OGLFT Version 0.8
|
||
|
||
OGLFT is a library for drawing text in OpenGL. It usees the FreeType 2
|
||
library to extract information from font files on your system. OGLFT
|
||
can handle any of the files which FreeType can read, both vector and
|
||
bitmapped (although currently the bitmap routines are not implemented).
|
||
|
||
The software is available from www.sf.net/project/oglft.
|
||
|
||
The documentation is in ./doc/html/index.html.
|
||
|
||
The mailing list is oglft-devel@lists.sourceforge.net.
|
||
|
||
A couple of installation notes:
|
||
|
||
OGLFT depends on the GLE Tubing and Extrusion library to create solid
|
||
characters. If you don't have this library (or don't want solid
|
||
glyphs), you can disable this feature with:
|
||
|
||
./configure --disable-solid
|
||
|
||
If the configure script can't find the GLE library and header files,
|
||
it is disabled automatically.
|
||
|
||
UNICODE character rendering, Demo3 and the performance test code
|
||
depend on the Qt library. You can disable them with:
|
||
|
||
./configure --disable-qt
|
||
|
||
Note that the configure script depends on finding the environment
|
||
variable QTDIR in order to locate the headers and library for Qt (if
|
||
not disabled). If the configure script can't successfully build a
|
||
simple Qt app, Qt is disabled automatically.
|
||
|
||
'make check' builds the test programs in the tests/ directory.
|
||
|
||
There is also a (mostly untested) Qt project file from which it may be
|
||
possible to generate a Makefile for operating systems for which
|
||
autoconf is not supported. Edit the files ./OGLFT/OGLFT.pro and
|
||
./tests/tests.pro to change the values to those appropriate for your
|
||
operating system. Generate the library and the test program by doing a
|
||
"make install" (this will actually only copy the library to the ./lib
|
||
directory).
