Hello, I'am new to this list,
and just start with a question:
How can I find out, what font sizes are available in a fontfile?
For example I have a file
/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/9x18B-ISO8859-1.pcf.gz
and when using FT_Set_Pixel_Sizes(),
as explained in the tutorial, I can read out data
and can convert the bitmap to ASCII for example.
So my testcode is working.
But I have to use
FT_Set_Pixel_Sizes( face, 9, 18 );
if( error) { ... }
for example, to set the pixekl size.
When I chose different values I do not get a result.
Maybe the reason is, that I use Bitmap, not vector
graphic's fonts.
Can the above step with setting the pixel size be
thrown out and a default-value be used for the
pixel sizes?
Or does this not work, because possibly more than one font is inside
the fontfile?
What I'am doing, is reading a font, for later using the font's
data to write a textlabel into a jpg-file.
I thought that way would be the easiest. Using vector-graphic
representation IMHO would not make sense, or at least too much effort.
Any ideas on that?
TIA,
Oliver Bandel
