[Freetype] Re: [Devel] FT_Outline_Render and gradient fill

[Walker C]

Oh yes. It works.

Another way I am thinking: render outline directly with the AA functions in
ftgrays.c, It is something like libart.

walker.

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.
