[Lazarus] What are "widgets" in lazarus?

> FPC and Lazarus are, by and large, pretty simple to build. Middleware such as SDL can be far more difficult because it can turn out to have a cascade of requirements, and in the past I've found things like TrueType to be particularly painful.

Hi Mark,

Can you explain what your problems were with truetype? I'm using freetype for font rendering in the opengl backend but so far there were no main issues with the freetype bindings, apart from some issues (bugs?) in the fontmanager.
