# hgeTTF2
HGE TTF supported. It's not coded by me. Someone seems not support it any more, so I hold it on GITHUB.
You can find the origin [here](http://relishgames.com/forum/index.php?p=/discussion/3860/).
## Description
hgeTTF v2.0 has improved greatly since v1.0.
Bugs have been fixed.
Performance has been improved a significant amount.
hgeTTF turned into sfmlTTF when I switched to SFML.
But I ported it back to HGE for you HGEers.
You do not need anything except hge+hgehelp to use the library.
It is already linked with FreeType2.
## Changes
Everything is now in the hgeTTF namespace.
No more singletons.
## Features
+ UNICODE support (via wstring/wchar_t)
+ Uses FreeType2
+ Uses hgeSprite for rotations, coloring, etc
+ Uses kerning for fonts that support it
+ Very easy to use
+ Extremely fast
+ Cache system
## Usage
Add the include/lib directories to your project.
+ Includes: hgeTTF/include
+ Libs: hgeTTF/lib
+ Link with the library: hgeTTF_Debug.lib or hgeTTF_Release.lib
In your code you'll need to:
1. Init hgeTTF::FontManager
2. Load the font through the manager
3. Draw
Here's an example:
```cpp
hgeTTF::FontManager FontMgr;
FontMgr.Initialize();
FontMgr.loadFont("Font.ttf");
hgeTTF::Font* Font = FontMgr.getFont("Font.ttf");
Font->setSize(22);
Font->drawString(L"Test", 10, 50);
Font->printf(100, 100, L".2f", 2.0f);
```
First you need a `hgeTTF::FontManager`.
You must initialize this manager with `Initialize()`. If it is already initialized, this has no effect.
Then you use the manager to load a font - `loadFont(Filename)`.
Then get the font from the manager using the filename - `getFont(Filename)`.
Here we didn't check any return values, just to keep things simple.
## Docs
There's no real documentation but you don't really need any.
Just view the header files.
Or hopefully you have some form of code completion (like VisualAssist).
## Notes
+ setHotSpot is relative. So 0.5,0.5 is the center.
+ Compiled under VS2008 and includes those project files.
