> Sorry for the late reply. No problem. In the meanwhile, I managed to make it work. I'm using FT_Outline_Translate(), though I'm still not sure if I'm supposed to pass the translation vector as pixels or font units. For the moment I'm using pixels, and looks like it's working fine. (To whoever will read this mail, remember to take into account bitmap_left when translating outlines, I've lost 3 days wondering why my subpixel positioning was worse than snapping glyphs to whole pixels!)
Since we are here, I would like to ask you some advice, if you don't mind :) This is the final result: https://i.postimg.cc/J7vmztrG/Schermata-del-2022-09-03-19-57-38.png Environment/settings: - 96 dpi - Noto Sans - FT_LOAD_TARGET_LIGHT | FT_LOAD_FORCE_AUTOHINT - FT_RENDER_MODE_NORMAL - 1.4 (faux) gamma correction - No round()/floor()/ceil() anywhere, except for floor()ing the final x position of glyphs quads in the vertex shader in order to apply subpixel positioning Personally, I think the text looks very good, especially considering I'm planning to avoid LCD subpixel rendering. My target is to reach a completely linear layout. I'm very close, some letters are still jumping around when there is more than 1 emoji on the same line. The reason why I added "faux" to gamma correction is that I'm elevating the final pixel alpha value to (1.0f / 1.4f) in the OpenGL fragment shader, which is before the pixel is automatically blended with the background color. Nonetheless, it think it is working good enough, at least the shapes are not as light and frail as when this correction is absent. What do you think of my approach so far? Do you see any room for improvement? Thanks again for your time. Valerio
