I went through the trouble of tweaking my 3rd party library to support rendering with FreeType...and the result was identical to when I extract the outlines with FreeType and render things myself! So I guess my font sucks? Where are the good fonts? Are there some example fonts with well defined properties floating around that I can test with? > Kaiti is a font for Chinese. Do you need this? Hmm...I don't know about that, it just got installed along with Photoshop and I grabbed it out of my Fonts folder and tried it with my code to see how it would perform with serifs (which I imagine require more hinting work?). > No, no, no!

Oh my...why did they make fonts so confusing? _______________________________________________ Freetype mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype
