## Install
```bash
go get -u github.com/danielgatis/go-freetype
```
And then import the package in your code:
```go
import "github.com/danielgatis/go-freetype/freetype"
```
### Example
An example described below is one of the use cases.
```go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"image/png"
"io/ioutil"
"os"
"github.com/danielgatis/go-findfont/findfont"
"github.com/danielgatis/go-freetype/freetype"
)
func checkErr(err error) {
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("Failed: %v\n", err)
os.Exit(1)
}
}
func main() {
fonts, err := findfont.Find("Arial", findfont.FontRegular)
checkErr(err)
data, err := ioutil.ReadFile(fonts[0][2])
checkErr(err)
lib, err := freetype.NewLibrary()
checkErr(err)
face, err := freetype.NewFace(lib, data, 0)
checkErr(err)
err = face.Pt(32, 72)
checkErr(err)
img, m, err := face.Glyph('A')
checkErr(err)
f, err := os.Create("image.png")
checkErr(err)
err = png.Encode(f, img)
checkErr(err)
fmt.Printf("Image: %v\n", f.Name())
fmt.Printf("Metrics: %v\n", m)
err = face.Done()
checkErr(err)
err = lib.Done()
checkErr(err)
}
```
```
❯ go run main.go
Image: image.png
Metrics: &{23 23 -1 23 21 -11 3 30}
