RE: [Devel] FT_Outline_Render and gradient fill

[Boris Letocha]

Hi ...

First this question should go to freetype list and not to devel.

Also this is FAQ :-)

FreeType is "low" level library for font rasterizing, not drawing
library.

>From FreeType you will get black/white or grayscale bitmap of glyph and
than you have to combine this bitmap with gradient yourself. Pretty easy
job btw.
