Writing a tool to output true type fonts as images for use in game. All = is fine the last thing I would like to do is give the true type font = file as an input to the tool rather than having to install the true type = font into the system "fonts" directory. So is there a windows way of = opening a true type font and then using it via GDI or GDIplus drawing = commands ? Thanks Jake |

Give it a try, it's really easy to use and it's portable at the same time. Hope that helps. -- Ignacio Castaño cas...@ya... |

we already have a tool that will convert a truetype image into a bitmap=20 with coordinate data image that can be read by the game to break the=20 single image into individual letters. the game engine is open-source, so you can grab what you need/want from=20 it ;} www.realityfactory.ca cheers mike w www.gekidodesigns.com Jacob Turner (Core Design Ltd) wrote: > Writing a tool to output true type fonts as images for use in game.

i think i misunderstood - you are looking to do the conversion on the=20 fly? this tool is for just converting them to images, but you=20 should/might be able to use some of the ideas to do the same on the fly? mike w www.gekidodesigns.com Mike Wuetherick wrote: > we already have a tool that will convert a truetype image into a bitmap= =20 > with coordinate data image that can be read by the game to break the=20 > single image into individual letters. >=20 > the game engine is open-source, so you can grab what you need/want from= =20 > it ;} >=20 > www.realityfactory.ca >=20 > cheers > mike w > www.gekidodesigns.com >=20 >=20 > Jacob Turner (Core Design Ltd) wrote: >=20 >> Writing a tool to output true type fonts as images for use in game. =20 >> All is fine the last thing I would like to do is give the true type=20 >> font file as an input to the tool rather than having to install the=20 >> true type font into the system "fonts" directory.
