[ft] devanagari fonts - shifting of pen position

[Deepti Chunduru]

Hi,

I am using freetype to render devanagari
fonts.

I need to calculate the shift in pen
position using the formula :
         
      pointsize * resolution/(72*upem)    
           
           
  where pointsize = FUnits * point

This would help me in calculating the
shift in pen position.
How can i get  funits of a glyph
for a font/character?

Currently i use:
pen_x += slot->advance.x >>
6
But this shift gives a lot of gap between
two glyphs

Is there any other way to calculate
correct shift to obtain correct spacing?


Thnx,
Deepti
