| Version: | 0.1 |
| Latest Release: | 26th October, 2007 |
| Licence: | Free to use and modify without restriction. |
Description
Blitz.FontApi contains some useful functions for using TTF fonts. At the moment it’s only useful for extracting information from the “NAME” table, but if there’s demand I’ll add more functionality.
The most common use of this library is to load a TTF font and get the “Windows” name so it can be loaded by Blitz.
Quick Installation Guide
Include “Blitz_Font_TTF.bb”, “Blitz_Basic_Endian.bb” into your projects.
Quick Example
; Endian support
Include "Blitz_Basic_Endian.bb"
; Load the font
Local myFont.TTF = TTF_Load("C:/Windows/Fonts/Verdana.ttf")
; Print some details
Print "This font's family is called: " + TTF_GetFontName(myFont)
Print "Copyright: " + TTF_Name_GetProperty(myFont, TTF_NAME_ID_COPYRIGHT)
; Cleanup
TTF_Dispose(myFont)
