Welcome to the its.vectorfont wiki!

[
Installation and Compilation:

Extract the content of the downloaded ZIP file and copy the its.mod directory into your BlitzMax\mod\ folder.

Compile the module with the following command:

C:\Blitzmax#> bin\bmk makemods -a its.vectorfont
C:\Blitzmax#> bin\bmk makemods -a -h its.vectorfont

Examples are located in the its.mod/vectorfont.mod/examples folder. These include a font generator.

To use this module in your own application you need to import it into your project:

import its.vectorfont

Hershey fonts can be incbin'd into your project or loaded from file, but you will need to copy the fonts you require from the its.mod/vectorfont.mod/fonts folder to your project.

The line drawing function can be replaced with a simple call to font.setlinefn() (See the VectorFontPreview example for detail).
