One way I am considering is to use emboldening. Drawing a emboldening character in the bitmap buffer and erasing internal part with normal bitmap generated by ft2 engine.
Did your guys try that direction?

And if not, at least some way of getting the outline without having to load the glyph's vector shape and writing a bezier curve renderer myself. Can the glyph stroker be used for this purpose (FT_Glyph_Stroke)? Or FT_Outline_XXX? I'll have a look at ftview and do my homework. Thanks for the tip. _______________________________________________ Freetype mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype
