RE: [ft] serialize an outline Glyph and send it

[Matteo Lanzi]

for the moment i have used the code by Werner Lemberg in the example 3 and I rasterize it manully.

Now the questions are:

1-      Antialias doesn’t seem to be applied even if I used  “bmp.pixel_mode = FT_PIXEL_MODE_GRAY;”. First of all to use it I had to uncomment a macro in the rasterizer.h (which was not explained in the tutorial)  but if you see the attached result you can’t see any antialias

2-      Is it possible to rasterize in the same way of Werner Lemberg’ example, but with ClearType?

Subject: [ft] serialize an outline Glyph and send it

 

Hi, i would like to serialize an outline glyph and send it to a client; than rasterize it in the client side which has not that face.

For the moment I tried to serialize only the ft_outline of the FT_OutlineGlyphRec structure, than I tried to create an empty glyph and initialize it with a new library, but it doesn’t seem to work. I also send almost all of the root part of the glyph except for clazz and library.

 

Which are the mandatory part of the outline to rasterize it? Is possible to rasterize and transform a glyph starting from its outline?

 

thanks

Matteo
