Hi,
I am using Freetype to load a font face from memory (FT_New_Memory_Face), and 
then render this using OpenGL ES. I render using glVertexPointer and 
glDrawArrays. glVertexPointer is passed the vertices of where I want each 
character to be displayed.
When drawing a string (versus just a single character), I have to account for 
how much space each subsequent character is shifted over by. I wanted to know 
if using FT_Bitmap::width (i.e. the bitmap width of the previous character in 
the string) is a suitable value to use for this purpose? (When I try this, it 
looks okay for the most part, though maybe not perfect). Or, should I be using 
FT_GlyphSlot::advance.x (for horizontal spacing) instead for this purpose?

Thanks!LB
