This is an experimental package used to render open source fonts to polygons using Go.

To use one or more fonts within a Go program, import the main package and the font(s) you want, like this:

import (
  "github.com/gmlewis/go-fonts/fonts"
  _ "github.com/gmlewis/go-fonts/fonts/ubuntumonoregular"
)

Then render the text to polygons and use them however you want:

  render, err := fonts.Text(xPos, yPos, xScale, yScale, message, "ubuntumonoregular", Center)
  if err != nil {
    return err
  }
  log.Printf("MBB: %v", render.MBB)
  for _, poly := range render.Polygons {
    // ...
  }

See https://github.com/gmlewis/go-gerber for an example application that uses this package.

Enjoy!
