Well, if you're using the same point size and DPI, you should get
the same pixel size. Unless you're not using the same font, we're
having a serious problem there !?

Huhuhu, sorry if the question sounds stupid, are you sure that
Windows uses 96 DPI ? I'd really like to see your source code
and test it on my machine..

Yes, it is explained in the "PATENTS" file I believe.
Basically, edit "include/freetype/config/ftoption.h"
and look for a line that reads:

#undef TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER

then, change the #undef into a #define. Recompile, you've
done it (and you're "truetype.o" module should be 20 Kb
larger).

Yes please :-)

See you,
