RE: [ft] Questions with freetype

[Erik Möller]

Hi,

If I remember correctly the issue with that approach was that I couldn't
find a way to get a common coordinate system for the two images and hence
would get artifacts on some glyphs. The outlined glyph (sorry, should really
say stroked glyph to avoid confusion but old habits die hard) image is going
to have larger dimensions than the regular glyph image and how do you find
the "pivot" for both of them? The stroked version isn't necessarily an even
number of pixels wider and taller so you can't just use width/2 and
height/2.

Maybe one of the freetype guys can let us all know if there is a way? It
sure would make for a simper sample...though I'm pretty satisfied with 300
lines of code to interface with an open source library ;)

Thank you for taking so much time.

Here is my question: is it possible to do this WITHOUT using the span 
renderer callback? It seems that I could use Outline_Get_Bitmap and then 
combine it with the result from Glyph_to_Bitmap. Your thoughts?
