RE: [Devel] bitmap storage

[Feinberg, Matthew]

Actually, you shouldn't need to modify the engine.  There are a couple
of options:

-  Make a bigger bitmap than you need, so it aligns to 4 bytes, but when
you call BitBlt(), don't copy the whole bitmap, leave off the extra
pixels.

-  Allocate memory for a bitmap directly using GlobalAlloc() or malloc()
or whatever, have FreeType draw into that memory, then copy it into the
windows bitmap yourself using memcpy() once for each row.

-  I don't remember off the top of my head, but FreeType may allow you
to specify per-row padding in a bitmap for alignment purposes.

Hi,
as the stupid windoze-API "CreateDIBitmap" requires every row to be a
multiple of 4 bytes
I want to modify the engine according to this requirement.

My questions are the following:
* How big would the effort be?
* Where (exactly: which files, in which functions)would
I have to make the modifications?

cheers, alex
