Hi all, I don't wish to bug anyone, but I would appreciated it a lot if someone would test and comment on the patch I uploaded last week: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3306533&group_id=202130&atid=980351 I'm really hoping that this patch could make it to ftgl-2.1.3 final release. Basically, the patch adds constructors for creating FTGL fonts from existing / external FT_Face handle. This is particularly useful if you want to create an application combining Qt for font discovery and selection and FTGL for font rendering. Qt provides the GUI and API for selecting fonts and faces, and with the patch above, you can use the FT_Face handle provided by Qt to render the font with FTGL.

Excellent news. This feature will also allow the use of FTGL together with FontConfig (using FcPatternGetFTFace). I will evaluate the patch and let you know of any fixes required. Thanks, -- Sam. |

It makes it a lot easier to use FTGL and Qt in the same project. Best regards, John |
