QuickFont - Text Printing and Font Generation Library 1.0.0

Happy New Year!

[New Features]

• TransformToCurrentOrthogProjection configuration option. This allows pixel-perfect text to be rendered at a size consistent with the current orthogonal projection, independent of screen resolution.
• PushOptions(), and PopOptions() methods. Each QFont object now has a render options stack. This makes reusing the same QFont with different render options significantly cleaner.
• CharacterKerningRules kerning configuration option. Manually configure kerning rules for particular characters
• TextGenerationRenderHint builder configuration option. This allows the render hint used to generate texture fonts from ttf files to be set.
• AlphaEmptyPixelTolerance kerning configuration option. When measuring the bounds of glyphs, and performing kerning calculations, this is the minimum alpha level that is necessary for a pixel to be considered non-empty.
• LockToPixelRatio render option. This allows text to smoothly transition between being locked and unlocked to pixel positions. Useful for smoothly transitioning between moving and static text.
• RefreshViewport static method call. It is necessary to call this when changing viewport settings. This is necessary for efficieny reasons.

[Bug Fixes]

• Underscore, quote and double quote characters will now kern properly
• Fixed limitation on downscaling texture fonts (previously glyphs could overlap, throwing an exception)
• Fixed bug where fonts with empty glyphs caused QFont to crash
• Fixed bug in RetargetGlyphRectangleInwards causing an invalid pointer dereference
• Fixed bug whereby it was not possible to set the opacity of the drop shadow

[API Changes]

• QFont constructors no longer take a QFontShadowConfiguration. Instead this is now a member of QFontBuilderConfiguration.
• The QFont.FromQFontFile factory methods now takes a QFontLoaderConfiguration. This contains a QFontShadowConfiguration.
• Both QFontBuilderConfiguration and QFontLoaderConfiguration now contain a QFontKerningConfiguration as a member.
