I'm personally looking at a more formalized polished solution based on: http://www.cgal.org/Manual/latest/doc_html/cgal_manual/Boolean_set_operations_2/Chapter_main.html#Subsection_19.4.3 -- Shriramana Sharma _______________________________________________ Freetype mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype
