| Hans-G?nter@24577 | 1 FTGL is a free open source library to enable developers to use arbitrary |
| Hans-G?nter@24577 | 2 fonts in their OpenGL (www.opengl.org) applications. |
| Hans-G?nter@24577 | 3 |
| Hans-G?nter@24577 | 4 Unlike other OpenGL font libraries FTGL uses standard font file formats |
| Hans-G?nter@24577 | 5 so doesn't need a preprocessing step to convert the high quality font data |
| Hans-G?nter@24577 | 6 into a lesser quality, proprietary format. |
| Hans-G?nter@24577 | 7 |
| Hans-G?nter@24577 | 8 FTGL uses the Freetype (www.freetype.org) font library to open and 'decode' |
| Hans-G?nter@24577 | 9 the fonts. It then takes that output and stores it in a format most efficient |
| Hans-G?nter@24577 | 10 for OpenGL rendering. |
