Suzuki,
Thank you for the quick answer.
FT_Outline_Decompose seems to be exactly what I need. Actually, I deal with
the FXG file format, a close relative to SVG. But I do process the curves
before saving them.
Now I assume I have to code the generation of the outlines from the given
string. There are the issues of spacing, alignment, ASCII code to glyph
number... Is that also built-in ?
If your code shows how to accomplish that, for sure I'd be glad to look at
it.
Yves

Subject: Re: [ft] Text outline rendering
Hi Yves,
To retrieve the vector data from TTF via FreeType2, FT_Outline_Decompose()
function would be useful. Giving a function pointer table calling the
functions to move currentpoint, or to draw straight, cubic or conic curves,
FT_Outline_Decompose()
calls them to trace the vector data in the "outline" member in glyph slot.
I've ever written a small sample making SVG by calling
FT_Outline_Decompose().
If you want, I will send it.

I mean I have text strings, font information (TTF), possible geometric
transforms, and I need to generate the corresponding outlines in vector form
(sequences of Bezier arcs, so just lists of control point coordinates; I
don't need the rendered bitmap).
