HI all,

I have to render my own fonts in my application at an arbitrarily high
resolution. I suppose the B-splines in TrueType will help me. So I guess I
need to decode the TrueType file, and rasterize it by myself.

Can anybody help? What is the most fast and efficient way of doing this?

I can definitely copy the rasterized font bitmap into memory and/or save to
a file(that's to say, let OS to the rasterization, and I just take its
bitmap result),... the problem is that the OS assume certain DPI reolution,
normally 96DPI. But I want to be able to render the font at any arbitrary
resolution...

How can I solve this problem?

Thanks a lot
