QuickFont - Text Printing and Font Generation Library

Project Images

[Latest Release]

The latest release is available here : http://www.opentk.com/node/2825

[Project Statement]

QuickFont is a free C# text printing library intended for use with OpenTK in place of the current TextPrinter. As well as being faster and cleaner, it is also absent of the "game-breaking" bugs that are present in TextPrinter.

[Features]

• Loads and renders ttf font files, converting them to texture fonts
• Creation of custom texture fonts
• Drop shadows
• Supports pixel-perfect (lock to pixel) option
• Supports pixel-perfect text rendered at a size consistent with the current orthogonal projection, independent of screen resolution.
• Kerning
• Monospacing
• Left, right, centre align
• Justified text
• Super-sampling during texture generation
• Light-weight : written from scratch in about a week

[Requirements]

To use QuickFont in your application you will need:

• OpenTk 1.0 (dll included in download)
• The Mono Framework (version 2.0 or higher) or the .Net Framework (version 2.0 or higher). These come preinstalled in most modern operating systems.
• A video card with OpenGL drivers.

Kind regards,

James L.
