I’ve got a set of character bitmaps (256-graylevel
acquired from a camera image of a printed page) that I want to make into a
TrueType font, but I really just want to use the raw grayscale bitmaps, not
convert it into an outline font. But I still want the font to be scalable
(e.g. can be rendered at arbitrary rotation and/or scale). Is there a programmatic
way to do this using the FreeType library? Note that I don’t need
detailed glyph metrics (such as descenders), just the ability for the font to
be renderable.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Adam
