Hi everyone
It only took me a few minutes and a dozen WTHs, and WTFs to understand it.
:)
Basically, this guy has the following problems:
1) He doesn't understands that the only way to open/render a font using FT
is to provide the full filename. He would like to open fonts by specifying
their family name, and their style. On windows he can enumerate the active
font families, but he won't get their filenames.
The easiest way to find the location of the installed font files is to look
up them in the registry. ("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts")
2) I didn't understood the first part, but it might be a kerning or open
type layout related problem (it should be handled by a different library
like Harfbuzz). The second part, the problem that text rendered with FT is
not the same size as text rendered with GDI might be a DPI related problem.
The horizontal and vertical resolution must be set to the correct value when
he calls FT_Set_Char_Size.
3) Read the answer for the 1st question.
