Re: [Freetype] Render with an outline

Rander in the color you like to an offscreen buffer, then BitBlt to the
destination image using one of the raster operations, for example XOR.

> HI!
> What I try to do is rendering small size character(10 or 12 points) on an
image. We can't know what's the image's color, so simply render string with
one color maybe hide the character in the background and make it difficult
to recognize.

(x+1, y-1), (x+1,y+1)  to draw an outline for the character. But I think it
will harm the efficiency.
