FTGL 2.1
|

5 December 2004

DESCRIPTION:
|
|
|
|
FTGL is a free open source library to enable developers to use arbitrary
|
|
fonts in their OpenGL (www.opengl.org) applications.
|
|
Unlike other OpenGL font libraries FTGL uses standard font file formats
|
|
so doesn't need a preprocessing step to convert the high quality font data
|
|
into a lesser quality, proprietary format.
|
|
FTGL uses the Freetype (www.freetype.org) font library to open and 'decode'
|
|
the fonts. It then takes that output and stores it in a format most efficient
|
|
for OpenGL rendering.
|
|
|
|
Rendering modes supported are
|
|
- Bit maps
|
|
- Antialiased Pix maps
|
|
- Texture maps
|
|
- Outlines
|
|
- Polygon meshes
|
|
- Extruded polygon meshes
|
|
|
|
FTGL is designed to be used in commercial quality software. It has been
|
|
written with performance, robustness and simplicity in mind.
|
|
|
|
USAGE:
|
|
|
|
FTGLPixmapFont font( "Fonts:Arial");
|
|
|
|
font.FaceSize( 72);
|
|
|
|
font.render( "Hello World!");
|
