Yes, this example is very simple to show the most essential basics.

Ah, perhaps a misunderstanding.  I mean the various demo programs in
the `ft2demos-2.3.11' bundle (for Windows it is called ft2dmo2311).
For example, you can control the gamma correction with the keys `G',
`g', and `v' in `ftview'.

Well, FreeType doesn't produce more than 255 gray levels.  For
`sharper' images you must not use subpixel positioning (which gives
bad results at small sizes), or you have to use an LCD rendering mode.
