[Fonts] Help about font driver in FreeType
hello, I'm a newbie. I'm confused by a freetype font driver. Wish you can help me ! I had wrotten a font driver through Freetype 2.1.3, which served as my own private style outline fonts. Then I used "make" and "make install" and then use "startx" to open KDE and found my fonts's name have been shown in font lists of some applications such as Kworld, kcalc, that's ok. but things happed that the application can't display strings using my fonts which I choose from font lists! Who can give me an explian about this? And I'm confused by the fowlling questions: As I knowed that there are freetype's share lib in directory /usr/lib, but when you start x using "startx", X also load "libfreetype.a" in other directory such as /usr/lib/X11/modules/fonts/. I want to know that which freetype be called when I display a string in the KDE's application. who can give me a flowchart about this call?

If you need a TrueType font, why do you want to make it from a bitmap font? Can't you find an existing TrueType font that meets your needs? If not, I might help. There are some people who have successfully wasted everyone's time on converting bitmaps to outlines, so it's very possible to do, but I'd rather help you make good outlines from the ground up or from public domain outlines.
