Why not take a look at the SFont library.
It’s a simple to use bitmapped font renderer.

You store your font as a single image with every character in order. The image
can be quite large (wide anyway). Each character is separate by a region of
pixels at the top which tell SFont how wide each letter is.
It supplies functions to tell you how wide and deep a particular piece of text
will be and has the facility to accept input.

You’ll find a link to SFont on the libsdl site in the Libraries section.

I’m sure there are many more libraries you could use, but I use SFont and I’m
more than happy with it.

Hope this helps

Just keep in mind that it’s GPLed and not LGPLed. (I’ll have to remove it from Kobo Deluxe, as the engine is supposed to be released under the LGPL. There goes my SoFont fixes… sob)

Great! :slight_smile: I’ll consider it as a solution for this SoFont license clash issue.

BTW, how’s this Alvyn BASIC project going? Looks interesting. :slight_smile:

Hi!

Has SDL ever been ported to a (not Linux) embedded system executive, like RTEMS
or eCos?–
