Title: How to use custom images for Font Glyphs?
Post by: Tenry on August 17, 2010, 09:07:30 pm

SFML uses the class Glyph to describe a single character a font has.
In the doc I see the attributes Advance, Rectangle and TexCoords, but I don't see any method with that I might add a custom glyph.

Is it possible to add custom glyphs to a custom font instead of loading a vector font like ttf?

I know SFML supports some bitmap font types, but I can't find much information or editors about them and additionaly I don't know whether those are only black-white formats or full color.

SFML doesn't support bitmap fonts at all, you can only load glyphs from font files.

If you want to display bitmap characters, use images and sprites instead.
