Its easier said than done. The renderers do not see all load_flags but only the 4-bit (0-5 actually) render_mode enum. I can pass the FT_LOAD_BITMAP_METRICS_ONLY flag to FT_Render_Glyph at bit 5 or above to force the renderers to bail once the bitmap metrics are set. Can I set a bits in enum? This technically changes the type from FT_Render_Mode to int. Unfortunately, the enum persists deep inside. Any other ideas? _______________________________________________ Freetype-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-devel
