Let's go through every single package installed with a Linux install image. I'm going through the software included with Slackware, but these are all open source applications and libraries, so whether you're running Slackware like me or Fedora, Debian, BSD, or even Mac or Windows, you can probably download, install, and try these on your computer. So chances are, you'll be able to learn something from this podcast. Let's get started. This is the final episode, I hope, of the L section. We'll see if that works out. I'm gonna try to do this. T1lib. That's Type 1 Font Rasterizer Library. It's a library donated by IBM a long time ago to the X11 project, and it takes Adobe Type 1 fonts and generates character and string glyphs from that specification. It's why you can just drop in a Type 1 font, whatever that is, TTF, I don't know, and have a font appear on your screen. That is exactly why. So that's an exciting thing. Next is Taglib. It is an audio metadata library. It reads and edits (1/45)
