RE: [Devel] FT_Outline_Copy

[Graham Asher]

Scott,

your criticisms of FT_Outline_Copy are really a coded plea for the
conversion of FreeType to C++ ;-)

I have long argued for this without any success at all, but I have been able
to take parts of FreeType and turn them into C++, including writing a proper
outline class that overcomes all the ownership problems. The proof of the
pudding is in the eating, and I have been eating a far more appetising
pudding, and one that is moreover easier to cook, for a while. New code
using (carefully designed) classes takes about half the time to write
compared to C. Bugs caused by object ownership or lifetime just don't
happen.

Best regards from a fellow sufferer.
