Re: [Freetype] Re: FTGL fuzzy bitmap font

[Henry Maddocks]

The answer to your problem all depends on what you mean by fuzzy. If 
you are definitely using bitmaps then they can't be fuzzy by 
definition, they are on or off.

Couple of possibilities...

The glyphs are broken. I've seen this in dev versions of freetype. The 
last version I have any faith in is 2.0.9. I haven't tried 2.1.2 yet.

Texture fonts are easy to get wrong because people tend to render them 
too big. You need to keep as close to 1 texel to 1pixel as possible 
other wise the can get real blurry.

Email me directly with a screen grab and I'll see if I can sort it out 
for you. Get my email address from the FTGL website.
