Hi,
I'm new to truetype and I'm trying to display Font on an X11 window.
I've been fighting with tihs for a while now and I hope somebody on this
list can help me.
Following the tutorials i'm able to load a font and get the Bitmap, now
i'm trying to have it dispalyed on my X11 wondow,
I'm doing the folowwing cals (one per character)
bitmap=face->glyph->bitmap;
connect_id.display is my X11 display
visual my X11 visual
/* convert to an anti-aliased bitmap */
error = FT_Render_Glyph( face->glyph, FT_RENDER_MODE_NORMAL );
printf("rendered the glyph\n");
/* Shortcut */
bitmap=face->glyph->bitmap;
/* X-window attributes init */
dpy = ws->dpy;
win = ws->win;
gc = ws->textgc;
/* Get info about Display */
printf("Getting geometry thingy\n");
XGetGeometry(connect_id.display,connect_id.drawable,&root_return,&x,&y,&ww,&wh,&wbw,&wdepth);
/* Create the XImage */
ximage =
XCreateImage(connect_id.display,visual,wdpeth,ZPixmap,0,bitmap.buffer,w,h,16,0);
printf("created image,xloc,ylox: %i,%i\n",xloc,yloc);
/* And now put it on screen */
XPutImage(connect_id.display,connect_id.drawable,gc,ximage,0,0,xloc,yloc,w,h);
All i get are little black squares which seem to have the right
dimension for the bitmap.
my display depth is 16bit
the bitmap"pitch" is 8
the bitmap "pixel" is 2
i'm suspecting part of my problem is that I need to convert the
FT_Bitmap to some 16bit... Any idea on how to do that?
I looked into the ft2demo... Seems like there's a lot of blitter and all
involved, anybody can point me to some documentation on how to do this
blit/conversion ?
Thanks,
Charles.
