[ft] Glyph Advance when using the Image Cache

[Moore, Thomas C1]

I'm working on writing a font system that utilizes FreeType2, but I'm runnin ginto a problem when using the Image Cache to cache my glyphs.

 

If I bypass the image cache and just use FT_Load_Glyph, then the glyphs are correctly loaded in the the GlyphSlot. However, when I use FTC_ImageCache_Lookup, the advance vector in the glyph does not appear to be set correctly. For example, when using a size 22 Arial font, the asvance.x = 917504, and advance.y = 0. When I use FT_Load_Glyph, I get a more reasonable value of advance.x = 896. If you look at these numbers, 917504 / 896 = 1024, so I've noticed that if I copy the glyph I get from FTC_ImageCache_Lookup, then divide its advance.x by 1024, then it seems to work.

 

Any other ideas?

 

Thanks,
