[Freetype] Contours and scaling

[Jon Harrop]

Hi!

I would like to use FreeType to render TrueType and MetaFont text in my 
vector graphics engine.

To do this I either need adaptively subdivided contours which are 
continuously scalable (i.e. no pixel hinting or integer round-off) or I need 
to get hold of the contours as lists of implicit curves (Bezier's, I assume) 
so that I can feed them into my own code.

However, I haven't been able to do either of these and, while everything else 
is smooth in my test scene, the text currently jerks about all over the place 
as you zoom in.

I don't want to use the FreeType rasterizer as I need to apply my own fill 
types and stroke and fill the contours.

Is it theoretically possible to do this using FreeType?

Cheers,
Jon.
