在pc上用freetype显示英文

一、想象一个文字的显示过程

1、给定一个文字，'A',0x41,可以确定它的编码值

2、根据编码值从字体中找到“glyph”

3、设置字体大小

4、用某些函数把glyph里的点缩放为设置的字体大小

5、转换为位图点阵

6、在LCD上显示出来

二、怎么写代码

1、初始化：FT_Init_Freetype

2、加载字体Face、FT_New_face（打开字体）

3、设置字体大小

FT_Set_char_size（face，char width，char height，horz_resol，ver_resol）

FT_Set_Pixel_Sizes

4、根据编码值加载glyph

找到、取出、转为位图： FT_Load_Char( face, text[n], FT_LOAD_RENDER );

5、变换：移动、旋转    FT_Set_Transform( face, &matrix, &pen );

三、框图

四、程序
