This library is a wrapper around the excellent FreeType 1.2 library,
|
|
available at:
|
|
http://www.freetype.org/
|
|
|
|
WARNING: There may be patent issues with using the FreeType library.
|
|
Check the FreeType website for up-to-date details.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
'make' to build the SDL truetype library and 'make all' to build
|
|
the demo application.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Please see the file "COPYING" for license information for this library.
|
|
|
|
Enjoy!
