Re: [ft-devel] Why is FT_Fixed a long instead of FT_Int32?

Thanks Alexei, good to know about FreeType sticking to C89, and that it should be ok to redefine.

Though I do see a FT_Int32 type defined in FreeType in ftconfig.h?

FreeType sticks to C89. Therefore it tries to rely on basic integer types. You will not find int32_t in FreeType.

Feel free to redefine FT_Fixed. It should work, but won’t be any faster.
