I must admit that I've only superficially looked at both the FreeType
and your code -- in the ftview demo program, stroking seems to work as
expected, so I suggest that you compare your code with the stuff in
ftview.c (from the ft2demos package). If you still find problems or
bug please report it. It will probably take a longer time until we
respond, but your mails won't be forgotten.
