This is beyond the scope of freetype. Freetype does not create fonts.
There are various autotrace programs available * http://autotrace.sf.net/ * http://potrace.sf.net/ (perhaps others) which will take a bitmap image and produce a vector outline. There are other tools to take outlines and make fonts * http://fontforge.sf.net/ _______________________________________________ Freetype mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype
