Hi,

Over at Python Pillow, a user has reported a gap between a regular rendering of 
a font and a stroked rendering of a font - 
https://github.com/python-pillow/Pillow/issues/8697

To visually demonstrate what I mean, a simpler Pillow script creates the 
following image with Times New Roman.ttf on my macOS 15.2 machine - there is a 
circle gap around the dot in the ‘I'.



I’ve attached stroke.c for a FreeType-only reproduction, and output.txt to show 
what I see when I run the script - a simple rendering that shows that the width 
of the dot in the ‘I’ is smaller in width than the hole created when rendered 
with stroke.



So, is this ‘gap’ expected behaviour from FreeType? I’d be surprised if was a 
bug.

If it is accepted behaviour, I don’t suppose there is a simple way to stroke 
text with a filled inside?

Thanks.
