FreeType GL for infinite font scaling
« on: August 01, 2011, 04:05:20 pm »
Laurent: thought you might want to have a look at FreeType-GL, sounds like a great way to overcome the need to load fonts at every wanted point size: http://code.google.com/p/freetype-gl/

From the project page: "A quick OpenGL/Freetype example for displaying a unicode text using a (single) vertex buffer. The idea is simply to tightly pack every necessary glyphs into a single texture and to generate a single vertex buffer to draw the text."

I already do a similar thing in SFML 2.
