Hi there,
I know Freetype is an open source library and I
don't want to bother you but I would appreciate an answer ;))
Well, I'm using FreeType2 library to read and
decode HP PCL files. Below is a render of what I get.
I've got 2 problems :
- The size of characters as set in the PCL file,
for example 12Cpi (12 character per inch) gives the exact contrary when used
with the FT_Set_Char_Size function.
I mean 10 Cpi is smaller than 12 Cpi - it should be
the contrary.
Therefore i use this method to have the proper
proportions:
ftError = FT_Set_Char_Size(pftFace, 0,
(128*64)/iPointSize, 300, 300);
(I know this is ugly, sorry)
What wrong between Cpi and character size
?
- The other problem is of greater concern to
me
the "...ffff..." line above should be a graphic
line like this "...---------...".
Can the library render those characters (they are
beyond the 127th ASCII) or not ?
Anyway the library saved me a lot of time in this
project.
Cheers,
