User guide
Installing freetype2
Samstag has posted an excellent guide at http://forums.qj.net/showthread.php?t=47934
Samstag is also the author of 'flib' which is another library for freetype2 development and the reason Fontloader is made.
Samples
In the 'Samples' directory within this archive there is example code on how to integrate Fontloader.
- /Samples/Graphicslib/ -- Psilocybeing's graphic library sample
- /Samples/GU/ -- Uses the PSPSDK GU functions
The sample and the fontloader.h are well commented so implementation should be simple.
Changelog
Version 0.1
- Initial Release.
Credits
- Samstag - For flib and inspiring me to create this.
- Shine - The code in Fontloader is based heavily on the freetype2 implementation in LuaPlayer, 99% of the credit for Fontloader should go to him!
