My truetype rendering engine is sort of working.
Dumping to console as ASCII for now for testing

Can you generate a jsc42 for my signature block please? I assume that your testing with '42' is the same as why my sig ends with '42'. The ultimate answer?

Yes 42 comes from Douglas Adams.

I said works "sort of" because of this - I need to actually alpha blend the BMPs for each letter because they're overlapping and wiping each other out with certain letters. Watch:

It's going to take me a bit. I've got a lot to do before I tackle that rendering issue. I have to retool the loading code to work in a constrained memory environment, and since it changes the footprint of it, I have to then change the rendering code to work with it, after which I can fix the rendering issues. It might be a week or even two. This code is hairy.

Not just rendering but kerning the letters as well?

I actually seem to be kerning properly. That's what's causing the bitmap overlap problem.

Welcome to Agile Club. The first rule of Agile Club is: you do not talk about Agile Club.
The second rule of Agile Club is: you DO NOT talk about Agile Club!
Third rule of Agile Club: if someone yells “stop!”, goes limp, or taps out, the sprint is over.
