Is FreeType needed?

[petrasvestartas]

Hi,

I would like to use OCCT without any thirdparty libraries, like a C++ project only.
Is freetype necessary?

I set up freetype like this:
-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/opt/homebrew/Cellar/freetype/2.13.3

What would happen if I skip this dependency? If I understand correctly, it is use for fonts only or not?

Hello, FreeType is used inside for generate of Glyph (symbols as a BRep) and processing of fonts.
IF you do not plan to generate a BRep from a Text or visualize text - then you don't need it.
