Re: 2.10.3 BW renderer changes

[Davide Rizzo]

Hi,

You're right.

I wrote a very simple test program to evidence the difference in the output.

I attach the program, the font we use (a standard arial.ttf) and the 
different outputs I obtain at size 58.

With freetype up to 2.10.2 I obtain the desired nice bitmap, with 
freetype since 2.10.3 (including the last 2.12.1) I obtain a different 
bitmap.

My question is if it's possible with some parameter to obtain the "old" 
bitmap with freetype 2.12.1.

Thank you

Davide Rizzo
