Hello,
I was looking at the freetype demos and they don't seem to be working on
windows 10 for me, I am able to build the demos but they don't seem to work
how they should be. Instead of opening a window and showing the result, the
demo is just opening on the command prompt and just shows text and not
images.

Moreover I think using OpenGL and ImGui for creating the ftinspect demo
will be much easier since QT has a huge install size on windows. I have
created a kind of clone of ftinspect demo using OpenGL and ImGui. Currently
I am using my own framework to draw stuff (which is basically an
abstraction of opengl), but something more well documented can be used
instead (like SDL). I have tested the demo on both linux and windows and so
far it works well on both.

In the demo I have also added the generation of distance fields (using
other libraries). Initially I wanted to show the demo for my GSoc project
but I wasn't able to do it on time. So the demo can also be used to compare
the output of the distance field and see how well it preserves quality. I
have added two methods to generate distance fields (one from bitman and one
directly from outline).
