Font Stash enables easy string rendering in OpenGL applications. It supports truetype fonts and UTF-8 encoded localized strings. All glyphs are cached in OpenGL texture atlases. Font rasterization is done using Sean Barrett's stb_truetype.h.
Font Stash was originally created and published by Mikko Mononen.
- Bitmap font support
- Truetype font loading from memory
- Added ability to load an arbitrary number of fonts (not just four)
- Use multiple OpenGL textures for glyph caching (not just one)
If you're using OpenGL 3 (no immediate mode), leave the STH_OPENGL3 macro defined on fontstash.h. If you're using immediate mode, comment the line and you're fine.
#include "fontstash.h"
...
/* create a font stash with a maximum texture size of 512 x 512 */
struct sth_stash* stash = sth_create(512, 512);
/* load truetype font */
int droid = sth_add_font(stash, "DroidSerif-Regular.ttf");
/* position of the text */
float x = 10, y = 10;
...
/* draw text during your OpenGL render loop */
sth_begin_draw(stash);
/* position: (x, y); font size: 24 */
sth_draw_text(stash, droid, 24.0f, x, y, "Hello world!", &x);
/* now, the float x contains the x position of the next char */
sth_end_draw(stash);
... Bitmap fonts can be generated using the AngelCode Bitmap Font Generator. It's a Windows program that runs under Linux using Wine. This program generates one or more image files and a text file (*.fnt) containing the bounding box coordinates of all individual glyphs. These coordinates are used to reference the glyphs using Font Stash.
