3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?


What version of gdipp are you using? On what operating system (with
bitness)?


Please provide any additional information below.

Just a questions for you.  I notice that fonts line MS Sans Serif Regular
and MS Serif Regular, among a few others, are not redrawn.  Is this by
design or is there an option to make them look better?

There is a font called Microsoft Sans Serif and then gets redrawn fine.

Fonts likes MS Sans Serif and Courier consist of pure bitmaps. They are display
exactly the same as they are designed. There is no way to "render" these fonts 
with
our library.

On the other hand, fonts like Segoe UI consist of "outline", curves and straight
lines (mathematical expressions), which can be then converted to pictures 
(bitmaps)
and displayed.
