Hello Behdad, Jim, *> I see that in your implementation you are converting cubics to quadratic spline. That makes a lot of sense and I support that.*
Is it better to split the cubic bezier into quadratic one? why? Currently I am using Newton-Raphson's iteration to find the closest point on cubic curves, which is a bit slow but works well and produces accurate results. (https://imgur.com/QSGCoIj) *> I think we do want a 8bit representation at least, and possible a higher one. * Currently I am using 32bit floats, but since freetype doesn't use floats I am thinking of using 32bit 16.16 fixed point instead. The problem with 16.16 is that most of the bits in the integer part will not be used because I am normalizing the values between [-1.0, 1.0] before outputting the data. The whole fixed point thing is pretty new to me, so any suggestions will be greatly helpful. Thanks in advance, Anuj
