Re: [Freetype] Problem with Freetype on mac Os X

[SOULLARD Clement]

Thank you for your answer. I used freetype 2.1.7 It work better : The 
face->glyph->bitmap.width is no more 0 but c'est encore un peu bizarre.

The number of caracters after the font loading is different on Linux and Mac. And the glyph is different. 
I also suscribe the freetype developper mailing list, and a patch for the mac has just been send I will see if it fix something. And keep you informed. 

In response, to your second question, I don't know if it's the right place but 
The Music Editor is a very challenging soft to make because the conceptual 
object of music notation shall be very clear to stand the quite complex 
intelligence of the drawing.
If you are interested, my project is named Alternate-Take and is on 
sourceforge.net... But it's still a beautiful mess and very alpha !!
