I use simsun.ttf(宋體)，the upper is the image which use FreeType 2.0.9,and the lower is which I want to get. You can pass a negative strength value to the FT_Outline_Embolden. Does this work reliably, this is, does it respect a minimum thickness? Negative values might be worth mentioning then.

Hello, Werner LEMBERG a crit: I use simsun.ttf(宋體)，the upper is the image which use FreeType 2.0.9,and the lower is which I want to get. You can pass a negative strength value to the FT_Outline_Embolden. Does this work reliably, this is, does it respect a minimum thickness? Negative values might be worth mentioning then. Just like for positive thickness, it certainly doesn't work reliably past a certain threshold that heavily depends on the glyph being processed. Keep in mind that the emboldening/thinning algorithm doesn't change the number of points in the glyph, so certain corner cases like very acute angles or intersections are not going to be handled properly anyway. Apart from that, it should work ok for very small negative values, i.e. values that are much smaller than the average stem/stroke width within the glyph.

RE: [ft-devel] How can I do to make the font a little thin?
Thanks, I will try it. But when I build a test example, I got some Link errors: LINK : warning LNK4098: defaultlib LIBCMTD conflicts with use of other libs; use /NODEFAULTLIB:library FreeTypeD.lib(ftglyph.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _FT_Bitmap_Copy FreeTypeD.lib(ftglyph.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _FT_Bitmap_New FreeTypeD.lib(ftglyph.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _FT_Bitmap_Done What's the matter? I use VC++ 6. Thanks. Does this work reliably, this is, does it respect a minimum thickness? Negative values might be worth mentioning then.

RE: [ft-devel] How can I do to make the font a little thin?
Thanks everyone. I had tried the advice by Chia-I Wu, and I think it is available. I found the file ftbitmap.c is not added into the freetype.dsp. So when I build it, I got the errors: LINK : warning LNK4098: defaultlib LIBCMTD conflicts with use of other libs; use /NODEFAULTLIB:library FreeTypeD.lib(ftglyph.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _FT_Bitmap_Copy FreeTypeD.lib(ftglyph.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _FT_Bitmap_New FreeTypeD.lib(ftglyph.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _FT_Bitmap_Done ___ Freetype-devel mailing list Freetype-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-devel

I use simsun.ttf(宋体)，the upper is the image which use FreeType 2.0.9,and the lower is which I want to get. My resolution is 1024*768. Notice: For some reason, it has a little difficult using Freetype2.1.10 in my project, I must do a lot of change. -Original Message- From: Werner LEMBERG [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, February 11, 2006 6:37 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: freetype-devel@nongnu.org Subject: Re: [ft-devel] How can I do to make the font a little thin?

Re: [ft-devel] How can I do to make the font a little thin?
I use simsun.ttf(宋体)，the upper is the image which use FreeType 2.0.9,and the lower is which I want to get. How did you produce the lower string in the image? How does MS Windows render simsun.ttf (I don't have it, sorry)? With recent FreeType versions you might try the `light' rendering mode which normally gives comparable results to Windows rendering. Notice: For some reason, it has a little difficult using Freetype2.1.10 in my project, I must do a lot of change. Please explain. I still think that upgrading would be the best route for you.
