already produce MD5 checksums of
                glyph images as part of its debugging output; these
                values should be compared against a baseline version
                of rendering results.  If there are differences, HTML
                pages should be generated that contain comparison
                images of the baseline's and the current development
                version's rendering result, ideally indicating how
                large the differences between the images are by using
                some yet to be defined measure.</p>

              <p><em>Difficulty:</em> medium.  <em>Requirements:</em>
                C, Unix build tools.  <em>Potential mentors:</em>
                Werner Lemberg, Alexei Podtelezhnikov, Toshiya Suzuki
                (FreeType).</p>
