Re: [ft] Rendering to a pre-allocated buffer

[Ivan Hamer]

My apologies. What I wrote in the first sentence seems to had been munged up.

When rendering a glyph, Freetype seems to allocate it's own bitmap (FT_GlyphSlot.bitmap). I would like it to use an already allocated bitmap (with given fixed size). That way, I could avoid a copy from FT_GlyphSlot.bitmap to my bitmap.

Thanks a lot, Werner.

I don't fully understand what you are writing.  If necessary, please
reformulate.

For direct rendering into an external buffer you should have a look at
Róbert Márki's demo:
