Well, basically I meant passing some magical flag to Glyph_to_Bitmap and 
get the glyph outline rendered and anti-aliased (see Fan Zhang's image).
And if not, at least some way of getting the outline without having to 
load the glyph's vector shape and writing a bezier curve renderer myself.

Can the glyph stroker be used for this purpose (FT_Glyph_Stroke)? Or 
FT_Outline_XXX?
I'll have a look at ftview and do my homework. Thanks for the tip.
