[ft-devel] help on FreeType2 with SDL

[Ken Leung]

Dear experts,

I am trying to use freetype2 on SDL by implementing a very simple program 
(almost follow closely to the tutorial your website provide), but I couldn't 
get any text displayed on the screen.

I used FT_Load_Char to load a character, and try to put the bitmap on the 
SDL surface and display it, but I couldn't do it...

Is there a way that I can make sure the bitmap I got from FT_LOAD_Char 
function is really a character?

or can any expert give me an example on putting the text bitmap with the SDL 
function: SDL_CreateRGBSurfaceFrom(pixels, width, height, depth, pitch, 
Rmask, Gmask, Bmask, Amask)
because I really can't find any example that use FreeType library on SDL on 
the web.

thanks in advance,

Ken
