Hi, at the moment i am doing FT_Load_Glyph(face, ...) FT_Render_Glyph(slot, ...) int x = -slot->bitmap_left; int y = slot->bitmap_top; int w = slot->bitmap.width; int h = slot->bitmap.rows;
I would like to get a rough idea of x, y, w, h before calling FT_Render_Glyph so that if certain conditions are met i don't need to render the glyph What i have been doing is FT_Load_Glyph(face, ...) FT_Glyph_Metrics *glyphMetrics = &(face->glyph->metrics); int x = round(-glyphMetrics->horiBearingX / 64.0); int y = round(glyphMetrics->horiBearingY / 64.0); int w = round(glyphMetrics->width / 64.0); int h = round(glyphMetrics->height / 64.0); That code works fine for most of the fonts i tried but now i have encountered a case in which round(-glyphMetrics->horiBearingX / 64.0); is -2 and -slot->bitmap_left; is 26 So my question is, is my code totally wrong in the sense that what I am trying to calculate is not possible without actually rendering the glyph? Or is it possible and i'm just missing something in my "guessing" code?
