Thread: [Ftgl-devel] Moving fonts in C

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 454-5900

I noticed there's font->Render(text, -1, pos); etc. to move pixmap
fonts in C++. How can it be done in C?

Not sure I follow the question. FTGL is a C++ framework for text rendering. If you want to use straight C, you should choose a C-language library rather than FTGL.

Or perhaps I misunderstood what you're asking?

Nevermind, apparently there's no facility for moving, it has to be
done in OpenGL directly.

By the way, there's a C API in the headers.

   There is now also a pure C API for FTGL. ftglRenderFont() can be used
instead of FTFont::Render(). However, it does not implement all of the
C++ features yet. This is worth adding, though.

Ah, didn't know that. Thanks Sam.
