Hi Werner, i tried like below: error = FT_Load_Glyph( face, glyph_index, FT_LOAD_NO_HINTING);
Family name of the font is --- Arial Style name of the font is --- Regular bbox = [-1 0 9 9] *Xmin is still negative. * Can you please provide me syntax if i am doing wrong in setting the flags.How can i do if i want a MONOCHROME,RENDERED and NO_HINTING glyph metrics?
