Re: [ft] Monochrome bitmaps uses two bytes??

[samaram s]

Attached is a sample glyphmono_bitmap.c,In which you can find the glyph data writing into a file called BitmapData_Mono, Show data reads and displays on screen.

Usage: <exename> <ttf filename> <char to get bitmap>

Though width is less than 8 bits you can find all the second bytes as zeros.

Thanks,

This is a good question for which I currently have no answer.  Please
post a minimal example which I can use for debugging.  Either there is
a bug somewhere or the documentation should be improved.
