[Freetype] How to use bold or italic fonts?

[Marek Rosa]

Hello,


I want to render bold or italic font using freetype. But I don't know
how. Here is example code:

        int                     i_Error;
        FT_Library              library;
        FT_Face                 face; 
        
        i_Error = FT_Init_FreeType( &library ); 
        i_Error = FT_New_Face(library, "Arial.ttf", 0, &face);

        i_Error = FT_Set_Pixel_Sizes(face, 0, 40);
        i_Error = FT_Load_Char(face, 'y', FT_LOAD_RENDER);


        // here I render bitmap (using OpenGL or so)



Question is, how can I set this font to bold or italic (using
FT_STYLE_FLAG_ITALIC or FT_STYLE_FLAG_BOLD)?



Thanks,
Marek
