Vector fonts

Post by alfkil »

I'm looking for a way to get a 2d vector map of a set of glyphs (eg. a string) using just native libraries (not freetype). Ssolie has told me, that he knows it is possible but does not know how. How is it possible, may I ask?? The information in the autodocs regarding fonts are not very clear nor helpful.

Help!

I need to peek into the TypeManager code and get back to you on this one.

I have found the code which renders the glyphs and it uses the existing API.

That means no direct access to the vector descriptions. :(

That's too bad :-(. But thanks for checking.
