Re: [ft-devel] freetype opengl texture

[zill]

I'm still pretty confused then.  First, I changed to FT_RENDER_MODE_LCD
because I don't see where what type I would use for a 256 gray scale.  I'm
also using GL_RGB.  From the description I read, it seems that should work,
but I'm just getting a plain white square.  It seems that nothing is
happening.  I would expect to at least have some sort of screwed up image. 
That tells me that nothing is happening to ft_face->glyph->bitmap.  My gl
function might need changed, but I think the plain white texture is proof
that FT_Render_Glyph isn't doing what I want it to.

I followed everything that I read from freetype (granted it doesn't tell you
how to use it with openGL) so I think I'm using the freetype functions
right.  But nothing is happening to the glyph's bitmap.

Does anyone see what I'm doing wrong?
