Re: [Freetype] Rendering Fonts to Bitmap

[Peter Montgomery]

Dexter,

    I lost your original post, so I can't check the code.  However,
another "fun" part of dealing with Windows bitmaps is that each scanline
needs to be padded to the nearest multiple of 32 bits.  So, if you have
a 256 color bitmap (8 bits per pixel) that is 3 pixel wide, each
scanline needs to be stored in scanline that is 4 pixels wide.  Are you
meeting this criteria?

    Thanks,
    PeterM
