ftgl (font rendering library for OpenGL applications)
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
By default, the HTML and PDF API documentation for ftgl is not
|
|
included in the package. If you want to build the docs, export
|
|
DOCS=yes in the script's environment. You only need this if you're
|
|
developing software that uses ftgl.
