Hello, We faced an issue while we were working on font manipulation code in evas.
We added a feature to transforms fonts to italic style on the fly through eng_font_draw(). Even we used a font which did not have italic style, output looks Italic style on the screen by tilting the fonts. But we faced a width size problem here. Because we tilted the font a little bit(then looks like Italic), the width of each font got bigger. So we need to update the font width information or the characters are clipped. Where to put this code? Anybody please give an advice. Once, we finish this, supporting bold font could be possible. Thanks.
