Re: [ft-devel] Need clarification on font cutoff

[madana gopal]

Hi,

I am not blaming, just trying to understand :). Could you please share the reason of why extra dots/lines came in older versions of freetype. Just I will think in same angle on our code what we could have done wrong in manipulation?. 

Thanks.

Regards,

Madan

Madana,

We need you to git bisect the bug, unless you can tell us how to reproduce it (share code and font, or steps using Freetype demo tools). There is no other way around it.

Looking at your edge artifacts, I can only speculate that your program deviates from API and tries to be too smart with bitmap dimensions or positions instead of just using what Freetype returns. You code is probably almost always right so you tend to blame Freetype, which is natural but wrong.
