* Provide a helper class for walking potentially-multibyte unicode strings. * Provide support for multibyte encodings (UTF-8, UTF-16) in FTFont and derived classes, and in FTSimpleLayout. * Put a few UTF-8 strings in non-latin codeplanes in FTGLDemo (toggle at compile-time) for testing. * FTSimpleLayout should be tested extensively before release. I would be surprised if I didn't break at least one unusual use case.
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!"); Please contact me if you have any suggestions, feature requests, or problems.
