I think my comment cause more trouble then bitmap trouble ;).. Well those comments are for myself Im a beginner and don't want to miss out anything. Sorry for the trouble.
I cannot send you the real program. But this is based on the tutorial step-1. The addition is only that...image buffer is copied to print buffer. I also tried similar code as of John Churchill Subject: [Freetype] Distorted characters Date: Fri, 23 Aug 2002 02:24:20 -0700 (PDT) void InitFont() { FT_UInt index; FT_GlyphSlot slot; int pitch, start; unsigned char *bitmap, i; if ( FT_Init_FreeType(&Library) ) { printf("Failed to init freetype.\n"); exit(1); } if ( FT_New_Face(Library, "/arial.ttf", 0, &face) ) printf("Unable to load font.\n"); if ( FT_Set_Char_Size(face, 0, 22*64, 300,300) ) printf("Unable to set character size.\n"); for (i = 'A'; i < 'A' + 4; i++) { index = FT_Get_Char_Index(face, i); if ( FT_Load_Glyph(face, index, FT_LOAD_DEFAULT) ) printf("Unable to load glyph face.\n"); if ( FT_Render_Glyph(face->glyph, ft_render_mode_mono) ) printf("Unable to render glyph\n"); slot = face->glyph; pitch = slot->bitmap.pitch; bitmap = (unsigned char *) malloc(slot->bitmap.rows * pitch); if (bitmap == NULL) { printf("Out of memory.\n"); free(bitmap); FT_Done_FreeType(Library); exit(1); } memset(bitmap, 0, slot->bitmap.rows * pitch); for (start=0; start < slot->bitmap.rows; start++) memcpy(bitmap + pitch * start,slot->bitmap.buffer + start * pitch, pitch); } /*Cpying bitmap to print buffer*/ free(bitmap); } FT_Done_FreeType(Library); } This code works for me and giving me proper and all characters without any garbage. Please comment where Im wrong in first code. _______________________________________________ Freetype mailing list Freetype@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype
