Re: [Freetype] freetype in OpenGL

Bertrand ,

    I am a C programmer who has had to use C++ libraries from time to
time.  I just changed my main file name from "filename.c" to
"filename.cpp" (I use VC++, hence the .cpp instead of .cc).  Pretty much
all of your standard C code will compile in C++ mode.  I used some
samples to write some C interfaces to the objects I had to use and
everything worked out.  I think that if I had to do it over again and
had a little more time, I would get a C++ book and try accessing the
objects directly.  I do a lot of programming in Delphi and routinely
call object methods and properties within a procedural programming
styles framework.  It may not be the best form, but it works just fine.

    Thanks,
    PeterM
