[QUOTE="velis, post: 1106369, member: 96429"] Ahhh, according to [URL='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DirectWrite']this[/URL], DirectWrite DOES have API that enables you to render text directly to a texture. (wipes sweat) Here's the [URL='http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd941787%28v=vs.85%29.aspx']relevant msdn article[/URL] with a sample on how to do it. I'm not sure it the [URL='http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ff485854%28v=vs.85%29.aspx']equivalent Direct2D page[/URL] isn't even more appropriate for MePo. I've also found the correct term for character fusion: [URL='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typographic_ligature']typographic ligature[/URL] (combining characters), and the rest (combining accents, etc.) can be found [URL='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_text_layout']here[/URL] (together with a listing of current major implementations) - just in case somebody wants to educate themselves some more ;) [/QUOTE]
