Re: [ft] Pitch Smaller Than Bitmap Width + Make Build Errors

[Mickey Gabel]

Thank you both Werner and Wenlin, it seems it was my bad: I assumed that 
all bitmaps will have the gray level pixel mode.

I did not realize that even when I ask (and usually get) 8bpp 
anti-aliased bitmaps, it seems that FT2 can still occasionally give me 
1bpp bitmaps.
I guess this is an embedded bitmap? I just assumed that FT2 would 
convert it to 8bpp because I said FT_RENDER_MODE_NORMAL.

I think either the docs are misleading or this is a bug.
The 2.3.8 docs for FT_Render_Mode say that "All modes except 
FT_RENDER_MODE_MONO use 256 levels of opacity." and also say that 
FT_RENDER_MODE_NORMAL "is the default render mode; it corresponds to 
8-bit anti-aliased bitmaps."
Basically, it doesn't say you might get a different bitmap format than 
what you asked for.

For completeness I am attaching a 50 line console C program which shows 
this.
The font is simhei.ttf  version 3.02 , file size 10,044,356 bytes (which 
is why I am not attaching it).

Again, thank you for the help :)
