You might want to add the following two lines to the tops of your generated files: 0 UNOFFICIAL PART 0 BFC CERTIFY CW Adding the above two lines will enable BFC processing. The first line is needed because most models don't contain a 0 BFC CERTIFY (...) (18 years ago, 1-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) No sooner said than done! Thank you for the suggestion. I figured it would be good to wind the polygons consistently but I didn't think to declare it with BFC. Doing so is clearly beneficial. Jim (18 years ago, 2-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) Hey, that'd be great! The makefile is a bit of a rat's nest, because I borrowed it from the freetype library, and modified it. The main reason I did that was for cross-platform compatability, but I've never had a Mac to try on. If you can get (...) (18 years ago, 2-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) Hi Ross, It works! I just built it by hand, so I'll write a simple makefile for it tomorrow. Only issue is that the version of Freetype 2 that comes with OS X doesn't seem to know about FTOrientation, so I just ifdeffed out the few bits that (...)

(...) Hmmm, interesting. txt2dat is currently compiled against 2.1.9, I haven't tried upgrading since txt2dat is the only thing I use it for. But the API doc at the freetype site still documents (URL) FTOrientation API>. Also, version 2.3.1 (which I (...) (18 years ago, 2-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)

(...) I believe it is freetype 2.1.4 (based on the major/minor/patch definitions in freetype.h). The headers are last dated 2002, and a look at more recent freetype changelogs suggests that predates the introduction of "FTOrientation." It's annoying (...)
