Trying to figure out how to render a single character represented by a FT_Bitmap in X

[joe M]

Hello,

I am trying to figure how to print one character from a FT_Bitmap
(freetype2 bitmap).

But, I am not able to get the character to display properly. I seem to
be missing something simple.

I seem to be missing something simple while creating the X pixmap
based on the FT_Bitmap.buffer.

Any thoughts, please?

Thanks
Joe
