RE: Wrong outlines?

[Boris Letocha]

Hi!

It is not problem of renderers. It is problem if I want to do something with outline - calc intersections with other polygons, etc.

Now I working to improve my polygon operations to handle also this "problems".

It is not problem - I think that it only slows down things a little.

Also this things can be avoided after FreeType. But maybe inside of FreeType. As far I understood your answer it is problem of Times and not FT.

BTW: I use grayscale renderer also for monochrome rendering (128>=gray -> 1 gray<128 -> 0).
So I don't need monochrome renderer.
