• FTGL 2.1
  5 December 2004
  
  DESCRIPTION:
  
  FTGL is a free open source library to enable developers to use arbitrary
  fonts in their OpenGL (www.opengl.org)  applications.
  Unlike other OpenGL font libraries FTGL uses standard font file formats
  so doesn't need a preprocessing step to convert the high quality font data
  into a lesser quality, proprietary format.
  FTGL uses the Freetype (www.freetype.org) font library to open and 'decode'
  the fonts. It then takes that output and stores it in a format most efficient
  for OpenGL rendering.
  
  Rendering modes supported are
  - Bit maps
  - Antialiased Pix maps
  - Texture maps
  - Outlines
  - Polygon meshes
  - Extruded polygon meshes
  
  FTGL is designed to be used in commercial quality software. It has been
  written with performance, robustness and simplicity in mind.
  
  USAGE:
  
  	FTGLPixmapFont font( "Fonts:Arial");
  
  	font.FaceSize( 72);
  	
  	font.render( "Hello World!");
