[ft] Text outline rendering

[Yves Daoust]

 

                Hi All,

 

I am new to FreeType.

 

I am involved in a project where text needs to be rendered in vector form. I mean I have text strings, font information (TTF), possible geometric transforms, and I need to generate the corresponding outlines in vector form (sequences of Bezier arcs, so just lists of control point coordinates; I don’t need the rendered bitmap).

 

After a first search in the documentation, I am convinced that all the required machinery is there but I want to be sure this is feasible. If yes, where can I start ?

 

Regards,
