Hi, If I remember correctly the issue with that approach was that I couldn't find a way to get a common coordinate system for the two images and hence would get artifacts on some glyphs. The outlined glyph (sorry, should really say stroked glyph to avoid confusion but old habits die hard) image is going to have larger dimensions than the regular glyph image and how do you find the "pivot" for both of them? The stroked version isn't necessarily an even number of pixels wider and taller so you can't just use width/2 and height/2.
Maybe one of the freetype guys can let us all know if there is a way? It sure would make for a simper sample...though I'm pretty satisfied with 300 lines of code to interface with an open source library ;) Erik Möller, Timetrap http://www.timetrap.se http://www.emberwind.se -----Original Message----- From: Mickey Gabel [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: den 26 februari 2009 03:51 To: Erik Möller Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [ft] Questions with freetype On 26/02/2009 09:47, Erik Möller wrote: > Pseudo-code has never been my thing and it wasn't really practical to send > my font system, so here's 300 lines of fresh c++ source: > > http://www.timetrap.se/post_images/small_font_test.cpp > http://www.timetrap.se/post_images/small_font_test_output.png > > This is hopefully a to the point sample that shows how to render a colored > glyph with a differently colored outline to a memory buffer.

It seems that I could use Outline_Get_Bitmap and then combine it with the result from Glyph_to_Bitmap.
