[ft-devel] Free type font - query

[Poornima]

Hi,

Thanks for your suggestions for improving the smoothness of the font.

We have got the output display in LCD monitor by using the freetype-2.3.11
with example1.c with blurred outline.

Regarding the demo code containing gamma corrections, we could not see the
bitmap information when we run it as standalone. Do we need to integrate the
related files in demo code to already existing project, as the gamma
correction related files are missing in freetype-2.3.11?

When we use resolution more than 72 in FT_Set_Char_Size, the received bitmap
width/height exceeds the mentioned width/height but blurring level gets
reduced.

Can u please suggest for any improvements to get the bitmap within the
mentioned width/height.
 

Thanks and Regards,
Poornima.

First of all, please NEVER send images in BMP format!  They are
ridiculously large: What you've sent has a size of 2.2MByte.  If you
convert this to PNG format, it just takes 16kByte.  Maybe this is the
reason for the email delivery failure...

Please try the email list again for more questions.

I don't have time currently to look at it.  Please check our demo
programs, especially ftdiff and ftview, for details.

Just a general remark: If you display white images on black
background, you have to adjust the gamma values to get smoother edges.
