This library is a wrapper around the excellent FreeType 2.0 library,
|
|
available at:
|
|
http://www.freetype.org/
|
|
|
|
This library allows you to use TrueType fonts to render text in SDL
|
|
applications.
|
|
|
|
To make the library, first install the FreeType library, then type
|
|
'./configure' then 'make' to build the SDL truetype library and the
|
|
showfont and glfont example applications.
|
|
|
|
Be careful when including fonts with your application, as many of them
|
|
are copyrighted. The Microsoft fonts, for example, are not freely
|
|
redistributable and even the free "web" fonts they provide are only
|
|
redistributable in their special executable installer form (May 1998).
|
|
There are plenty of freeware and shareware fonts available on the Internet
|
|
though, and may suit your purposes.
|
|
|
|
This library is available under the GNU Library General Public License,
|
|
see the file "COPYING" for details.
|
|
|
|
Enjoy!
