[ft] wrong positions of characters

[Julian Gardner]

I have got the following code running and drawing my text

 

...

    err = FT_Load_Glyph( face, char_index, FT_LOAD_TARGET_NORMAL)

    if( err)

    {

        .....

    }

    err = FT_Render_Glyph( face->glyph, FT_RENDER_MODE_MONO);

    if( err)

    {

        .....

    }

 

I draw the font to my output but all the chars are in different positions, not lined up on then screen.

 

I have looked at the slot structure and I have varying bitmap_left, bitmap_top.

 

eg

PleaseWait gives

P (2,16) l (2,17) e (1,12) a (1,12) s (0,12) e (1,12) W (0,16) a (1,12) i (2,17) t (0,16)

 

now at the moment i copy from 0,0 to slot->bitmap.width, slot->bitmap.rows

 

What should i do with the bitmap_left and bitmap_top to get my text on the same line?
