[Freetype] Font Units

[Bertrand Chagny]

Hi,

 

I am trying to compare glyph metrics

 

retrieved with FreeType and data in an original AFM file

 

and I don't find the same value for the letter A for example.

 

 

charcode1 = 65

left = FT_Get_Char_Index( face, charcode1 );

FT_Load_Glyph( face, left, FT_LOAD_NO_SCALE );

 

face->glyph->metrics.witdh

 

Width of the character

FreeType = 176

Afm file   =  204

 

Could you help me to understand the difference ?

 

Thanks.
