FTGL 2.1

5 December 2004

DESCRIPTION:

FTGL is a free open source library to enable developers to use arbitrary

fonts in their OpenGL (www.opengl.org) applications.

Unlike other OpenGL font libraries FTGL uses standard font file formats

so doesn't need a preprocessing step to convert the high quality font data

into a lesser quality, proprietary format.

FTGL uses the Freetype (www.freetype.org) font library to open and 'decode'

the fonts. It then takes that output and stores it in a format most efficient

for OpenGL rendering.

Rendering modes supported are:

- Bit maps

- Antialiased Pix maps

- Outlines

- Polygon meshes

- Extruded polygon meshes

- Texture maps

- Buffer maps

USAGE:

	FTGLPixmapFont font("Arial.ttf");

	font.FaceSize(72);

	font.Render("Hello World!");
