Re: [Freetype] Windows code displaying garbage - any help?

[Jason C. Weaver]

I can certainly go through that exercise but it just seems that the process of 
converting a
FreeType bitmap to a Windows bitmap would be well documented somewhere.  Either 
that or that
someone would have provided a simple example by now.  If someone has documented 
this or there is a
simple example I would surely appreciate someone letting me know where it is.  
It would save me a
great deal of time and halt the continued frustration with this integration 
effort.

Thanks for any more information.
Chris
