I’ve figured out the answer to this at least - by replacing FT_Glyph_Stroke with FT_Glyph_StrokeBroker with inside set to 0. I guess I’m just curious about the relationship between the stroked shape and the unstroked glyph. If the radius of a stroke is not centred around the outline of the unstroked glyph, then what determines what it is centred around? > On 18 Jan 2025, at 12:03 am, Andrew Murray <radarh...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi, > > Over at Python Pillow, a user has reported a gap between a regular rendering > of a font and a stroked rendering of a font - > https://github.com/python-pillow/Pillow/issues/8697 > > To visually demonstrate what I mean, a simpler Pillow script creates the > following image with Times New Roman.ttf on my macOS 15.2 machine - there is > a circle gap around the dot in the ‘I'. > > <out.png> > > I’ve attached stroke.c for a FreeType-only reproduction, and output.txt to > show what I see when I run the script - a simple rendering that shows that > the width of the dot in the ‘I’ is smaller in width than the hole created > when rendered with stroke. > > <stroke.c> > <output.txt> > > So, is this ‘gap’ expected behaviour from FreeType?
