Hello,
I am using Freetype 2.3.9 to generate BDF Fonts from TrueType Fontfiles
with the help of the otf2bdf commandline tool by M. Leisher.
The Asterix sign " * ", 0x2A, from Arial Unicode MS degenerates in point size
10 @ 72 dpi to a 3x3 bitmap
showing only the lower two beams of the star looking like a pico-^.
It gets cropped at the top somewhere in or below ft_raster1_render().
Since neither the font nor size nor the character is uncommon, I am wondering
what I am missing.
Thanks in advance,
Kay Frensch
Codeoutline used for tests:
in lib:
#define TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER
/* #define TT_CONFIG_OPTION_UNPATENTED_HINTING */
in otf2bdf:
FT_Init_FreeType()
FT_New_Face()
FT_Set_Char_Size()
FT_Set_Charmap()
... lot of stuff to extract platform encodings and generate names for BDF
...
for (code = 0; code < 0xffff; code++)
{
FT_Get_Char_Index()
FT_Load_Glyph(face, idx, FT_LOAD_DEFAULT | FT_LOAD_TARGET_MONO)
FT_Render_Glyph(face->glyph, FT_RENDER_MODE_MONO)
}
