FTGL 2.3 14 Oct 2018

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
Outlines
Polygon meshes
Extruded polygon meshes
Texture maps
Buffer maps

USAGE:

FTGLPixmapFont font("Arial.ttf");
font.FaceSize(72);
font.Render("Hello World!");
