[ft] Miter join styles

[Marco Wertz]

Please have a look at the attached image. I want FreeType to stroke the shape 
as indicated by
the black lines at the top. Currently, it just draws what you can see in the 
white shape with
the line join at the top of the shape not looking very nice. It'd look much 
nicer if lines
were joined as indicated by the black lines. Is there any way to achieve this 
look?

I'm currently using the following stroker setting:

    FT_Stroker_Set(stroker, (int) ((double) thickness * 32.0), 
FT_STROKER_LINECAP_BUTT, FT_STROKER_LINEJOIN_MITER_FIXED, 128 << 16);    

I have played with the miter limit argument and tried everything from 0 to 1024 
but it doesn't make
a difference.

Any ideas how I can achieve the look indicated by the black lines in the 
attached image?

Thanks!

Marco
