Re: [ft] Problem of oblique using FT_Outline_Transform

[Wang Wei]

Thanks so much! I read your code and I got it working.

The root problem is my horizontal bearing before "v" is from metrics->horiBearingX, and in your codes it's glyph->bitmap_left .

As I read again from the documentation of FT_Set_Transform: 

Note that this also transforms the ‘face.glyph.advance’ field, but not the values in ‘face.glyph.metrics’.

I guess I missed that since I was using FT_Outline_Transform.

Why do you want to step back?  This is completely unnecessary IMHO.

This is *far* too complicated.  Why don't you do the `normal' thing?
Just compile the attached example (directly derived from the
turorial's `example1.c'), and a call with

 ./example-slanting arial.ttf above

gives the attached text file which is just right.  It's almost
trivial!
