Description

Ada Fonts is a minimalistic example of using truetype fonts in OpenGL Ada applications using Felix Krause's FreeTypeAda package

It is intended to be the modern version of the "glut font" demos from a previous era.

It also uses Stephen Sangwine's PNG-IO package, and thin bindings to OpenGL, SDL2.

More importantly, it shows how to encapsulate the scripts and runtime libraries necessary to easily compile and run on any computer running Windows, OS-X, or GNU/Linux.
The only 3rd-party tool required is an Ada compiler.

Setup & Running:

The application's root directory [~/adafonts/] contains files for deployment on 3 platforms: 1)OS-X, 2)linux, 3)Windows, in addition to all the source code.

Unzip the archive.

Open a commandline terminal, and cd to the install directory.

To initiate, type:

.) binw32\fonttf.exe (Windows)

.) fonttf_osx (OSX)

.) fonttf_gnu (linux)
