Thread necromancy! I've started using FT2 via PyGame, and the font rendering...sucks. I'm sticking with Courier New on the Windows platform and generating glyphs, anti-aliased, into At least two problems have surfaced. The first is that the fonts just don't look that good compared to the built-in Windows renderer, which presumably uses ClearType or something similar (using zoomin the difference is fairly obvious). The second problem, which is not FT2 specific, is that it seems that where I need to index my texels differs from driver to driver. On some drivers I need to go from 0,0 to glyph.width,glyph.height, and on other drivers I need to offset those values by 0.5 texels. Anyone else seen this? Brian |
